...New AVIATION...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 851 PM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025

We have loaded in latest NBM guidance for the rest of tonight
behind our big afternoon push of convection. Patchy fog was added
to the mix mostly, with not much change to 12 hr pop as the upper
low over central TX this evening is only slowly edging this way.
Until we get on the dry side, PoPs are the soup of the day or
night as this case maybe. Much of the area received a good soaking
with no changes or additions to our going flood watch. The HRRR
is showing spotty coverage around the midnight hour by 05Z. The
climate runs through 1 am remaining on CST. So the final number
may go up, but the 2.67 inches in the bucket is already a new
daily record by an inch from back in 2000. The activity in
Cherokee County is moving NE at 25 mph and may expand too, so we
will send the SHV daily total with the overnight climate package.
The HRRR goes on the present another big push early in the day
spreading into the heart of our Four-State area. We have a lot of
water added to our rivers, lakes and bayous. Updated crest info is
up to date and will be monitored through the flood watch time
frame and beyond into the much drier weekend. /24/

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Thursday Night)
Issued at 318 PM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025

Widespread heavy rainfall is underway this afternoon, with active
Flash Flood Warnings in progress. Video from broadcast media has
shown significant flooding over highways in East Texas, with the
heavy rainfall threat now expanding eastward as we head into the
late afternoon and early evening. Louisiana DOT cameras are showing
a similar image across the I-20 corridor in Shreveport with standing
water just west of downtown near the WFO. Mesoanalysis across the
ArkLaTex suggests high PWAT values at or just above 2". As the weak
upper low begins to settle in across Central Texas this afternoon,
and forcing continues to enhance across the region, the slow
progression of the clusters of thunderstorms will only amplify the
local flood threat over the next 24-36 hours.

Hi-res and CAMs this afternoon continue to advertise that following
this initial push of rain, a brief lull may occur before and just
after midnight ahead of a secondary resurgence of heavy rainfall
through the mid to late morning hours of Thursday. The slow
progression of the rainfall combined with PWATs again pushing 2"+
will allow for another round of flood potential through the
afternoon. While the greatest concern will turn to the saturated
soils across East Texas to start, the flood threat will extend north
and east into OK, SW Arkansas and Northwest Louisiana. Given the
afternoon guidance, elected to expand the current Flood Watch north
and east by a few counties and parishes to account for increasing
totals. No changes were made to the expiration time. If trends
continue to support higher totals across the far eastern parishes of
the FA, another expansion will be needed in a future package. Bottom
line, additional heavy rainfall will be the primary concern again
tomorrow.

By Thursday evening, the general consensus among much of the
guidance is that the heavy rainfall should be north and east of
the local region, with the only exception potentially being some
wrap-around showers on the back side of the low across the I-30
corridor through midnight. Hi-res does suggest that some isolated
showers may develop down towards the I-20 corridor through sunrise
Friday, but confidence is mixed on how far south this
materializes. It is to be expected that the influence of the
heavy rainfall through the short term period will impact afternoon
high temperatures Thursday afternoon, where those who see heavy
rainfall will have cooler temps when compared to those who stay
drier longer.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 318 PM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025

By Friday, the aforementioned trough will be strung out across the
south and ArkLaTex vicinity as it gradually lifts northward. By late
Friday afternoon/early evening, the center of the trough will be
across the Ozarks, while deterministic guidance continues to
advertise a swath of PWATs near 2", with daily rainfall chances
into the weekend. Moisture embedded within the NW flow of the
departing trough may support additional rainfall through the
weekend ahead of a potential drying trend late Tuesday into
Wednesday. PoPs through the end of the period will be primarily
confined to the far eastern zones given the change in the synoptic
flow.

The immediate start of the long term period will see the subtle
influence of the present convection trends. That being said,
temperatures will turn to more seasonal by the back half of the
long term, with highs in the low 90`s for many. With warming
temperatures, and higher dew points in play by the end of the long
term, attention may need to turn to heat indices next week.

(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1228 AM CDT Thu Jun 12 2025

For the 12/06Z TAFs, quiet conditions persist at area terminals
at this hour with the exception of KSHV, where a cluster of
thunderstorms is pushing northeast. Similarly to yesterday, a
complex of storms and heavy rainfall will move into east Texas
during the morning, overspreading the ArkLaTex through the course
of the day. Southeast winds will continue through the night at
less than 5 kts, increasing to 5 to 10 kts sustained during the
day with gusts of up to 20 kts possible.

flooding across the local area.
