KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1229 AM CDT Sun Mar 29 2026

- Gradual warming trend to begin today with warm temperatures continuing into next week. - High temperatures in the the mid to upper 80s possible on Tuesday

- Pattern change this week will favor the return of widespread precipitation to the area.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1229 AM CDT Sun Mar 29 2026

Surface high pressure to remain established across the region overnight allowing for light winds and cool temperatures. Expect morning lows to range from the mid 40s to around 50. Surface high to shift east on Sunday afternoon allowing for return southerly flow and a return of warmer temperatures. With skies mostly sunny on Sunday, highs will approach 80 degrees. Much warmer overnight lows on Sunday night around 60 degrees expected.

After a long duration of dry conditions through late winter, a wet pattern will return to the region during the upcoming workweek. Prevailing upper-ridge to shift east allowing for upper-level southwest flow to become established across the region by Monday afternoon. Increased instability associated with a weak upper- trough to the west could allow for a few stray afternoon showers and thunderstorms on both Monday and Tuesday afternoons.

By Wednesday, southern stream upper-level jet increases across the ArkLaTex allowing for deep-layer moisture to return. Weak impulses translating northeast within the mean southwest flow regime aloft, combined with a surface boundary across northeast Texas into southeast Oklahoma and southwest Arkansas, will allow for widespread rain chances across these areas Wednesday evening and night. Surface boundary to drift across the ArkLaTex through Thursday afternoon with upper-flow remaining conducive for widespread prolonged rain chances areawide.

Southwesterly upper-flow to persist through late week maintaining increased instability and allowing for a moisture recharge which will set the stage for another round of widespread convection along a frontal boundary from Saturday night into Sunday.

Otherwise, low temperatures through much of the workweek to average in the upper 50s across the I-30 corridor to lower 60s elsewhere. Highs on Monday and Tuesday could approach the mid 80s to upper 80s with post-frontal high temperatures from midweek onward in the upper 70s to lower 80s. /05/

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 657 AM CDT Sun Mar 29 2026

Ceilings varying from near 4kft to near 12kft will continue to push eastward today and should dissipate by late morning into the afternoon hours. Thus, VFR conditions should prevail through the evening hours tonight. Boundary layer pressure gradient strengthens overnight and model time-height cross sections support returning IFR or MVFR ceilings as far north as the I-20 corridor between Midnight and sunrise Monday Morning so added this to the 12z TAF package. Look for south to southeast winds today with speeds near 10kts or less Today into Tonight.
