KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1234 AM CDT Wed Jun 10 2026

- A little mixing has helped to keep the Heat index better in check, but the upper ridge is going to build/linger with soil temperatures easing back up over the 80 degree mark this week.

- The hot and humid conditions will peak late this work week, with more areas running heat indices up around 105 degrees. Sensitive groups should plan for necessary precautions. - Thunderstorms will bump from isolated to scattered by the end of the work week and continue early next week easing the heat.

DISCUSSION

Upper ridging is setting up shop over SE TX for the next few days with air temperatures building to include more mid 90s. The humidity is high, but can mix out by afternoon with enough wind. Tuesday didn't see a large turn out in that regard with the likelihood that we will have endure mid to late summer heat in our short term under this building heat dome. Contributing factors include a warming trend on soil temperature in the absence of wide spread rainfall. The sea breeze will again make it into deep east TX with some isolated mid to late day coverage. Generally sparse in amount and often brief for a lucky few sites.

The upper ridge is essentially nesting over SE TX on the short term models with increasing numbers of peak heat indices climbing over the 105 degree mark. We will see potentially several afternoon hours becoming more widespread with Heat Advisories to end the week. The upper ridge will get bumped SW this weekend with a weak frontal boundary bringing some rainfall and slightly drier air in our direction. This is the first of a few weak cold fronts, but each one will have the way paved by the previous. So we can expect a little better coverage of much needed rainfall in the days to come this weekend and especially next week. Until then, the heat builds and additional areas in our Four- State area will see the advisories this week as our highs edge from lower to middle 90s. Southerly winds will become a fixture for us keeping the Gulf humidity well inland. Not much sea breeze under the upper ridge, but the weak cold fronts will help with weak reinforcing air masses over the plains. We do not appear to have much northerly wind in our future for this next week.

The SPC day 3 has good coverage of their General risk for us by the weekend with that weak frontal boundary edging toward I-20. And the WPC EROs (excessive rainfall outlooks) do settle a Marginal risk back into our northern areas with these weak cool fronts. The air mass are going to be moving eastward more than southward, but will pool moisture and increased convection will focus in the mid to long term period of the next week. The CPC 8 to 14 day outlook continues this trend with near or just above heat, but areawide above average rainfall through mid June. So better news for the drought may not come soon, but we will add some needed rainfall in the next couple of weeks. /24/

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 511 AM CDT Wed Jun 10 2026

MVFR ceilings becoming more widespread early this morning across the southern half of NE TX into NW LA. This low cloud cover will continue northward before lifting and/or scattering out by mid to late morning across our airspace. Look for a pretty descent cu field through the afternoon hours before we begin losing the cu after sunset. More MVFR ceilings will return late tonight across mainly our NE TX terminals as well as the SHV terminal. Look or SSE to SSW winds today sustained near 10kts with gusts upwards of 20 to 25kts in some locations today. Those winds will decouple after sunset this evening.
