.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1237 PM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026

Scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon will continue
into the early evening, coming to an end by late this evening. Some
strong to severe thunderstorms remain possible, as well as heavy
rains leading to flooding. The upper level trough responsible for
this convection will lift north and east, taking significant
rainfall chances with it and leaving the ArkLaTex an opportunity to
dry out going into the new work week. Mild and muggy lows in the 70s
are expected throughout, with skies remaining mostly cloudy
overnight.

A few afternoon thunderstorms will be possible across our Louisiana
parishes tomorrow, with otherwise clearing skies and increasing
sunshine. With the departure of the upper level trough, ridging will
build in its place, suppressing widespread convective development
and favoring increasing temperatures. Highs will trend into the lower
90s tomorrow and Tuesday, remaining there through the course of the
extended forecast period. Combined with dew points remaining high
into the afternoon hours, this may result in heat indices
approaching and exceeding 100 degrees each afternoon, posing a
potential hazard to sensitive groups.

A few isolated sea breeze driven thunderstorms can`t be ruled out
across our southernmost counties and parishes wednesday and Thursday
afternoons, but rainfall will otherwise not make a return until an
upper level trough to our north sweeps a frontal boundary south
across the Plains, kicking up storms which look to impact our
northern zones late Thursday night into Friday morning, with this
warm and unsettled pattern continuing into next weekend.
