DISCUSSION

Issued at 1134 AM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026

Upper-level ridge across the region to maintain dry conditions today with temperatures forecast to climb into the lower 90s. Ridge to shift southwest on Sunday with the ArkLaTex becoming under the influence of northwest flow along the periphery of the ridge. A weak frontal boundary across Oklahoma into north Arkansas could allow for a few widely scattered showers and thunderstorms across the I-30 corridor on Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, subsidence associated with an approaching upper-ridge from the west will drive afternoon high temperatures into the mid 90s on Monday and Tuesday.

A broad-upper low across the Desert Southwest will bring southwest flow across the ArkLaTex. The remnants of tropical cyclone Polo in the Pacific will eject northeast introducing a prolonged rain event across the ArkLaTex from late Tuesday through possibly Friday. WPC Day 1-7 QPF indicates that the brunt of the rainfall, producing near 3 inch totals, will occur across east and northeast Texas as well as southeast Oklahoma while the remainder of the ArkLaTex could see rainfall averages around 2 inches.

High temperatures on Thursday and Friday to average in the mid to upper 80s with lows in the mid to upper 60s. /05/

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 634 PM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026

Sites are expected to remain VFR through the period with the exception of KLFK, which could see some vsby reductions around daybreak tomorrow. Confidence on sub-VFR cloud development tomorrow morning is low at this point due to the lack of confidence on moisture return overnight tonight. I've elected to keep things VFR overnight, with sites staying calm or light and variable for the most part. Another cu field should develop during the late morning hours that will stick around through the end of the period. /57/
