Issued at 931 AM CST Thu Nov 13 2025 High pressure across the Appalachians will continue to maintain low-level southerly flow across the ArkLaTex through the end of the week and continuing into the weekend as the high shifts south into Florida. Low-level moisture to continue to advect north from the gulf allowing for elevated relative humidity values. The combination of higher relative humidity values and high temperatures around 80 degrees through the weekend into early next week could allow heat index values to approach the mid to upper 80s across portions of east Texas and north Louisiana each day. Northwest flow aloft will maintain dry conditions areawide through the weekend. However, upper-flow to become more zonal on Monday as the weather pattern begins to transition into something more unsettled. By Tuesday, a frontal boundary will drift south and linger across the region through midweek allowing for a chance for showers and thunderstorms each day.

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1208 PM CST Thu Nov 13 2025 For the 13/18Z TAF period, VFR conditions prevail this afternoon with an expansive cu field continuing to lift in the 3-6Kft range. With persistent southerly flow expected to continue, cumulus may linger this evening and overnight with cigs likely dropping to low VFR and possibly MVFR at some sites by around 12Z Friday morning. Isolated instances of patchy fog also cannot be ruled out, but will defer to the next TAF cycle on any vsby restrictions given the lower confidence for now. Otherwise, look for S/SW winds to generally average between 6-12 kts with some occasional higher gusts this afternoon before speeds drop off this evening and overnight. /19/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
