DISCUSSION

Issued at 1203 AM CDT Fri Sep 4 2026

Tropical moisture associated with the remnants of what was Tropical Storm Edouard has largely dissipated across the region this evening. This will not mean a complete end to our precipitation chances though. Upper-level ridging will begin to strengthen over the area, but we will continue to see daily probabilities for showers and thunderstorms into the weekend. The most favorable conditions for this activity will be through Sunday, mainly or locations south of the I-20 corridor. However, as the ridge gains more influence over the region, these daily thunderstorm chances will become increasingly limited heading into next week.

As that upper-level ridge continues to build into the weekend, a typical summertime heat will quickly return to the area. We will once again remain borderline for the issuance of any official heat-related products today, but probabilities for reaching at least advisory criteria will steadily increase heading into the late weekend and into the start of next week. Looking ahead, there is unfortunately no real relief from the heat in sight through the long-term forecast period. The upper-level ridge is expected to linger and remain entrenched over the region, keeping temperatures elevated for the foreseeable future. /33/

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 628 PM CDT Thu Sep 3 2026

For the 04/00Z TAFs, some remaining scattered convection moving west may impact KMLU and KELD in the coming hours, but is expected to diminish after sunset. Conditions should remain mostly dry for the remainder of the night and into the morning. Guidance hints at new storms across our southern airspace tomorrow afternoon, but confidence is not yet high enough to prevail impacts. CIGs look to drop to MVFR levels by daybreak, recovering gradually through the morning, with patchy BR/FG development possible at sheltered terminals. Winds will become mostly calm overnight before assuming and easterly to southeasterly orientation onto the day tomorrow at maximum sustained speeds of 5 to 10 kts.
