DISCUSSION
(TONIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1028 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2026
LITTLE VARIATION IN THE FORECAST IS EXPECTED FROM THIS SUITE. HIGH
PRESSURE SITUATED OVERHEAD WILL COMBINE WITH A WEAK INFLUX OF
SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR TO AID IN MIXED CONDITIONS OVER THE FINAL WORK
DAYS OF THE WEEK. THIS SHALL SERVE TO NIL RAIN CHANCES.
WHILE CONDITIONS WILL BE DRY WITH SLOWLY FALLING HUMIDITY DURING
PEAK HEATING, MAXIMUM HEAT INDICES IN THE 100 TO 105 F RANGE CAN
STILL BE ANTICIPATED OVER COMING DAYS. NOT LOOKING AT HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA AT THIS TIME, BUT ALLOW ME TO STRESS *HEAT
STRESS*. WORKING OUTDOORS DAY IN AND OUT, PARTICULARLY AS WE SEE
EVAPORATION OF THE EXCESSIVE GROUND MOISTURE, CAN CAUSE THE BODY
UNDUE HEAT STRESS AND MAKE YOU MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT ILLNESS.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO ABIDE BY HOT WEATHER PRACTICES.
UPPER HIGH PRESSURE DOES APPEAR TO BACK OFF BEYOND THE SHORT TERM
FORECAST (THIS IS PRIMARILY FOR THE START OF NEXT WEEK, WAAAAAY
OUT THERE IN TIME) WHICH MAY BRING ABOUT THE RETURN OF SOME LOWER
END RAIN CHANCES, BUT SFC HIGH WILL REMAIN. THIS SHOULD STILL
STAUNCH MOST RAIN CHANCES, BUT IN THE EVENT THERE IS A WAVERING OF
SFC HIGH, A FEW SHOWERS MAY SQUEAK OUT.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 609 AM CDT THU JUN 25 2026
AREAS OF PATCHY FOG WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO,
GIVING WAY TO VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. LIGHT SW TO S WINDS AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL
SITES TODAY INTO TONIGHT.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 1028 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2026
RAIN CHANCES WILL PREVAIL NEAR ZERO THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK
AS HIGH PRESSURE MEANDERS OVERHEAD. WINDS WILL VARY FROM WEST TO
EAST AS A PROLONGED PRESSURE GRADIENT SETS UP AND OFFERS DAILY
INCREASED SEAS OVER WESTERN WATERS TO CALM SEAS NEAR CENTRAL
LOUISIANA COASTAL WATERS. SEAS WILL LARGELY STAY LOW AS WINDS ARE
ONLY ELEVATED FOR A SHORT TIME EACH DAY.
FIRE WEATHER
ISSUED AT 1028 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2026
WHILE HUMIDITY DOES REMAIN HIGH, HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD WILL
RESULT IN DRY MIXED CONDITIONS AND FALLING DEWPOINTS DURING
DAYTIME HOURS. THIS WILL RESULT IN DAYTIME RH MINIMUMS IN THE 40
TO 50 PERCENT RANGE EACH DAY THROUGH FRIDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE
LESS THAN 10 PERCENT THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
