.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1241 AM CDT Sun Oct 5 2025

Upper ridging will slide east of the region, along with the Mid-
Atlantic surface high, that help advect drier and slight cooler
conditions into the region over the past couple of days. Rain
chances will return across portions of the region by this
afternoon in association with an area of low pressure that has
been lingering in the northern Gulf near the Louisiana coast over
the past few days. The best chance for precipitation today will be
across our Northeast and Central Louisiana zones. These rain
chances are expected to remain across Northeast and Central
Louisiana during the evening and overnight period.

As we move into Monday and Tuesday of next week, rain chances
will expand north and westward across the remainder of our
forecast zones, as the Gulf low will eventually move inland
somewhere near the Texas/Louisiana border. This is very welcome
news, as much of the area is experiencing abnormally dry
conditions. By Wednesday, a weak cool front will dive south across
the CONUS into our region. Expect rain chances to remain with
this boundary. Behind the front, dry weather and slightly above
normal temperatures will return by the end of the week into next
weekend, as upper ridging is expected to build back into the
region from the southwest. /20/

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 633 AM CDT Sun Oct 5 2025

VFR conditions currently prevailing across our airspace attm. That
should hold true through the day as well. Look for a developing cu
field across our airspace by late morning through the afternoon.
Increasing tropical moisture across our eastern airspace should
result in widely scattered showers and thunderstorms this
afternoon that could continue into the evening and perhaps, even
the overnight hours late tonight. For this reason, have kept VCTS
mention at the ELD and MLU terminals only beginning this afternoon
and prevailed those conditions into the evening hours before
transitioning to VCSH after midnight through 12z Mon. Cannot rule
out the possibility of VCSH at SHV prior to 12z Mon as well. Did
introduce MVFR ceilings across at all terminals with the exception
of TXK and TYR with this TAF package.
