.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1217 AM CDT Wed Jun 24 2026

Showers and thunderstorms seen across the northern half of the
region this evening are starting to clear the area to the east,
with some lingering light showers across northeast Louisiana and
south central Arkansas. Gradually this moisture will come to an
end and we will see a short couple of hours with no precipitation,
followed by another round of showers and thunderstorms towards
sunrise. This activity  will linger into the early to mid
afternoon hours before starting to diminish, although we could
still see some lingering showers into Wednesday evening. Thinking
the best chances will be along and northeast of a line from Mount
Pleasant, TX to Shreveport LA, to Natchitoches, LA. Some of these
storms will be capable of producing heavy rain, with some training
possible. With the current trends pointing that precipitation
will be ongoing through the morning hours, I have extended the
Flood Watch out through 18z on Wednesday. With the amount of
moisture this area has received over the past week, it won't take
much to bring on flooding concerns.

To some this might come as a sigh of relief, while others will
dread this news, but once the last rain drop falls on Wednesday,
the sauna cranks the dial and steals the show heading into the end
of the week. Should the forecast remain true, meaning the end of
precipitation as we know it for the foreseeable future (after
Wednesday), temperatures will quickly start to climb starting on
Thursday as an upper-level ridge begins to build into the region.
Thursday will see highs range from the upper 80s across our
northern zones to the upper 90s across our southern zones. Similar
conditions are expected on Friday, but the 90s return to the
entire region on Saturday and will be the mid to upper 90s by the
start of next week. While these temperatures appear to be
manageable, considering the relatively "cool" June, add in the
humidity and we are looking at heat index values in the lower to
mid 100s by Friday. The values increase to around 105 to 110 as
early as Sunday and then linger here for Monday and Tuesday. As
such, heat headlines will likely be needed heading into the
weekend and into the start of next week. All it takes is a wave of
scorching heat to make us truly miss the rainy days we sometimes
take for granted. /33/

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 656 AM CDT Wed Jun 24 2026

Convection has again redeveloped this morning across much of SW AR
and NCntrl/NE LA, and will likely persist through much of the
morning before diminishing around midday into the early afternoon
hours. This convection will likely affect the ELD/MLU terminals,
but may also affect TXK as well, and will result in IFR/low MVFR
cigs and reduced vsbys. Away from the convection, IFR/low MVFR
cigs have developed across E TX/much of NW and Cntrl LA, with
cigs expected to gradually improve by mid and late morning,
returning to VFR by midday, eventually scattering out over E
TX/Wrn LA. While some elevated cigs from convective debris may
linger across Srn AR/NCntrl LA, this too should thin by mid and
late afternoon. There is some potential for additional isolated to
scattered convection that may develop late this afternoon into the
evening over portions of SW AR/N LA, which may linger into a
portion of the overnight hours. However, low confidence precludes
any mention in the affected terminals attm. SSW winds 5-10kts
today, except Vrb winds around 5kts across SW AR, will become
light S or Lt/Vrb after 00Z. /15/
