.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1137 AM CST Mon Nov 2 2026

Observational analysis this morning has a deep upper-level trough
over the Rockies. This system will be the focus for incoming weather
across the Central and Southern Plains through the day today,
impacting the Ark-La-Tx overnight tonight. Until then, weak
isentropic lift and some meager instability are keeping some light
showers on radar this morning. Some showers might be too light to
see rain on the ground but a trace has been reported at KSHV by the
time of writing.

The greater push of rain will be coming later tonight as the
previously mentioned cold front pushes into Southeast OK around
midnight tonight. Areas along and northwest of a line generally from
Tyler, TX to De Queen, AR will need to stay Weather Aware between
midnight tonight to daybreak Tuesday, when the front is expected to
push through. The primary hazards overnight will be damaging wind
gusts and flooding from heavy rain but a few tornadoes can`t be
ruled out.

The front will continue to push through the rest of East TX,
Southern AR, and Northwest LA during the day Tuesday. The speed of
the front has rain lingering in our far southeastern zones until
midnight Tuesday night, but there is still some uncertainty on storm
strength. First, the plentiful cloud cover over the region both
today and tomorrow is likely to impede instability development ahead
of the front. But there may be enough heating to allow things to
reintensify during the late morning, even with the cloud cover. For
now, SPC and WPC have highlighted areas not included in today`s
respective outlooks in a marginal risk for severe weather and
flooding to communicate the potential risk tomorrow. These outlooks
are subject to change with future forecast packages.

Fall-like temperatures are expected to follow on the heels of this
front, dropping the region into the low to mid 70s by Wednesday. The
rest of the trough energy should push down into the lower
Mississippi Valley late Thursday/Friday and knock back temperatures
further into the upper 60s. There may be some light rain for some
southern zones during this push, but nothing like what is expected
over the next 36 hours. Long-range models depict quasi-zonal flow
establishing itself Friday and shifting northwesterly with the
southward progression of another low to our north late this weekend.
The GFS solution keeps us dry with plenty of continental air keeping
RH`s low. Should this occur, another period of increased fire
weather concerns may be on the horizon early next week.
