.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1121 PM CDT Thu Sep 24 2026

Northeast winds in wake of a recent cool front will continue to
bring in a noticeably drier and cooler airmass across the region.
Expect overnight lows to range from the upper 50s to middle 60s,
with highs on Friday ranging from the upper 80s to lower 90s.
Although northeast winds will remain in place over the region, the
winds will not be as strong as Thursday and the RH values are
expected to be a tad higher, so we will not continue the Fire
Danger Statement over the area. However, Burn Bans remain across
the overwhelming majority of our counties and parishes, so outdoor
burning and activities that involve open sparks or flames are
still discouraged. Concurrently with the post-frontal airmass,
upper-level ridging has built into the region. This ridge will
remain in place through the upcoming weekend, keeping dry weather
in the forecast. But, we will continue to see an abundance of high
cirrus across the region during this period. A slight warning
trend will also commence over the weekend, as light southerly
winds return across the region. However, we aren`t expecting
triple digit readings or heat advisories to return.

As we move into next week, long-range models are suggesting a
closed trough will move across the Four Corners Region of the
CONUS and finally eject out into the Plains by Wed/Thurs. Ahead of
the trough, our flow aloft will become southwesterly. Weak
disturbances along this flow could introduce some rain chances
into our western zones (mainly East Texas and SE Oklahoma) by
Tuesday afternoon, then into remainder of the forecast zones on
Wednesday and Thursday, as the trough and associated cool front
slowly move across the area. This could bring us much needed
rainfall to help mitigate the fire and drought concerns over the
region. /20/

Still expecting a weak cu field across mainly our eastern half
by late morning into the afternoon hours. Winds will vary from NNE
to ENE today with speeds generally under 10kts. Overnight, did
