KEY MESSAGES
- SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY REDEVELOP TONIGHT INTO
TUESDAY, WITH THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES ACROSS NORTH TEXAS NEAR A
STALLED FRONT. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS THE MAIN THREAT, BUT
STRONG WIND GUSTS CANNOT BE RULED OUT.
- SEASONABLY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
REST OF THE WORKWEEK.
SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM CDT MON JUN 22 2026
THE MAIN CONCERN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD IS ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH AND EAST TEXAS
LATE THIS EVENING AND INTO TOMORROW MORNING ALONG A WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. THE BEST POTENTIAL RESIDES MAINLY ALONG/EAST OF I-35
AND ALONG/NORTH OF I-20, WHICH IS WHERE THE WEAK BOUNDARY WILL
RESIDE AND INTERACT WITH AN INCREASING NOCTURNAL JET AND FAVORABLE
MOISTURE CONTENT WITH PWATS UPWARDS OF 1.7 TO 1.8 INCHES. TRAINING
AND/OR SLOW-MOVING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY RESULT IN
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING, AND ISOLATED
FLASH FLOODING CANNOT BE RULED OUT. PROBABILISTIC GUIDANCE
INDICATES THERE IS A LOW TO MEDIUM CHANCE (20-40%) OF RAINFALL
AMOUNTS EXCEEDING 5 INCHES LATE TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING,
MAINLY ALONG THE RED RIVER/TEXOMA AREA AND EAST TEXAS.
PROBABILITIES FOR HEAVY RAINFALL ARE LOWER ACROSS THE METROPLEX,
GENERALLY AROUND 10-20%, WITH MOST GUIDANCE INDICATING RAIN
AMOUNTS RANGING FROM 1-1.5 INCHES OR LESS.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES CONTINUE INTO THE MORNING HOURS ACROSS NORTH
TEXAS, BUT SHOULD BEGIN TO TAPER OFF BY MID TO LATE MORNING OR
EARLY AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE, OUR ATTENTION TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL
RETURN TO SEASONABLY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ACROSS ALL OF NORTH
AND CENTRAL TEXAS. HEAT INDICES DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS WILL
RANGE FROM THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 104 DEGREES.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 207 PM CDT MON JUN 22 2026
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER NORTHERN MEXICO WILL BEGIN TO BUILD
EASTWARD, WHICH WILL BRING OUR PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO AN END
ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS BY THURSDAY AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
A WEAKENING COMPLEX MAY SKIRT THE RED RIVER WEDNESDAY MORNING,
BUT THE LATEST SUITE OF GUIDANCE KEEPS ANY ACTIVITY JUST TO THE
NORTH AND EAST OF NORTH TEXAS. THE COMBINATION OF ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND ELEVATED HUMIDITY WILL RESULT IN HOT AFTERNOONS
WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 90S TO AROUND 100 DEGREES AND HEAT INDEX
VALUES NEAR OR EXCEEDING 105 DEGREES. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN
HEAT ADVISORIES HEADING INTO THE END OF THE WEEK AND/OR INTO THE
WEEKEND.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 603 PM CDT MON JUN 22 2026
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IN THE VICINITY OF
A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY NORTH OF THE DFW AREA TERMINALS REMAINS
POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNSET. GIVEN THE LOOK OF THE CU FIELD AND THE
PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT, VCTS WILL BE INCLUDED AT ALL SITES THROUGH
02Z EXCEPT FOR KACT. A LOW CHANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHRA/TSRA INTO THE
DFW AREA TERMINALS LATE TONIGHT EXISTS BUT THE BETTER CHANCE
REMAINS NEAR THE RED RIVER AND INTO EAST TEXAS. A PERIOD OF MVFR
CEILINGS REMAINS EXPECTED FROM AROUND 09Z AT KACT AND 12Z AT THE
REMAINING SITES THROUGH 16Z.
