DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1240 AM CDT SAT JUN 20 2026
OVERCAST SKIES RESIDE FOR US EARLY THIS MORNING WITH OUR WEAK COLD
FRONT DRAPED OVER DEEP EAST TX, TOLEDO BEND COUNTRY AND NE LA.
THIS BOUNDARY SEPARATES THE LOWER 70S DEW POINTS FROM THE RICHER
MID TO UPPER 70S IN RUSTON AND MONROE WITH SHOWERS IN THEIR
VICINITIES. SURFACE WINDS GENERALLY PREVAIL FROM THE NE AS
EXPECTED THIS TIME LAST NIGHT. HOWEVER, THE RECENT QUIET AND
RAINFREE PERIOD FROM TEXARKANA TO SHREVEPORT AND NATCHITOCHES IS
GOING TO SEE WIDESPREAD LIGHT SHOWER ARRIVING SHORTLY FROM E TX,
WHERE COVERAGE IS MOUNTING OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS.
A WEAK VORT CONTINUES DROPPING SOUTH OVER RED RIVER CO. NOW AND
CAN BE SEEN IN THE REFLECTIVITY. THIS LINES UP WELL UNDER THE
WEAKNESS ALOFT AT 587DAM WITH DRIER AIR IN TRAIL. THE LIGHT NW
FLOW WILL BE PUSHING THIS FEATURE TO THE SE OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS.
SO FAR, THE ENHANCEMENTS OF CLOUDS ELEMENTS WITH LIGHTNING HAVE
DIMINISHED ALONG I-20 EAST, BUT WE SEE A RENEWED POTENTIAL AS THE
LOW LEVEL WINDS FROM THE SE FEED THE VORT WITH RICHER MOISTURE
OVER E TX. SO, ISOLATED TO EVENTUALLY SCATTERED TO MAYBE NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORM MAY ACCOMPANY THIS UPPER LOW THROUGH ABOUT NOON.
THE SPC HAS OUR RISK AT GENERAL, HAVING BEEN WORKED OVER EARLY
TODAY AND KEEPING CLOUDS FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON. WE STILL HAVE
A GOOD PWAT AT KSHV AND HOPEFULLY SOME MORE NEEDED RAINFALL FOR
MANY LOCALES. THE WPC HAS MUCH OF OUR AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR E TX AND ALL OF LA AND EXTREME S AR DUE TO
SLOW MOVEMENT PRIMARILY. THE LOW LEVEL SE WINDS WILL WORK DOWN TO
THE SURFACE EARLY TODAY AND FURTHER VEER FLOW FROM THE S AND
EVENTUALLY SW FOR SUNDAY. THIS ALONG WITH MORE SUNSHINE WILL BOOST
THE TEMPERATURES BACK TO AVERAGE FOR FATHER'S DAY WITH THE
OFFICIAL START OF SUMMER RIGHT ON QUEUE. THE SUMMER SOLSTICE
OCCURS AS MOST OF US SLEEP AT 3:24 A.M. EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
IT WILL BE WARM AND HUMID TO BEGIN THE NEW SEASON WITH HEAT INDEX
LOOKING TO BE IN CHECK FOR MOST US HOLDING AROUND THAT 105
THRESHOLD. THE CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL LINGER WITH DIMINISHED
COVERAGE FOR BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY AND AN UPTICK TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY WITH OUR NEXT WEAKER COOL FRONT AND REPEAT UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE COMBO RIDING DOWN ACROSS THE AREA DURING WEDNESDAY.
COVERAGE WILL SLIP AWAY AGAIN TO END THE WEEK, BUT STILL REMAIN
ACTIVE DIURNALLY WITH LOWER 90S. THEN, THE NEXT SET OF SURFACE
AND UPPER LOWS WILL BE RIDING ON A TRACK JUST A LITTLE FARTHER
NORTH WITH LESS COVERAGE SOUTH OF I-20 TO PUT A BOW ON JUNE RAIN
BUCKET TOTALS. THE CPC 8-14 DAY OUTLOOK IS FOR SLIGHTLY ABOVE
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 90S AND NEAR NORMAL RAINFALL AS WE
PREPARE TO CELEBRATE OUR GREAT NATION'S SEMIQUINCENTENNIAL
BIRTHDAY ON JULY 4TH. /24/

TEMPOED IN THUNDER AND REDUCED VSBY MENTION ACROSS THE AREA
TERMINALS TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY EMBEDDED TSRA, WITH THE CONVECTION

LINGER THROUGH A BETTER PART OF THE MORNING, BEFORE EVENTUALLY
SCATTERING OUT ONCE THE CONVECTION DIMINISHES. THE LFK/ELD/MLU
TERMINALS SHOULD BE THE LAST TO CLEAR THE CONVECTION, WITH A
SCATTERED CU FIELD AND RESIDUAL ELEVATED CIGS PERSISTING THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON BEFORE THINNING BY/SHORTLY AFTER 00Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL
