.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1130 AM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025

Surface high pressure across the gulf waters will allow for weak
southerly flow across the ArkLaTex through the early part of the
weekend. Aloft, an upper-trough across the region will allow for
unstable conditions areawide through this evening, allowing for
increased rain chances across portions of north Louisiana.
Conditions are forecast to improve by midnight with overnight lows
forecast to fall into the low to mid 70s.

Rain chances to gradually diminish through the weekend into early
next week as an upper-level ridge across the Atlantic retrogrades
west across the northern gulf coast, eventually becoming centered
across the ArkLaTex by Sunday. Subsidence associated with the high
will bring diminished rain chances along with a gradual warming
trend with high temperatures by Wednesday nearing 100 degrees
areawide.

The combination of hot temperatures and increased humidity values
will result in heat index values approaching advisory criteria
across portions of the region as early as Sunday. /05/
