KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1121 PM CDT Thu Sep 24 2026

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1121 PM CDT Thu Sep 24 2026

Northeast winds in wake of a recent cool front will continue to bring in a noticeably drier and cooler airmass across the region. Expect overnight lows to range from the upper 50s to middle 60s, with highs on Friday ranging from the upper 80s to lower 90s. Although northeast winds will remain in place over the region, the winds will not be as strong as Thursday and the RH values are expected to be a tad higher, so we will not continue the Fire Danger Statement over the area. However, Burn Bans remain across the overwhelming majority of our counties and parishes, so outdoor burning and activities that involve open sparks or flames are still discouraged. Concurrently with the post-frontal airmass, upper-level ridging has built into the region. This ridge will remain in place through the upcoming weekend, keeping dry weather in the forecast. But, we will continue to see an abundance of high cirrus across the region during this period. A slight warning trend will also commence over the weekend, as light southerly winds return across the region. However, we aren't expecting triple digit readings or heat advisories to return.

As we move into next week, long-range models are suggesting a closed trough will move across the Four Corners Region of the CONUS and finally eject out into the Plains by Wed/Thurs. Ahead of the trough, our flow aloft will become southwesterly. Weak disturbances along this flow could introduce some rain chances into our western zones (mainly East Texas and SE Oklahoma) by Tuesday afternoon, then into remainder of the forecast zones on Wednesday and Thursday, as the trough and associated cool front slowly move across the area. This could bring us much needed rainfall to help mitigate the fire and drought concerns over the region. /20/
