(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 213 AM EDT SUN AUG 9 2026
LITTLE CHANGE IN OVERALL WEATHER IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS
WITH GENERALLY A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN IN PLACE.
RIDGING OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL BEGIN TO BUILD WESTWARD
ACROSS THE GULF THROUGH THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK. THE FLOW WILL BECOME
MORE SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWESTERLY TODAY AND GENERALLY REMAIN THAT WAY
FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE ON THE DECREASE DOWN TO
20-40% EACH DAY. WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE NEAR THE COAST IN THE MORNINGS, THEN MOVE INLAND DURING THE
AFTERNOON. A COUPLE STORMS EACH DAY COULD BECOME STRONG WITH GUSTY
WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.
WITH RIDGING BUILDING OVERHEAD, TEMPERATURES WILL HEAT UP WITH HIGHS
EACH DAY IN THE MID 90S. WE SHOULD MIX OUT ENOUGH EACH AFTERNOON TO
MOSTLY STAY BELOW HEAT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS (108+ HEAT INDEX). BUT,
TUESDAY AND LATE IN THE WEEK HAVE THE BETTER CHANCES FOR SOME
DANGEROUS HEAT INDEX VALUES UP TO 110. CHANCES OVERALL ARE LOW (10-
30%) OF REACHING HEAT ADVISORY LEVELS EACH DAY.
