Issued at 1237 PM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026 Scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon will continue into the early evening, coming to an end by late this evening. Some strong to severe thunderstorms remain possible, as well as heavy rains leading to flooding. The upper level trough responsible for this convection will lift north and east, taking significant rainfall chances with it and leaving the ArkLaTex an opportunity to dry out going into the new work week. Mild and muggy lows in the 70s are expected throughout, with skies remaining mostly cloudy overnight. A few afternoon thunderstorms will be possible across our Louisiana parishes tomorrow, with otherwise clearing skies and increasing sunshine. With the departure of the upper level trough, ridging will build in its place, suppressing widespread convective development and favoring increasing temperatures. Highs will trend into the lower 90s tomorrow and Tuesday, remaining there through the course of the extended forecast period. Combined with dew points remaining high into the afternoon hours, this may result in heat indices approaching and exceeding 100 degrees each afternoon, posing a potential hazard to sensitive groups. A few isolated sea breeze driven thunderstorms can`t be ruled out across our southernmost counties and parishes wednesday and Thursday afternoons, but rainfall will otherwise not make a return until an upper level trough to our north sweeps a frontal boundary south across the Plains, kicking up storms which look to impact our northern zones late Thursday night into Friday morning, with this warm and unsettled pattern continuing into next weekend. /26/ && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 649 PM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026 Isolated convection will linger through the rest of the evening before conditions quiet down overnight. VFR ceilings this evening will drop to MVFR (isolated areas of IFR are probable) overnight and continue into Monday morning. Ceilings will then lift back to VFR by the afternoon and eventually scatter out around 5kft-6kft. Isolated convection expected on Monday, but coverage is too low to include mention in the TAFs for this issuance. Gusty S winds this evening will subside overnight 5-10kts and generally range from 10-12kts with periodic gusts near 20kts on Monday. Vsby reductions (MVFR to IFR) from patchy fog will be possible overnight and early Monday, especially around terminals where heavy rain fell on Sunday. CK && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
