.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1220 AM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026

As mentioned in the previous discussion, our Heat Advisory for
Sunday was expanded further to the south, generally along the I-20
corridor and north, with the exception of a few more parishes to
the south central Louisiana. Those areas that are void of a Heat
Advisory for today are due to the threat for isolated convection
and increased cloud cover today. Going forward into Monday, it is
likely that we will have to extend this to the remainder of the
forecast area, but stay tuned for that as things could change.
Otherwise, ridging aloft will remain settled over our region,
which will keep the heat in place for the foreseeable future.
Although, model runs tonight are indicating that we could see some
"cooler" temperatures towards the end of next week.

As for rain chances, the short and sweet of it is that we will
continue to see daily chances for afternoon showers and
thunderstorms, granted I don`t think we will see anything as
widespread as what we saw today. I think the majority of the
convection this week will be in the form of diurnally driven and
from any sea breeze convection that can push this way. As is
common with isolated storms of this nature, some areas could see a
significant amount of rainfall, while others could be left dry,
sometimes even just a few miles apart. So, overall QPF amounts
will remain low over the next several days, but there could be
some areas that do see more than others. /33/

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1220 AM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026

For the ArkLaTex terminals, light S wind or calm in many locales
with fair skies aside from lingering convective debris still
clearing. Near saturation currently in more than one locale with a
few good soakings today. KLFK is already dragging clouds right off
the deck at 002 with little more than a statue mile of vsby. So
covering the well rained on sites with similar tempos around
daybreak. Otherwise, southerly winds 5-10KT and another hot Summer
day and some convection west of I-49 as the hot&dry doldrums resume.
