.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1103 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025

An upper-level trough across the Mid-Mississippi Valley stretching
south across Arkansas into northeast Texas will allow for
increased instability across the region today. At this time,
already beginning to see radar echoes along the eastern extent of
the trough across portions of Deep East Texas. Convection to
increase with the highest coverage across mainly Deep East Texas
and north Louisiana this afternoon. Locally heavy rainfall may be
possible with some storms due to the increased PW values near 2
inches. Otherwise, with increased instability and cloud cover,
temperatures forecast to remain slightly cooler than the expected
July highs, averaging around 90 degrees areawide.

Conditions to gradually improve though late evening hours with
the loss of daytime heating. Temperatures tonight to average in
the lower 70s.

Upper-trough to linger across the region through Thursday allowing
for another round afternoon of scattered convection. Upper-ridge
across the Baja peninsula and northeastern Gulf will eventually
merge across the southern CONUS by Saturday, resulting in a
gradual warming and drying trend each day through the remainder of
the week. With the onset of upper-level ridging high temperatures
expected to approach the mid to upper 90s across south Arkansas
and north Louisiana by Friday afternoon prompting the possibility
for heat headlines through the weekend as the upper-ridge becomes
centered across the region. Otherwise, widely scattered afternoon
showers and thunderstorms possible each day through the weekend
into early next week with highs nearing triple digits by Tuesday.

expected this time of the year, gusty winds and instances of small
hail may accompany stronger TSRA. By the evening, this will
diminish with cloud debris in place through the overnight. Mid
cloud will prevail through sunrise ahead of another afternoon CU
