KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1206 AM CDT Sun Jun 28 2026

- Upper-level ridge continues to build and strengthen across the region, leading to dry and hot conditions.

- Ridge pushes towards the east around the middle of the week, allowing some precipitation chances to return.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1206 AM CDT Sun Jun 28 2026

Models remain in good agreement that upper-level ridging will build and strengthen across the region over the next 24-48 hours. As a result, dry conditions will continue to prevail, and temperatures will continue to slowly increase. We have seen temperatures increase a degree or two since the skies dried up, and this trend will only continue for Sunday and into the start of next week. We have remained borderline for reaching that Heat Advisory threshold over the past few days, and we will be close again on Sunday. I still don't think that we will see widespread heat index values greater than 105 degrees on Sunday, so I am electing not to go with a Heat Advisory today, despite having them pop up just east of our CWA. Thinking that Monday and Tuesday will still be our best days to reach criteria and likely need some heat headlines.

While the heat is expected to linger well into the middle and end of next week. The ridge is expected to shift further to the east, which will place our area on the western peripheral. This will allow some Gulf moisture to push northward into our region, and could lead to daily diurnally driven showers and thunderstorms starting on Wednesday and lingering into the end of the week. It will not be anything like the rain we got over the past two weeks, with 1-7 day QPF amounts remaining quite meager. /33/

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1256 AM CDT Sun Jun 28 2026

For the ArkLaTex terminals, fair skies overnight will give way to more MVFR cigs by daybreak. These decks will lift and scatter by lunchtime with another hot and breezy afternoon. S/SW winds 10-15G20-25KT will arrive before VFR and then linger for much of the afternoon. Really consistent pattern lately and one which will linger into the new work week. We still look for some diurnal convective activity lifting inland off the Gulf mid to late week. /24/
