1155pm CDT Thu April 2 2026

(Tonight through next Thursday) Issued at 1155pm CDT Thu April 2 2026

A ridge remains centered over the Atlantic stretching into the northern gulf coast. A surface low with an associated short wave is moving into the Great Lakes region after having crossed the upper Mississippi Valley. This is keeping a humid south to southeast flow in place while most convection is well removed to the north, minus scattered diurnal convection this past afternoon. Another short wave is moving across the central Rockies.

A lack of upper ridge with amply heating and moisture will allow for scattered diurnal showers and storms for Friday.

By Saturday the short wave over the Rockies will have pushed to the Great Lakes with the associated cold front entering east Texas and NW Louisiana around mid day. The boundary will sink south through the afternoon and night with scattered to numerous showers and storms possible as this occurs. Organized severe weather is not anticipated, however pockets of heavier rain will be possible, and a few isolated severe storms can not be ruled out.

The front will push into the gulf Sunday. Another short wave will traverse the region Sunday into Monday with a weak frontal wave developing in response. Overrunning rain may linger into early Monday.

A cooler air mass will filter in for the first half of next week with a gradual warming and moistening trend there after.

Issued at 1155pm CDT Thu April 2 2026

A light to moderate southeast flow will continue through Saturday as high pressure remains centered well to the east and lower pressure remains over the plains, albeit with a gradual increase as the pressure gradient tightens somewhat. A cold front will move through Saturday night with a strong northeast flow lingering into Tuesday as low pressure develops near south Texas and moves east.

Fire Weather
Issued at 1155pm CDT Thu April 2 2026

Drought conditions are ongoing across the region, however rain chances will gradually increase into Saturday and Sunday. A series of upper disturbances will pass north of the region and a cold front will push through the local area late Saturday night. Rain chances will linger into early Monday with a cooler and drier air mass spilling in for early next week.
