SHORT TERM
(THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1135 PM CDT MON JUL 6 2026
MID LEVEL LOW PRESSURE CENTER WHICH HELPED FOSTER THE STORMS
MONDAY AFTERNOON IS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER NORTH CENTRAL AR AND
WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MOVE EAST AWAY FROM THE LOCAL REGION.
COVERAGE OF ANY AFTERNOON STORMS ON TUESDAY IS EXPECTED TO BE LESS
AND PRIMARILY FOCUSED FROM SE OK THROUGH NW AR ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN. TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER DEWPOINTS
LIKELY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1135 PM CDT MON JUL 6 2026
ISOLATED AFTERNOON STORMS REMAIN FAVORED ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN
ON WEDNESDAY WITH THERMAL PROFILES WARMING AS RIDGING ALOFT
GRADUALLY EXPANDS EASTWARD. THURSDAY IS FORECAST TO BE THE WARMEST
DAY OF THE WEEK AS LOW LEVELS VEER SLIGHTLY WITH THE PASSAGE OF A
STRONGER WAVE TO OUR NORTH. THIS WAVE MAY USHER A WEAK COLD FRONT
SOUTHWARD INTO THE AREA BY FRIDAY BUT THIS REMAINS UNCERTAIN. A
MORE PROBABLE OUTCOME IS THAT THE UPPER RIDGE IS TEMPORARILY WEAKENED
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE WAVE AND CONDITIONS BECOME SLIGHTLY MORE
SUPPORTIVE OF DIURNAL SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WOULD ALSO FAVOR NEARER SEASONAL NORMALS
WITHIN THIS PATTERN. A MORE DOMINANT UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES TO BE
SHOWN BY EARLY NEXT WEEK WHICH WOULD FAVOR A DRIER AND HOTTER
PATTERN.
