KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1130 AM CDT Fri Sep 11 2026

- Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible this afternoon due to an approaching cold front.

- Hot and mainly dry conditions to return for the weekend.

- Hot conditions to persist through midweek with cooler temperatures forecast late next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1100 AM CDT Fri Sep 11 2026

Upper-level trough to swing east across the region through this afternoon allowing for enough instability to support scattered convection across the region along a frontal boundary that is lingering across the ArkLaTex. Post-frontal cooler air will limit afternoon highs to the upper 80s across portions of southeast Oklahoma and into the Ouachitas in Arkansas with the benefits of increased mixing and instability allowing for highs in the low to mid 90s elsewhere across the ArkLaTex.

Front is forecast to retreat north on Saturday with an upper-ridge forecast to rebuild across the region bringing a return of hot conditions with highs in the mid to upper 90s each day through the weekend into the middle of next week. With the upper ridge prevailing, limited precipitation can be expected. However, a few sites south of I-20 could benefit from isolated diurnally driven convection along the seabreeze boundary on Monday and Tuesday.

A cold front to push south across the ArkLaTex on Thursday night possibly bringing increased chances for showers and thunderstorms. Cooler temperatures behind the front could be the first real signal that summer is waning across the ArkLaTex with temperatures expected to continue a slow downward trend as we move into Autumn. /05/
