A LARGE AND STRONG 500 HPA ANTICYCLONE WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF UNITED STATES FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THIS
WILL RESULT IN HOT HIGHS, WARM LOWS, AND PRIMARILY DRY
CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE
WEEKEND. THE HEAT INDEX MAY REACH AROUND 105F ACROSS THE EASTERN
ZONES FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL AFTERNOONS. AS A RESULT, HAVE ISSUED
A HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE EASTERN ZONES THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEKEND. NEIGHBORS WANTED TO KEEP THE PRODUCT AS HEAT ADVISORY
AND NOT CHANGE IT TO A HEAT WARNING, SO THIS IS WHY THAT
PRODUCT WAS ISSUED AS SUCH. THE NBM IS SHOWING SOME LOW POPS
ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES FRIDAY EVENING. HERE, AN ISOLATED STORM
CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE SFC TROF.
OTHERWISE, THE REST OF THE FA WILL SEE A DRY FORECAST
CONTINUING. HIGHS WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS. HOT HIGHS, WITH VALUES PEAKING FROM THE UPPER 90S TO LOW
100S ARE EXPECTED. WARM LOWS ARE EXPECTED WITH VALUES ONLY
BOTTOMING OUT MAINLY IN THE 70S. THE LONG RANGE MODELS AND THEIR
ENSEMBLE COUNTERPARTS ARE NOT OFFERING MUCH HOPE FOR A WEATHER
PATTERN CHANGE ANYTIME SOON. IT LOOKS LIKE THE STRONG RIDGE IS
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL IN SEVERAL ENSEMBLE RUNS.
AVIATION /18 TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1111 AM CDT THU SEP 3 2026
