KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1220 AM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026

- This above normal summer heat will continue through the rest of the weekend through next week.

- We will continue to see daily afternoon showers and thunderstorms through much of next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1220 AM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026

As mentioned in the previous discussion, our Heat Advisory for Sunday was expanded further to the south, generally along the I-20 corridor and north, with the exception of a few more parishes to the south central Louisiana. Those areas that are void of a Heat Advisory for today are due to the threat for isolated convection and increased cloud cover today. Going forward into Monday, it is likely that we will have to extend this to the remainder of the forecast area, but stay tuned for that as things could change. Otherwise, ridging aloft will remain settled over our region, which will keep the heat in place for the foreseeable future. Although, model runs tonight are indicating that we could see some "cooler" temperatures towards the end of next week.

As for rain chances, the short and sweet of it is that we will continue to see daily chances for afternoon showers and thunderstorms, granted I don't think we will see anything as widespread as what we saw today. I think the majority of the convection this week will be in the form of diurnally driven and from any sea breeze convection that can push this way. As is common with isolated storms of this nature, some areas could see a significant amount of rainfall, while others could be left dry, sometimes even just a few miles apart. So, overall QPF amounts will remain low over the next several days, but there could be some areas that do see more than others. /33/

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1258 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026

For the 06/18z TAF period...VFR conditions currently across the region with some developing afternoon CU. Models continue to suggest some convection will develop across Arkansas and push into portions of the region by this afternoon into the early evening hours. The sites with the best chance of seeing precip will be KELD/KTXK in South Arkansas and KSHV/KMLU in North Louisiana. However, only included VCTS as chances remain slight, so will amend later if needed. Otherwise, expect passing high clouds over the region in wake of the afternoon CU. Also, there is a chance for some low clouds and patchy fog at KLFK around daybreak. /20/
