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.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1244 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

VFR conditions prevail at all sites except KTYR and KLFK that will be dealing with VCSH and cigs through much of the afternoon and evening. KTXK could also see some impacts, but most guidance is keeping much of the showers west of the terminal. Showers should diminish soon after sunset tonight. Another round of low cigs are expected to develop from the south and west as soon as 06/06z, with several sites expected to hit IFR levels before daybreak. The earlier development of clouds makes fog development more uncertain, but certainly possible given the high humidity. Cigs are expected to begin lifting soon after daybreak, but scattered showers and thunderstorms moving in from the west could briefly impact terminals through the rest of this TAF period. Sfc winds are expected to stay southwesterly at 5-10 kts and lighter during the overnight hours at all sites. /57/
