DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1117 AM CDT SAT JUN 27 2026
HOT AND DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS GENERALLY PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA
THIS WEEKEND AS UPPER RIDGING REMAINS DOMINANT OVERHEAD.
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90'S FOR
MOST LOCATIONS, WITH HEAT INDICES 100 TO 105 RANGE. A COUPLE LUCKY
SPOTS MIGHT MANAGE AN AFTERNOON STORM, MAINLY NEARER THE COAST
TODAY AND TOMORROW, BUT A VAST MAJORITY OF FOLKS WILL REMAIN DRY
THIS WEEKEND.
AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK, WE GRADUALLY SEE A SLIGHT SHIFT IN
UPPER RIDGING TO BE CENTERED NORTH OF THE AREA, PUTTING US WITHIN
AN EASTERLY FLOW REGIME ALOFT BY TUESDAY. THIS WILL OPEN UP THE
POTENTIAL FOR SOME SHORTWAVES TO ROUND THE BASE OF THE RIDGE AND
BRING SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED RAIN CHANCES TO THE AREA TUESDAY
INTO LATE WEEK. LOTS OF DETAILS TO IRON OUT OF THE EVOLUTION OF
THESE SHORTWAVES, BUT THE FIRST NOTEWORTHY ONE TRANSITS THE REGION
TUESDAY ALLOWING FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. WHILE SHEAR WILL BE FAIRLY WEAK,
SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR ALOFT OWING TO THE NEARBY RIDGE MAY HELP SET
THE STAGE FOR STORMS TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR PRODUCING STRONG TO
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. DETAILS BECOME MURKY AFTER TUESDAY ON THE
PROGRESSION OF UPPER AND LOWER LEVEL FEATURES OFF THE SOUTHEAST
COAST ROUNDING THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE. GIVEN DEEP EASTERLY
FLOW IT STANDS TO REASON WE'LL CONTINUE TO SEE AN INFLUX OF
TROPICAL MOISTURE AND INCREASED RAIN CHANCES THROUGH MID TO LATE
WEEK. WE WILL LIKELY SEE TEMPERATURES COOL SOMEWHAT IN RESPONSE TO
THE INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND RAIN, WITH HIGHS MIDWEEK IN THE
UPPER 80'S TO LOWER 90'S WHILE OVERNIGHT LOWS STAY STEADY IN THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE 70'S. HEAT INDICES WILL LIKELY REMAIN ON THE WARM
SIDE IN THE 100 TO 107 RANGE ANY GIVEN DAY NEXT WEEK JUST SHY OF
HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA. A LOW RISK OF RIP CURRENTS CONTINUES
THROUGH NEXT WEEK. MM/25
