.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1119 AM CDT Tue Jun 23 2026

An upper-level disturbance to translate southeast from the Texas
Panhandle and western Oklahoma into the ArkLaTex early this
evening prompting another round of showers and thunderstorms
within the ongoing Flood Watch area. With soils becoming nearly
saturated across the region from previous periodic rain events
over the past week or two, the flash flood thresholds are becoming
much lower, resulting in flash flooding concerns with lesser
rainfall rates. Thus, the ongoing Flash Flood Watch has been
extended to 7 AM Wednesday morning to account for upcoming
overnight convection.

Conditions are forecast to improve areawide on Wednesday
afternoon, signaling a pattern shift characterized by hotter and
drier conditions as an upper-level ridge builds east across
Texas.

Although there may still remain a chance for diurnally driven
showers and thunderstorms across portions of southwest Arkansas
and southeast Oklahoma on Thursday afternoon, precip chances will
become mostly non-existent through the weekend. Afternoon high
temperatures will climb into the mid 90s areawide with heat index
values exceeding 100 degrees, possibly approaching Heat Advisory
criteria. /05/

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 645 PM CDT Tue Jun 23 2026

For the 24/00Z TAFs, ongoing thunderstorms in north Texas will
push eastward over the next several hours, impacting KTXK with
gusty winds and torrential rainfall. The remnants of these storms
may swing southward overnight, but impacts to terminals along the
I-20 corridor are still uncertain. Including VCTS for most likely
windows of impact. CIGs may deteriorate to MVFR/IFR levels near
daybreak at sites which do not receive precip overnight or have
sufficient time to recover after storms depart. Winds will be
light and variable overnight outside of the vicinity of stronger
storms, remaining southwesterly tomorrow at maximum sustained
speeds of 5 to 10 kts.
