.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Saturday Night)
Issued at 840 PM CDT Thu May 9 2024

Some maybe severe wording now only along and south of I-20 for E
TX and LA. We will restructure pops and weather for the overnight
with later updates to remove headlines. For now overnight lows,
winds and sky all look good with no changes anticipated at this
time. /24/

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 243 PM CDT Thu May 9 2024

A brief break in active weather will come to an end as the next
workweek begins across the Four State Region. This is due to a
quasi-zonal synoptic pattern augmented by a series of slower
troughs and faster embedded shortwaves across northern Mexico and
the Southern Plains. The first of these disturbances will arrive
to instigate widespread convection as early as late Sunday into
early Monday, while the next disturbance in the parade will arrive
as early as Wednesday to keep precipitation chances going through
most of the rest of the week. Day 1-7 QPF values of widespread 3+
inch totals are expected with isolated higher amounts possible as
a result. Otherwise, temperature maximums/minimums in the 80s/60s
will gradually return above normal (maximums approaching 90 once
again) after the middle of next week. /16/

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 658 PM CDT Thu May 9 2024

Scattered strong to severe convection will remain possible across
much of the ArkLaTex through 10/05z. All TAF sites will be
affected, but the risk of thunderstorms should generally begin to
diminish from northwest to southeast beginning around 10/03z. A
few scattered showers will remain possible through the overnight
hours, but all rain chances should end before daybreak Friday
morning. Outside of convective effects, VFR flight conditions
should generally prevail with the exception of possibly a brief
period of MVFR ceilings at KLFK. However, VFR conditions with only
some high cirrus clouds are expected after 10/13z across the
region.
