DISCUSSION

Issued at 1210 PM CDT Sun Apr 26 2026

The warm, humid airmass that is currently in place over the region is here to stay for a few days without any frontal passages to help out. The stationary boundary currently draped over southern OK and AR should begin to move northward overnight tonight, allowing southerly sfc flow move further inland and maintain the current environment. The flow aloft looks relatively undisturbed, with southwest flow dominant over the region. This should help keep the radar clear of any widespread rainfall through the day Monday. But with how warm the environment is, diurnal storms could still develop Monday afternoon without the upper-level support. As such, there is some risk of severe weather if any storms can fire and take advantage of the instability.

Widespread rain chances will return Tuesday afternoon along and ahead of a cold front associated with a low pressure system moving toward the Great Lakes. Unlike tomorrow, there will be some upper-level support in the form of a shortwave trough, leading to greater severe weather concern. The greatest threat will be to areas north of I-20 but some rumbles of thunder will be possible across the whole region. The cold front will help bring temperatures down into the 70s for our northwest zones, with everyone else seeing another day in the 80s.

Rain will continue over the next several days as the cold front slowly works through the region. Things don't look like they will be severe at this time, which will make for an uneventful stretch of rain to help combat the current drought. WPC QPF has much of the region seeing 1-3 inches of rain through the end of the week. The latter half of next weekend looks to be dry with unseasonably cool temperatures in the 60s, which would make for a beautiful day after a long period of rain.
