DISCUSSION

Issued at 148 PM CDT Fri May 29 2026

Radar imagery this afternoon is showing some isolated convection across portions of north and central Louisiana, with a few additional showers across northeast Texas and southwest Arkansas. Expecting this activity to continue through the remainder of the afternoon hours before diminishing by this evening. Upper-air analysis this afternoon is showing weak ridging over our region with a large area of low pressure near the Four Corners. The ridge will begin to wash out some as we move through the weekend as the upper-level low transitions to the northeast. As we move into next week, a larger ridge will begin to build into our region from the southwest.

Aside from the showers and thunderstorms going on this afternoon, precipitation chances will be somewhat limited across the region for Saturday and Sunday. That being said, models continue to hint that a few diurnally driven thunderstorms could form through the weekend, with the better chances across our far eastern zones. Despite the influence of ridging building in next week, more expansive, but not widespread, showers and thunderstorms return to the area. QPF amounts will remain on the lower end each day, with accumulated totals over the next 7-days maxing out around an inch. As such, there shouldn't be much in the way of flooding concern over the next several days. As for severe weather, the threat remains somewhat low, but as is common in our area, this is subject to change.

The 90 degree afternoon temperatures will become more widespread starting tomorrow and continuing into early next week. Slightly cooler temperatures, in the upper 80s, will return for the middle of the week and indication point that this trend will continue into next weekend. /33/

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 117 PM CDT Fri May 29 2026

For the 29/18Z TAF period, MVFR to low VFR cigs prevail at the start of this period as cu/stratocu decks blanket our airspace early this afternoon. These cigs will continue to gradually lift and scatter out a bit more through the remainder of this afternoon before diminishing in coverage this evening. Cirrus from the west will continue to increase throughout the period, and then another cu field is expected to develop near the end of the period by late Saturday morning. As far as convection is concerned, some spotty showers and a few isolated thunderstorms will remain possible this afternoon before diminishing after sunset, mainly affecting KMLU. Otherwise, light W/SW winds from 5-10 kts will generally prevail through the period with slightly lower speeds overnight.
