Scattered showers and thunderstorms impacted parts of East Texas during the afternoon hours on June 22nd as convection continued to develop and locally expand in coverage as a result of colliding outflow boundaries. In advance of the developing convection, a moist and unstable environment was in place, with MLCAPE values as high as 3000 to 4000 J/kg and precipitable water values nearing 2 inches.

The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms impacted parts of East Texas during the afternoon hours on June 22nd as convection continued to develop and locally expand in coverage as a result of colliding outflow boundaries. In advance of the developing convection, a moist and unstable environment was in place, with MLCAPE values as high as 3000 to 4000 J/kg and precipitable water values nearing 2 inches. A few of these thunderstorms produced damaging wind gusts with downed trees across parts of Gregg County, including near the East Texas Regional Airport.

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Monday Night)
Issued at 248 PM CDT Sun Jun 22 2025
Broad ridging aloft and at the surface centered over the Central
Appalachians and covering the Ohio River Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and
Southeast CONUS is keeping a rather consistent on-shore low-level
flow over the Four State Region. Widely scattered, diurnally-
driven convection has moved inland from the Louisiana coast to as
far north as the Interstate 30 corridor of East Texas. This
activity should begin to gradually diminish in coverage by very
late afternoon as daytime heating wanes and should dissipate
completely early this evening. Warm and muggy conditions are
expected tonight with overnight low temperatures only falling into
the lower to middle 70s.
Monday is expected to be very similar to today as the overall
synoptic conditions remain mostly stagnant for our region. Strong
upper ridge will remain firmly entrenched over the Eastern CONUS.
Model guidance suggests there may be slightly increased coverage
of both diurnal convection and clouds during the day Monday as a
couple of weak perturbations in the flow aloft rotate around the
upper ridge. Rain chances should remain limited mostly to
locations southeast of a line from Lufkin TX to El Dorado AR. The
expected increase in cloud cover may be enough to cool daytime
high temperatures by a degree or two compared to today, although
still expected to be in the lower to middle 90s. That introduces
uncertainty in where to place a Heat Advisory for Monday.
Confidence is moderate to high that an advisory will likely need
to be issued somewhere in our CWA, as peak heat index values
should be between 100 and 105 degrees F in most areas. However,
confidence is not high in the exact locations and coverage of the
highest heat indices. Therefore, a new issuance will be left to
the evening and mid shifts. However, the most likely locations are
generally the same as today's advisory.
Similar to today, any convection that does develop should
dissipate early Monday evening.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through next Saturday)
Issued at 248 PM CDT Sun Jun 22 2025
Overall, a general persistence forecast is expected through next
Saturday. Tuesday will be very similar to Monday. However, the
strong upper level ridge is expected to gradually expected
westward during the work week. The center of the upper ridge
should retrograde more into Tennessee and Kentucky while the
surface ridge migrates more to the southwest. As a result,
subsidence should gradually increase overhead, and rain chances
will decrease and becoming more confined to our southernmost
counties of Deep East Texas and parishes of Central Louisiana.
The increased subsidence and decreased rain chances will also
combine to result in a slow warming trend through the week.
Daytime high temperatures may be in the upper 90s to near 100
degrees F in several locations by Thursday and Friday, especially
across Louisiana. This should also be the most likely area to need
Heat Advisories over the coming week.

Issued at 1241 PM CDT Sun Jun 22 2025
Uniform CU field and VFR has returned this afternoon with all
terminals prevailing SCT coverage below 5kft. NE positioning of
the upper ridge and eastern vicinity surface high pressure
continues to prevail south/southeast terminal winds around 5kt.
Expectation is for convection to develop east of the MLU terminal
later this afternoon, with some mid and upper level debris
drifting west through the overnight as the low level CU field
diminishes. Potential exists for spotty SHRA/TSRA through the mid
to late afternoon as diurnally driven sea breeze convection
advances north, though location confidence was not high enough to
include at this time outside of LFK. Through sunrise, eastern
terminals of LA and AR should see SKC to start as low clouds will
drift north across the far western terminals of ETX. Similar to
this morning, brief period of MVFR, maybe even IFR will be
possible before the lifting and scattering out theme recycles.
