DISCUSSION

Issued at 1117 PM CDT Thu Jun 4 2026

Upper-level pattern characterized by a ridge across the Deep South and a low across west Texas with the ArkLaTex sandwiched between these two features. Eastern half of the ArkLaTex will be influenced more heavily by the ridge allowing for slightly drier conditions on Friday while increased southwest flow across East and northeast Texas will result in higher rain chances across these areas.

On Saturday, disturbance in the Gulf of America to swing northwest along the western periphery of the upper-ridge, directly across the ArkLaTex, resulting in widespread rain across the region. Upper-level pattern to remain nearly unchanged through Sunday, with the exception of an upper-low swinging northeast across the Central Plains, which will maintain higher rain chances through the end of the weekend.

Big shift in the pattern expected early next week as a surface and upper-ridge build areawide. Subsidence associated with the upper-ridge will not only lead to mostly dry conditions, but will also bring a warming trend to the region. Afternoon highs in the 80s during the weekend will approach the mid 90s by midweek.
