SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 155 PM CDT THU JUN 11 2026
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON, TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE LOW 90S WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S, WHICH PUTS HEAT INDICES OVER 100.
SKIES WERE MOSTLY SUNNY WITH BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 15-20 MPH
GUSTING TO NEAR 30. THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE THAT HAS RESULTED IN HOT
AND HUMID CONDITIONS OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS IS FLATTENING OUT DUE TO
BROAD-SCALE TROUGHING OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL US. THIS TROUGH WILL
HELP PUSH A SURFACE COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD TOWARD NORTH TEXAS
OVERNIGHT BEFORE STALLING OUT NEAR THE RED RIVER. THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT OVERNIGHT IN OKLAHOMA AND DRIFT
INTO NORTH TEXAS BY SUNRISE. HI-RES MODELS SHOW THESE STORMS SLOWLY
DIMINISHING THROUGH MIDDAY WITH VERY LOW CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER.
PWAT VALUES ALONG AND NEAR THE FRONT ARE AROUND 2.25 INCHES, SO SOME
OF THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL FOR AREAS NORTH
OF US-380/DENTON. EVEN AFTER STORMS DISSIPATE, THEY MIGHT LEAVE
BEHIND SOME OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FOR SCATTERED AFTERNOON STORMS TO
DEVELOP FROM THE METROPLEX NORTHWARD. OVERALL SEVERE CHANCES LOOK
LOW FOR THIS ACTIVITY, BUT THERE IS A LOW (<15%) CHANCE THAT STORMS
COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS.
OUTSIDE OF RAIN CHANCES, HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN
AGAIN FOR FRIDAY AS A WARM AND MUGGY AIRMASS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE
REGION. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOW TO 90S WITH DEWPOINTS
IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. THIS WOULD PUT HEAT INDICES UP TO AROUND 103.
HOWEVER, THE X FACTOR WILL BE HOW MUCH LINGERING CLOUD COVER IS
LEFTOVER FROM MORNING CONVECTION WHICH WOULD LIMIT HIGH TEMPERATURES
A BIT. DUE TO THIS UNCERTAINTY, WE'LL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING A HEAT
ADVISORY AT THIS TIME.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 155 PM CDT THU JUN 11 2026
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL DISSIPATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AND
ALLOW SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW FROM THE GULF TO RESUME ACROSS NORTH
TEXAS. THE HEAT WILL CONTINUE AS HIGH TEMPERATURES LOOK TO REACH THE
UPPER 90S WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 70S. THIS WOULD PUSH HEAT
INDICES TO BETWEEN 101-105, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE METROPLEX. ANYONE
CONDUCTING OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES SHOULD TAKE PROPER PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID HEAT EXHAUSTION BY STAYING HYDRATED AND TAKING FREQUENT
BREAKS IN THE SHADE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
THE PATTERN LOOKS TO CHANGE AGAIN FOR SUNDAY AS A TROUGH AXIS WILL
MOVE TO THE GREAT LAKES AND FLATTEN THE RIDGE LOCATED ACROSS SOUTH
TEXAS AND THE WESTERN GULF. THE UPPER-LEVEL FLOW WILL GENERALLY BE
FROM THE NORTHWEST WITH A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES. MODELS SHOW
ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHING NORTH TEXAS BY SUNDAY MORNING WHICH
SHOULD INCREASE CHANCES FOR RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS MAY
DEVELOP ALONG THE RED RIVER IN THE MORNING AND SLOWLY PUSH SOUTHWARD
THROUGH THE DAY, AFFECTING AREAS MAINLY FROM THE METROPLEX
NORTHWARD. EVEN IF STORMS WEAKEN OR DISSIPATE, A SECOND ROUND COULD
DEVELOP BY THE AFTERNOON. SEVERE CHANCES LOOK LOW AT THIS TIME BUT
LOCALIZED FLOODING COULD BECOME AN ISSUE WITH ANY SLOW-MOVING STORMS
OR AREAS THAT SEE MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF RAIN.
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS SHOULD REMAIN IN A PREDOMINANTLY NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT PATTERN FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
FROM SUNDAY SHOULD CONTINUE FURTHER SOUTHWARD ON MONDAY AND RESULT
IN CONTINUED RAIN CHANCES INTO TUESDAY FOR NORTH TEXAS. THE
PREVALENCE OF RAIN AND NORTHERLY WINDS SHOULD HOLD TEMPERATURES IN
THE MID TO UPPER 80S FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HOWEVER, ON WEDNESDAY,
CONDITIONS LOOK TO DRY UP AGAIN BUT THE RETURN OF SOUTHERLY SURFACE
FLOW SHOULD ALLOW HIGH TEMPERATURES TO PUSH BACK INTO THE MID 90S.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1231 PM CDT THU JUN 11 2026
MVFR CEILINGS HAVE SLOWLY GIVEN WAY TO SCATTERED CLOUDS ABOVE
3000FT. CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN VFR UNTIL AFTER 06Z, WHEN MVFR
CEILINGS SHOULD START TO RE-DEVELOP FROM THE SOUTH. BREEZY
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL ALSO CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH
GUSTS OVER 25KT BUT SHOULD DECREASE AFTER 00Z. THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO NORTH TEXAS AROUND THE RED RIVER LATE
TONIGHT, BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW THAT THIS ACTIVITY WILL REACH ANY
TAF SITES. THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE RE-EVALUATED
IN LATER TAF PACKAGES.
