    afternoon into tonight.

  - Additional rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms will be
    possible into the middle of next week.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 232 AM CDT Sat Apr 25 2026

This Weekend...

An overnight MCS is still making its way out of the Delta region and
remains the primary focus in the immediate short term, wind is the
primary threat although hail can not be ruled out, through this
afternoon. MCS is expected to overturn the environment, however some
hi-res guidance hints at development in central Mississippi
tomorrow.  Primary concern will be the sturdy moisture channel that
intersects with this latent energy, a southward progression of the
next convective system later tonight from southeast Oklahoma can not
be ruled out.

Tomorrow into next week, the pattern looks to remain active, as
mentioned. Remnant outflow boundaries stretched out in the region
will remain the focus for renewed development of convection, but the
key will be triggering of new upstream convection in the Southern
Plains and possible MCS development spreading into our area as a
result. The next focus for watching will be a potential MCS later
tomorrow night, which currently warrants a Marginal Risk for severe
storms extending into northeast LA and southeast AR before sunrise
Sunday and expanding to the rest of the area into the day Sunday.
Thunderstorm chances remain in place through Friday across our
region, which as mentioned, has the potential to be strong to severe
if timed out favorably with heating and the passage of upper-level
disturbances over the region. Residents should remain alert to
changes in forecasted impacts over the next several days. /NF/OAJ/

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1234 AM CDT Sat Apr 25 2026

As of 0534Z, GWO, GTR, and GLH are currently reporting VFR
conditions. Poor flying conditions will persist across most TAF
sites through the overnight period due to rain, storms and a low
stratus cloud deck. Low stratus/light rain will persist into
Saturday morning leading to a mix of MVFR/IFR/possible LIFR
conditions. Ceilings will remain low through Saturday morning with
conditions improving to VFR conditions across the area by
Saturday afternoon. VFR ceilings will persist through Saturday
evening. Ceilings will lower to MVFR/IFR status by 11Z Sunday.
