...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
-- Changed Discussion --
Issued at 957 AM CDT Wed Mar 26 2025

A stalled surface boundary is located across Toledo Bend this
morning, while just to the north, elevated boundary supported
showers and a few thunderstorms remains oriented in a line from
Red River County, TX east to Ouachita Parish, LA. Morning CAMs
have struggled with the evolution of the precip through the late
morning and into the afternoon. ARW seems to have the best handle
at this time, with the HRRR solutions not far behind. Temperatures
have struggled to warm under the dense overcast across the I-30
corridor. Along and south of I-20, warming is ongoing with many
pushing the low and mid 70`s. Elected to decrease some of the
maxT`s across the north while holding steady across the south,
where a warm afternoon is expected to prevail. PoPs have also been
adjusted through the afternoon to account for the orientation of
the precip and recent CAMs solutions.

.SHORT TERM...
(Wednesday through Thursday)
Issued at 405 AM CDT Wed Mar 26 2025

Lingering showers and thunderstorms will taper off after sunset
today across the Four State Region, giving way to slightly warmer
than normal conditions. This ongoing activity is associated with a
shortwave moving along a frontal boundary in northwesterly flow.
Cloud cover associated with this will linger overnight, moderating
temperature minimums into the upper 50s/lower 60s and temperature
maximums tomorrow to the upper 70s/lower 80s. /16/

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday Night through Wednesday)
Issued at 405 AM CDT Wed Mar 26 2025

More active weather will continue across the Four State Region
with daily chances of rain through the end of the week and the
weekend into early next week. Ridging over the Intermountain West
is starting to break down and shift east. By tomorrow it will
displace northwesterly flow aloft and allow some troughing to
undercut it to the south across Texas. This troughing will drive
chances of showers and thunderstorms on Friday into Sunday before
the next appreciable break from activity arrives on Monday. Zonal
flow returns early next week after another more substantial trough
(with attendant frontal boundary) passes northeastward into the
Midwest. Accounting for the presence or absence of precipitation,
the mean of temperature maximums/minimums will remain above
normal in the upper 70s to lower 80s/upper 50s to lower 60s,
respectively. /16/

There have been some heavier pockets of rain that have come with
thunder and dropping visibilities, but most sites remain VFR
regardless of current weather. The rain should dissipate by
27/00z. Winds largely will be out of the northeast to east at
around 5-8 kts before shifting southeasterly and weakening towards
the latter half of the period. /57/
