DISCUSSION

Issued at 1042 PM CDT Wed May 27 2026

The upper-level pattern currently in place has left the Ark-La-Tx in somewhat of a lull. A negative-tilt trough is in place over the southern Rockies, with a high amplitude ridge from central Canada to the Gulf and another trough over the Northeast. Being on the outside of the first trough will advect moisture through much of the atmospheric column, making for a warm and moist end to the week. The daily rise in instability and the general lack of forcing will give us an early taste of summer with pop-up thunderstorm development likely in the afternoon hours. As is typical during the summer months, exact locations of storm development will be unpredictable. Some storms may also have briefly gusty winds and some hail associated with them, but no widespread severe weather is expected on Thursday. WPC does have a marginal risk of flash and urban flooding covering the region due to the continued rainfall that has saturated soils.

SPC has a marginal risk of severe weather generally north of I-20 on Friday. This is mainly due to an expected frontal boundary developing to the north that would act as a focus for convective development, but the lack of shear will greatly limit the strength of these storms. Temperatures will reach their highest Saturday and Sunday, with most areas seeing upper 80s to low 90s.

Models have temperatures leveling out into the mid to upper 80s early next week with more daily showers expected. With the lack of movement in the upper-level pattern, these showers are more likely to be sfc driven and nonsevere. But severe potential and flooding concerns will continue to be monitored in the coming days.

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1242 AM CDT Thu May 28 2026

For the 28/06Z TAF update, another round of VCSH/VCTS/-SHRA is expected to linger through the period as an area of low pressure shifts to the east of the airspace. Some VCTS/-TSRA will form by 28/18Z-29/04Z across the eastern 2/3rds of the airspace (creating a risk of MVFR vis/cigs) as a result with light westerly surface winds. /16/
