KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1228 AM CDT Sat Aug 1 2026

- Seasonable temps and slight rain chances return for our Saturday, as another cool front moves into the area. The best rain chances remain along and south of the I-20 corridor.

- Heat builds back under upper ridging by next week, with more above average summer heat and possible heat headlines once again.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1228 AM CDT Sat Aug 1 2026

Upper ridging has shifted west of the region, while a deep trough remains in place across the eastern CONUS. This has resulted in flow aloft becoming northwesterly across the region. This flow will drive a cool front into the forecast area through much of Saturday. Slight to low chance POPs will be possible along the preceding pre-frontal trough as it pushes through the area, with some isolated showers or thunderstorms developing before dawn tonight along and north of the Interstate 20 corridor. As the front and associated pre-frontal trough continues to push across the region, models continue to highlight slight to low chance POPs, with the best chances along and south of Interstate 20 during the daytime hours on Saturday. Most of this precipitation is expected to remain isolated to widely scattered in coverage, and confined to the advancing trough. Progs are hinting at some additional isolated convection developing along the trailing cool front as it moves into our southern forecast zones, so decided to keep some slight rain chances along and south of the US Highway 84 corridor of Deep East Texas and Central Louisiana through the late afternoon and early evening hours Saturday. With the passage of the trough/front, along with cloud cover and rain, we should see some slightly cooler temperatures across the area on Saturday. Therefore, the ongoing Heat Advisory was allowed to expire this evening.

The front is expected to move through the entire forecast area by early Saturday evening. Northerly winds in wake of the front will push some drier and cooler conditions into the region on Sunday. Afternoon highs will top out in the low to mid 90s, with dew points in the low to middle 60s. Upper ridging will settle back over the region for all of next week, bringing a return of hot and humid conditions, and the possible return of heat headlines.
