.SHORT TERM...
(Friday through Saturday)
Issued at 320 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024

The weather story and hazard outlooks remain largely unchanged from 
recent forecasts as of this writing. As a series of upper level lows 
eject east from the Intermountain West and veer along a 
northeasterly track up the Great Plains and towards the Great Lakes, 
this persistent unsettled pattern will result in several days worth 
of showers and storms bringing rainfall to much of the ArkLaTex, and 
some chances of severe weather, particularly to our northwestern 
half. 

Showers have already begun to move into our southeastern Oklahoma 
zones as of the 08Z hour, and will increase in coverage and 
intensity while gradually trekking south and east after daybreak 
today. Showers and storms will impact all but the southeasternmost 
reaches of the ArkLaTex through this afternoon, receding in 
coverage back to the north of the I-30 corridor overnight into 
Saturday. 

The severe weather outlook today remains much the same as previous 
iterations, with a Slight Risk covering our northwestern zones from 
Tyler up to Texarkana and along I-30, extending just far enough 
south to clip the northwestern corner of Louisiana. The chief modes 
of severe weather expected will be damaging wind and especially 
large hail, but a tornado or two cannot be ruled out entirely. 
Simultaneously, these same zones are included in a slight risk of 
excessive rainfall leading to flash flooding, particularly in areas 
of training torrential rainfall. 1-2 inches of accumulation today 
look easily possible, particularly north of I-30. 

Today's highs will range from the middle 70s northwest to middle 80s 
southeast, followed by a night of lows in the upper 60s to near 70 
degrees, and a warmer Saturday as more sites reach the mid to upper 
80s. 

Saturday continues to look like the "in-between" day of this 
stretch, where we will not see a defined line of storms associated 
with one of the aforementioned lows move into the region. 
Nevertheless, conditions will remain ripe for renewed showers and 
storms across the northern half of the Four State Region through the 
course of the day, accompanied by a Marginal Risk for severe weather 
and a sliver of Slight Risk on our northwestern corner, accompanied 
by a similar distribution of ERO risks. All modes of severe weather 
will again be possible, but at reduced confidence compared to Friday 
and Sunday.
