DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 127 PM CDT TUE JUL 7 2026
A WEAK, POSITIVELY-TILTED UPPER TROUGH WITH A CUTOFF LOW OVER THE
MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AND LIFT NORTHEAST
THROUGH THURSDAY, YIELDING A WEAK ZONAL FLOW PATTERN BY LATE
WEEK. SEASONABLY HIGH MOISTURE, WITH PWATS AROUND 2 INCHES, AND
STRONG INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN
THROUGH FRIDAY, WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS EACH
AFTERNOON, FOCUSED MAINLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND ALONG SEA
BREEZE AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. ACTIVITY SHIFTS TO THE COAST AND
OFFSHORE LATE AT NIGHT NEAR THE LAND BREEZE. ANY STORMS WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN, FREQUENT CLOUD-TO-GROUND
LIGHTNING, AND LOCALIZED GUSTY WINDS.
LOOKING AHEAD TO THE WEEKEND, ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE INDICATES INCREASING
MOISTURE AHEAD OF A LARGE-SCALE BACKDOOR COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE
AREA BY THE SUNDAY-MONDAY TIMEFRAME. MOISTURE POOLING AND ENHANCED
FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOUNDARY WITH A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
SHOULD RESULT IN INCREASED STORM COVERAGE DURING THAT PERIOD. TRENDS
WILL BE MONITORED FOR ANY STRONG STORM AND/OR HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN SEASONABLY HOT THROUGH THE PERIOD, WITH
AFTERNOON HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE LOW TO MID 90S. OVERNIGHT
CONDITIONS OFFER LITTLE RELIEF WITH LOWS IN THE MID 70S INLAND AND
UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S ALONG THE COAST. PEAK AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES IN
THE 100-107 RANGE ARE EXPECTED, WITH THE CHANCE OF A FEW LOCALIZED
SPOTS BRIEFLY REACHING 108 DEGREES. A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS
CONTINUES TODAY FOR FLORIDA BEACHES BEFORE DECREASING TO A LOW RISK
FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THE RISK THE INCREASES TO MODERATE ON
FRIDAY FOR ALL AREA BEACHES, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST INTO THE
WEEKEND. JGC/98
