New AVIATION
KEY MESSAGES
- Flow off the Gulf will continue a fetch of warm moist air, and possible near-record high temps will continue into at least Saturday.
- Extensive frontal system sags into the ArkLaTex on SAT and SUN bringing with it widespread showers and thunderstorms.
- Slight Risk for severe and flooding weather SAT afternoon and overnight. Risk decreases SUN with only a Marginal Risk (1 of 4) for flooding rainfall.

Issued at 604 PM CST Fri Mar 6 2026
Today has seen the start of an active weather period for the region. High pressure ridge over the northeast Gulf, feeling the influence from longwave trof eclipsing the western US, has started eroding east. As a result, scattered showers have developed in southeast TX and cenLA. Not anticipating much to come of these and any lingering convection will dissipate shortly after 00z. Even with the eastward move of the ridge, the pressure gradient bwn ridge and strong trof has been ever tightening. Gusty southeast winds will back off with sundown, but a southerly breeze will prevail overnight. Winds will remain gusty off the sfc overnight and into Saturday AM, though, due to interactions from approaching trof. These strong gusts shouldn't reach the sfc until after sunrise Saturday when daytime heating can allow the jet to mix all the way to the surface.
The strongest gusts this forecast period, away from any storms, will be from roughly 13 to 20z. Wind speeds will diminish after 18z as the responsible jet leaves the region quickly.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing or will rapidly develop in east Texas at sunrise while the jet is still present. These storms will be far from directly impacting terminals, but the widespread coverage along the front will impact long haul routes.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop over terminals from mid day onward. Greatest hazards with strong storms will be very large hail, heavy downpours and damaging wind gusts.
