MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE AS THIS OCCURS AND RESULTS IN
WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. SLOW STORM MOTIONS AND POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING STORMS MAY
LEAD TO HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING, ESPECIALLY
ACROSS NW AR. POOR WIND SHEAR WILL KEEP SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL
VERY LOW, BUT LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS MAY DEVELOP UNDER THE STRONGER
SHOWERS/STORMS. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER

LONG TERM
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1142 PM CDT MON MAY 25 2026
AS THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LOW DRIFTS NORTH, ELONGATED UPPER
LEVEL TROUGHING WILL EXPAND ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND PIVOT
INTO THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. THE TROUGH MOVES NORTHEASTWARD LATE
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AND AIDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THUNDERSTORMS OVER N TX/W OK. THIS ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY MOVE
TOWARD THE FA AND RAIN CHANCES INCREASE FROM SW TO NE LATE TUESDAY
NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. GUIDANCE THEN SUGGESTS A LOW
LEVEL CYCLONE WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY FOR SEVERAL DAYS WITH
DAILY RAIN/STORM CHANCES PERSISTING INTO THIS WEEKEND. THE EXACT
PROGRESSION OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AND FOCUS FOR HEAVIEST RAINS
WILL LIKELY BE DRIVEN BY SUBTLE MESOSCALE FEATURES THROUGH LATE
WEEK. A PATTERN CHANGE FEATURING INCREASED RIDGING MAY ALLOW FOR
DRIER CONDITIONS AS WE MOVE INTO EARLY JUNE, BUT MODEL SOLUTIONS
VARY AT THIS RANGE, WITH GENERALLY WEAK FLOW REMAINING IN PLACE.
THE NBM MAINTAINS AT LEAST LOW RAIN AND THUNDER CHANCES THROUGH
NEXT MONDAY, WHICH SEEMS APPROPRIATE FOR NOW.
WHILE ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER IS UNLIKELY THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD, EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WILL BE A CONCERN AS PWATS CLIMB TO
NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL MAXIMUMS. FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL IS LIKELY TO
BE MAXIMIZED DURING THE WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY TIMEFRAME. FOR THE MOST
PART, TEMPERATURES STAY WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF 80 THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD, BUT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY MAY TEND TO BE RELATIVELY
COOLER DUE TO INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION.
