SHORT TERM
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1228 AM CDT SUN MAY 31 2026
MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL KEEP THE FORECAST WARM AND DRY FOR SUNDAY
INTO SUNDAY NIGHT WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS 10-15 MPH AND TEMPERATURES
IN THE MID 90S. WITH A DRYLINE WELL TO OUR WEST SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AND THE BEST DEEP LAYER MOISTURE DISPLACED TO OUR EAST, ANY
SCATTERED STORM ACTIVITY WILL BE WELL REMOVED FROM NORTH TEXAS.
SOME PASSING HIGH CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED MAINLY THIS MORNING, BUT
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WILL PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON RESULTING IN HIGH
TEMPERATURES 5-7 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL, BUT WELL SHY OF RECORD

LONG TERM
(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1228 AM CDT SUN MAY 31 2026
MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSITIONED OVER NORTH TEXAS
ON MONDAY WITH ANOTHER WARM AND DRY DAY EXPECTED. HIGHS WILL AGAIN
TOP OUT IN THE MID 90S WITH LITTLE CHANCE FOR RAINFALL. THIS RIDGE
WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN A BIT ON TUESDAY AS IT BECOMES PINCHED
BETWEEN TROUGHING TO THE EAST AND AN APPROACHING WEAK UPSTREAM
TROUGH SPREADING OUT OF NORTHWEST MEXICO. AS LOW AND MID LEVEL
FLOW BECOMES MORE EASTERLY, BETTER MOISTURE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK
INTO THE REGION AND WE COULD SEE A FEW SCATTERED STORMS MAINLY IN
OUR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THESE LOW RAIN CHANCES
WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY MAINLY WEST OF I-35 AS THE
AFOREMENTIONED UPPER TROUGH SPREADS OUT OF MEXICO. THIS UPPER
DISTURBANCE WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE OUT OF THE AREA, SLOWLY
TRAVERSING THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. THIS WILL PROMOTE STEADILY INCREASING RAIN
CHANCES THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR A LITTLE
MORE ORGANIZED ACTIVITY AS MID LEVEL FLOW STRENGTHENS AROUND THE
BASE AND EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE TROUGH. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN SCATTERED
WITH POPS INCREASING TO 30-50% BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
