KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1207 AM CDT Mon Sep 28 2026

- Isolated to scattered showers are possible across the western ArkLaTex this morning, continuing south into the afternoon.

- Tuesday will remain dry while highs continue to climb into the low to middle 90s and lows return to the 70s.

- More significant rainfall chances return by mid to late week, possibly as soon as Wednesday for east Texas, with flash flooding increasingly possible Thursday and Friday for the western ArkLaTex.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1207 AM CDT Mon Sep 28 2026

Upper level ridging has amplified along an axis extending from west Texas north across the Great Plains into the midwest. Steering aloft has created a northwest flow regime which has been pushing some scattered light showers into the ArkLaTex out of Oklahoma. These showers look to diminish overnight, but weak impulses riding along the northwest flow will kick up additional rounds of showers arriving from the northwest towards daybreak and continuing into the morning, advancing and rebuilding into east Texas into the afternoon hours. The latest high resolutions models are struggling to resolve widespread afternoon convection, if any at all, and in runs where storms do develop, they are largely confined to Texas. Amended PoPs to reflect these recent trends.

As with last night, light winds and narrowing dewpoint depressions will allow for patchy fog development across deep east Texas, particularly in the Lufkin and Nacogdoches areas, diminishing soon after daybreak. Under the eastern flank of the upper level ridge, highs this afternoon will climb into the lower 90s areawide. Lows will range from the lower 60s northeast to upper 60s southwest at least once more before following suit in the emerging warming trend. The ridge will continue its eastward advance, with its axis directly over the ArkLaTex by lunchtime Tuesday, which looks to be dry areawide and the warmest day of the week for area sites, as highs aim for the low to middle 90s.

By Wednesday, the ridge will quickly lose definition and get absorbed into the prevailing synoptic flow as a deepening trough plunges south over New Mexico and Texas and pushes east over the Front Range. With this powerful forcing mechanism aloft and southerly flow funneling Gulf moisture into our Four State Region, a broad area of rainfall looks to arrive from the west by mid to late week.

The big question surrounding this system has been and continues to be timing. The 00Z GFS seems to be favoring a slower solution, with rain arriving Wednesday afternoon for only our westernmost zones, making an eastward push across the entire ArkLaTex early Thursday. The likelihood of rainfall heavy enough to produce flash flooding is increasing across the western ArkLaTex Thursday and Friday, with the highest risk areas just to our north and west. Late week rainfall will start to make a dent in afternoon temperatures late this week and into the weekend, while overnight lows drop back from the 70s into the middle to upper 60s.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 624 AM CDT Mon Sep 28 2026

For the 28/12Z TAF period...AC and thin cirrus continues to overspread our region from the north and west. Weak forcing across NE TX will should result in diurnally driven widely scattered convection today so did include VCTS at the TYR/GGG and LFK terminals through the afternoon and into the evening. Otherwise, VFR conditions should prevail through the 24hr TAF period outside any late day convection across NE TX.
