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

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 646 AM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

For the 05/12z TAFs, most locations will remain VFR until late in the period, but several locations across East Texas, including KTYR, will start this cycle with MVFR conditions due to low clouds and patchy fog. A gradual improvement is expected early in the period with VFR conditions returning to all TAF sites by midday. However, low clouds are expected to bring IFR, and a few instances of LIFR, flight conditions areawide after 06/06z. Otherwise, scattered showers are already developing across portions of Southeast Oklahoma and East Texas. Additional convection is expected, with coverage peaking between 05/19z and 06/02z, mainly west of a line from KMEZ to KLFK. KTYR appears to be the TAF site most likely to be affected.
