KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1234 AM CDT Mon Jun 22 2026

- A stationary front will allow for continued rounds of thunderstorms overnight, early Tuesday and potentially lingering with daytime heating over the same areas.

- The Flood Watch is in effect for the overnight hours and for Tuesday for much of the ArkLaTex north of I-20 until 3 PM.

- Temperatures will climb into the mid 90s by late week into the weekend possibly prompting Heat Advisory headlines each day.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1229 AM CDT Tue Jun 23 2026

Northeast winds across Oklahoma and Arkansas have pinned a now stationary frontal boundary along the Red River of Oklahoma and Texas, and then extending eastward right along the Arkansas and Louisiana state line. We have seen a continued train of showers and thunderstorms, some heavy briefly with confirmed 1 to 2 inch amounts of additional rainfall this evening and more to come overnight. So keep a NOAA WX Radio on duty overnight for any Warnings. The previously issued Flood Watch has been extended for a few northern most counties including McCurtain, Sevier and Howard. In addition, as the front will be lifting back northward on Tuesday, and we have cleared the southern row of counties and parishes from the Watch.

This new Flood Watch area has also been extended in time until Tuesday mid afternoon. We continue with high chance to likely PoPs for the watch area with more heavy downpours expected, due to slow and persistent light NW flow aloft. Our evening balloon sounding continues to show high water content with our PWAT over 2 inches. The WPC continues their Slight Risk for excessive rainfall overnight, then dipping down into NE TX for Tuesday before slowly lifting out the Marginal Risk out of our area late week. Also of note, our surface CAPE remain in the 3-4k J/kg range with our DCAPE over 1000 J/Kg with a Marginal severe threat from damaging winds. The SPC concurs with a Marginal Risk overnight north of I-20 in NE TX into SE OK and S AR and along and south of I-20 in LA. The day 2 indicates this risk will be shifting northward by around daybreak.

Heating will allow additional convection to fire along the remaining cool pool area and lingering outflow boundaries. Otherwise, it will coolest, but still quite warm under the rain clouds across our north, while areas south of I-20 will be bordering on hot again with lower 90s and Heat index values right around the 105 degrees threshold. One thing is for sure, when this front lifts back northward in the afternoon as the upper ridge over New Mexico soars to 597dam by late tomorrow, we will be seeing those hotter temps areawide with likely Heat Advisory headlines going forward into the weekend and early next week. The model forecast temperatures will see widespread mid to upper 90s and until we dry out again, a Excessive Heat Warning may be required for the most humid areas. /24/

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 109 AM CDT Tue Jun 23 2026

Scattered convection continues to develop early this morning along a weak sfc bndry leftover from Monday morning's convection, which extends along the I-30 corridor of NE TX to along the AR/LA border to near RSN/MLU as of 06Z. VFR conditions will persist for at least a few more hours to the N and S side of the bndry away from the convection, although low MVFR/IFR cigs, reduced vsbys, and locally gusty winds will be possible in and near the convection at TXK/ELD and MLU overnight. Low MVFR cigs are expected to develop farther S of the bndry after 08-09Z and spread N across E TX/N LA, affecting the E TX and SHV terminals prior to daybreak, and lingering through mid to late morning before lifting. The convection along the aforementioned bndry should persist through much of the morning as well, but may diminish from E to W by midday into the afternoon, ending at TXK by early afternoon, while remaining N of TYR/GGG. VFR conditions should return by afternoon for the SW AR/MLU terminals, and remain so areawide through the remainder of the 06Z TAF period. Isolated to scattered convection may redevelop though by late afternoon or early evening though along the residual bndry across portions of NE TX/extreme SW AR/N LA, but low confidence precludes VCTS mention for the affected terminals attm. Light S or Lt/Vrb winds overnight (except in/near the convection) will become SSW 5- 10kts by late morning/early afternoon. /15/

HYDROLOGY

Issued at 1229 AM CDT Tue Jun 23 2026

Soils remain saturated in many of our counties and parishes allowing for quick runoff from these slow moving thunderstorm clusters. A weak cool front has become stationary along the Red River of Oklahoma and Texas, and extending eastward along the Arkansas and Louisiana state line. The previously issued Flood Watch has been altered to include less area south of I-20, but a few more counties north of I-30 and until the mid afternoon hours of Tuesday. Please continue to monitor for Flood Warnings in and near the Flood Watch. Creeks and streams will remain active and some additional river flooding may unfold. Please report flooding to local officials and law enforcement. /24/

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT

Issued at 1229 AM CDT Tue Jun 23 2026

Spotter activation may be needed through tonight and well into Tuesday, due to a flash flood risk along a stationary frontal boundary across the northern half of our Four-State area. /24/
