.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1203 PM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

A lingering upper-trough extending from the Ohio River Valley
southwest into the ArkLaTex, combined with a weak surface 
boundary across northeast Texas along the I-30 corridor, will 
provide enough instability to generate scattered afternoon showers
and thunderstorms across much of the region today. Weak ridging to
build across the region on Thursday in the wake of the front
shifting north and the upper-trough exiting the region. Under a
subsident dome of high pressure, temperatures are forecast to 
climb into the mid 90s on both Thursday and Friday with otherwise 
dry conditions prevailing.

A latitudinally oriented broad upper-level trough and surface
front to build south across the region late in the weekend and
will linger areawide through the end of the forecast period on 
Tuesday night. Instability associated with the trough and surface 
boundary will allow for periods of convection across portions of 
the ArkLatex each day. Additionally, with increased mixing and 
cloud-cover, high temperatures will be slightly cooler than what 
is expected for July, averaging in the upper 80s to lower 90s on 
both Monday and Tuesday. /05/
