..NEW AVIATION
KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 620 PM CDT MON MAY 11 2026
- HIGHS IN THE 70S TO LOWER 80S MOST OF THE WEEK, WARMING INTO THE
UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S THIS WEEKEND.
- DROUGHT CONTINUES WITH VERY LITTLE RAINFALL EXPECTED THROUGH
THE WEEK.
SHORT TERM
(REST OF TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1123 AM CDT MON MAY 11 2026
LIGHT POST-FRONTAL SHOWERS HAD ENDED BY MID MORNING. A HANDFUL OF
LUCKY LOCATIONS COLLECTED ABOUT ONE HALF INCH OF RAIN, BUT BY FAR
MOST LOCATIONS HAD LESS THAN ONE QUARTER INCH. TOTALS WERE PRETTY
MUCH NADA FOR OUR FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES.
DRY AIR WAS MOVING IN WITH SUNSHINE, NORTH BREEZES, AND PLEASANT
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 70S. DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE DIRECTLY
OVERHEAD TONIGHT WITH CLEAR SKIES, LIGHT WINDS, AND COOL
TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S TO LOWER 50S. MODEL GUIDANCE IS NOT SAYING
MUCH ABOUT FOG, BUT THE PATTERN LOOKS FAVORABLE FOR PATCHY FOG IN
VALLEYS AND ALONG THE PLATEAU, SO I ADDED LATE NIGHT FOG FOR
FAVORED AREAS.
DAYTIME TUESDAY WILL BE A WINNER WITH SUNSHINE, LIGHT WINDS, AND
HIGHS IN THE MID 70S TO AROUND 80.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1123 AM CDT MON MAY 11 2026
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. THE
LATEST NBM SHOWS NO POPS, BUT SOME SHORT RANGE MODELS DO SHOW
SOME PATCHY LOW RAIN CHANCES. IF ANY SHOWERS DO OCCUR, MOISTURE
ALONG THE FRONT WILL BE LIMITED AND RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE VERY
LIGHT. THE MAIN IMPACT FROM THE COLD FRONT WILL BE ANOTHER GENTLE
PUSH OF COOLER AND DRIER AIR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY.
THE MAIN STORY OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD WILL BE THE START OF AN
EARLY SUMMER-LIKE PATTERN THIS WEEKEND. THE BROAD LONGWAVE TROUGH
BRINGING US PLEASANT WEATHER WILL LIFT OUT AS A FAIRLY STRONG
RIDGE PATTERN MOVES IN FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL SET US UP FOR THE
FIRST 90+ DEGREE DAYS OF 2026. ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH
WARMER THAN NORMAL THIS WEEKEND, HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL BE DECENT,
AT LEAST INITIALLY. WE WILL HAVE SOME LOW CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
STORMS, BUT STILL NOTHING MEANINGFUL FOR DROUGHT RELIEF.
THANKFULLY WE CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE LATTER PART OF OUR
TRADITIONAL PEAK SEVERE WEATHER SEASON WITH NO SEVERE STORMS
EXPECTED.
