DISCUSSION
(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 130 AM CDT MON SEP 7 2026
A CLOUD DECK IS MOVING OVERHEAD FROM STORMS IN MS THIS AFTERNOON.
THESE CLOUDS COMBINED WITH A SLIGHTLY MORE ELEVATED BREEZE OVER
THE PBL WILL HELP TO LIMIT FOG DEVELOPMENT THIS MORNING AS
COMPARED TO THIS TIME LAST NIGHT. AREAS OF PATCHY FOG WILL DEVELOP
BY SUNRISE, BUT DENSE VISIBILITIES ARE NOT ANTICIPATED.
UPPER HIGH PRESSURE IS CENTERED IN NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS WITH
RIDGING EXPANDING OUT INTO THE NORTHWEST GULF. THE HIGH IS SET TO
MEANDER NORTH OF LOUISIANA TODAY, WITH A WANING HOLD OF THE
PATTERN. THE DECREASE IN SUBSIDENCE SHOULD ALLOW FOR AT LEAST A
SCATTERED COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS AFTERNOON.
FOR THOSE WITH OUTDOOR HOLIDAY PLANS, PLAN ACCORDINGLY FOR
SUMMERTIME HEAT AND AFTERNOON STORMS. LIGHTNING CAN STRIKE 10 TO
15 MILES OR FURTHER FROM STORMS. PREPARE TO MOVE PLANS INDOORS
WHEN STORMS DEVELOP. HEAT INDICES WILL RANGE FROM 108 TO 110F AND
A HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 7 PM.
AN INVERTED TROF WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTH GULF FROM EAST TO WEST
ON TUESDAY. THE WEAKNESS COMBINED WITH TROPICAL MOISTURE IN THE
REGION SHOULD ALLOW FOR A RATHER BUSY CONVECTIVE DAY WITH NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY. THE INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AND
RAIN COOLING SHOULD KEEP TEMPS AND HEAT INDICES IN CHECK.
