KEY MESSAGES
- THE WARM WEATHER PATTERN WILL RESUME AS WE GO INTO NEXT WEEK,
BUT INCREASING MOISTURE MAY RESULT IN INCREASED RAIN CHANCES,
ESPECIALLY BY LATE WEEK.
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 330 AM CDT SUN MAR 29 2026
FOR TODAY, AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA, THE
RH AND WIND FIELDS WILL NOT BE AS CRITICAL IN TERMS OF FIRE
DANGER. OTHERWISE, THE WEATHER PATTERN MOST OF THIS WORK WEEK WILL
FEATURE ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE CONUS, WITH A SUPPRESSED UPPER-
LEVEL RIDGE TRANSLATING EAST ALONG THE GULF COAST GRADUALLY BEING
REPLACED BY DEEPER TROUGHING OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. HEIGHTS IN
GENERAL REMAIN STRONGER THAN NORMAL, SUPPORTING A RETURN TO TEMPS
AVERAGING 10-15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL IN THE REGION. CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS TICK UPWARDS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AS
MOISTURE LEVELS SLOWLY IMPROVE. THE TIMING AND DEPTH OF A TROUGH
SWINGING EAST LATE IN THE WEEK MAKE FOR UNCERTAIN IMPACTS IN OUR
REGION, BUT A BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS LOOKS TO RETURN
ESPECIALLY IN THE THURSDAY/FRIDAY TIME FRAME. JUST BEYOND THE
7-DAY FORECAST, A DEEPER FULL LATITUDE TYPE TROUGH PASSAGE MAY
OCCUR WITH GREATER STORM POTENTIAL ON THE BACKSIDE OF NEXT
WEEKEND. /NF/EC/
