SHORT TERM

It's another day in this soupy air mass you could swim in. There's ample moisture around the area with the remnants of a morning MCV sparking some storms and heavy rain in the southwestern counties.
The rain rates have been impressive at time and that has lead to some localized ponding. North of the remnant MCV, a surface boundary is draped across I-40. This will likely spark more showers and storms this afternoon. With PWAT values in the 1.7-1.9" range and slow storm motions, some localized flood will be possible this afternoon. Shower and storm coverage will decrease this evening and areas of fog could develop again after midnight through early Saturday morning.
The broad trough that has assisted in the active pattern we've seen this week will pull east overnight with upper ridging building in on Saturday. We don't get rid of all of the rain chances on Saturday as the moisture will remain in place.
Scattered storms will develop in the afternoon but should not be quite as widespread.
LONG TERM
(Saturday Night through next Friday)
Issued at 1123 AM CDT Fri Jul 26 2024
The upper ridging won't last long as a trough organizes over the southern plains on Saturday and moves toward our area on Sunday.
Widespread showers and storms are likely on Sunday. Once again, heavy rain will be likely with showers and storms as PWAT values increase to possibly over 2". Storm motions will be quicker on Sunday, but rain rates will be high enough to potentially cause some localized flooding.
A large upper high will build over Texas on Monday and will expand eastward toward our area by midweek. With that, temperatures will increase with highs getting into the mid 90s for the first time in a couple weeks. The air mass will remain humid which will have a two effects. First, afternoon storm chances will remain in the forecast. Second, heat index values could climb to the 105-110 range by Wednesday afternoon for the remainder of the work week.
