.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1108 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026
Upper-level ridge to continue building across the north-central
gulf coast tonight into Tuesday while surface southerly flow
continues to advect gulf moisture across the region. Heat index
values earlier today (Monday) approached 105 degrees in many
locations across portions of southwest Arkansas, southeast cross
the entire ArkLaTex
Oklahoma, and northeast Texas. Although conditions were marginal
for a Heat Advisory, the strengthening ridge will likely be enough
to drive heat index values to 105 degrees for a couple of hours
across the aforementioned areas on Tuesday. Thus a Heat Advisory
has been issued.
The upper-ridge will suppress convection across the region
through the workweek. Aside from maybe a few stray thunderstorms
across portions of north Louisiana and Deep East Texas, a dry
forecast to prevail areawide with high temperatures forecast to
approach the mid 90s through Thursday. Additional heat headlines
may be necessary throughout the week.
An upper-level trough to swing east across the central CONUS on
Friday and will help to to flatten the northern periphery of the
ridge resulting in nearly zonal upper-flow across the I-30
corridor. Additionally, a weak frontal boundary will drift south
into south Arkansas resulting in slightly cooler temperatures and
increased rain chances. Rain chances expected to increase areawide through
the weekend into early next week as the front shifts south. /05/

Issued at 607 AM CDT Tue Jun 9 2026
As expected. seeing prevailing MVFR ceilings this morning
impacting our NE TX terminals as well as the SHV terminal in NW
LA. Cannot rule out over the next few hours that we will see
similar conditions across our remaining terminals but we should
see a return to VFR conditions as this cloud cover scatters out
and/or lifts by late morning into the afternoon hours. Look for
SSE to SSW winds today with speeds near 10kts. Look for returning
MVFR ceilings once again late tonight after midnight, at least
across our NE TX terminals once again.
