DISCUSSION

Issued at 1203 PM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

A lingering upper-trough extending from the Ohio River Valley southwest into the ArkLaTex, combined with a weak surface boundary across northeast Texas along the I-30 corridor, will provide enough instability to generate scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms across much of the region today. Weak ridging to build across the region on Thursday in the wake of the front shifting north and the upper-trough exiting the region. Under a subsident dome of high pressure, temperatures are forecast to climb into the mid 90s on both Thursday and Friday with otherwise dry conditions prevailing.

A latitudinally oriented broad upper-level trough and surface front to build south across the region late in the weekend and will linger areawide through the end of the forecast period on Tuesday night. Instability associated with the trough and surface boundary will allow for periods of convection across portions of the ArkLatex each day. Additionally, with increased mixing and cloud-cover, high temperatures will be slightly cooler than what is expected for July, averaging in the upper 80s to lower 90s on both Monday and Tuesday. /05/
