Issued at 1203 PM CDT Sun Jul 12 2026

- Showers and thunderstorms to increase in coverage through the afternoon. Some storms may produce strong wind gusts and locally heavy rainfall.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1202 PM CDT Sun Jul 12 2026

A weak frontal boundary to ease south across the ArkLaTex today and linger areawide through midweek. The combination of the frontal boundary and an upper-trough extending across Texas into the ArkLaTex and into the Tennessee Valley will maintain an unsettled weather pattern across the region. Primarily driven by diurnal heating and rich low-level moisture, thunderstorms will continue to develop along the front this afternoon, possibly producing strong and gusty winds at times.

Synoptic pattern to remain stagnant through at least Wednesday with the front and upper-trough forecast to linger across the region. Thus, periods of convection can be expected to develop, both nocturnally and diurnally, through midweek. Locally heavy rainfall that could lead to isolated flooding issues could be of concern mainly within the vicinity of the boundary across I-20 and southward. With increased cloud-cover and rainfall, temperatures will be rather mild for July with highs to average in the upper 80s to lower 90s through Wednesday.

Upper-level ridge to build across the region beginning Wednesday night allowing for a gradual drying trend through late week. Accordingly, high temperatures are forecast to climb into the mid 90s across most locations by Saturday.
