KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1226 PM CDT Tue Sep 22 2026

- Very isolated convection remains possible today, followed by generally dry conditions for the rest of the week.

- We will see a very brief reprieve from the heat later this week, most notably felt on Thursday and Friday morning.

- While it is still very early, a more active pattern looks possible heading into next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1226 PM CDT Tue Sep 22 2026

Satellite imagery is starting to show an increase in CU across much of the region. And as of writing this, we are starting to see some returns pop up on radar across central Louisiana. We will see isolated convection start to tick upward through the remainder of the afternoon hours, thinking the best chances will be for areas along and south of I-20. Although with how well we over achieved yesterday, I could see things happening in a very similar fashion. Regardless of where convection pops up, things will quickly diminish again around or shortly after sunset. From here, I have more confidence that Wednesday through at least Friday will be dry as the center of the upper-level ridge moves overhead.

The NBM continues to come in with some slightly cooler temperatures for Thursday and Friday, and when I say slightly I mean still above normal and still hot, but not as hot. Thursday night into Friday morning could be one of the coolest temperatures we have seen in a while though, with temperatures in the lower to upper 60s. This brief "cool down" will be short lived, as temperatures quickly make a 360 and start heading back towards the century mark for Saturday and Sunday. But here is where things get a little more interesting and worthwhile to discuss. Models are suggesting that we will move into a more active period heading into next week, with the ridge breaking down and a large closed low moving into the Four Corners region by the middle of next week. This could bring some much needed rainfall to the region. Now that being said, given that it is more than a week away, don't get too hooked on the idea as timing, location and details will most likely change dramatically. But I am saying there is a chance. /33/
