DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1251 PM CDT MON JUL 6 2026
THE UPPER TROUGH TO THE NORTHWEST IS SLOW TO MOVE WHILE ENCOUNTERING
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO OUR EAST. THIS UPPER LOW CENTERED GENERALLY
OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI BECOMES CUTOFF TONIGHT AND FINALLY BEGINS
MOVING NORTHEAST BY MID WEEK. WE ARE STILL INFLUENCED BY SOME
INCREASED BUOYANCY LEADING SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE STORM COVERAGE
THROUGH TOMORROW. THERE ARE VERY HIGH PWATS OF 2.0-2.1" WHICH IS
AROUND THE 90TH PERCENTILE BASED ON SOUNDING CLIMATOLOGY. MOISTURE
REMAINS ELEVATED THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK WITH PWATS OF 1.8-2.0".
A RIDGE SLOWLY BUILDS BACK IN BY THE END OF THE WEEK WITH THE AREA
ON THE WESTERN EDGE DOMINATED BY SOUTHERLY MID TO UPPER LEVEL FLOW.
THIS BRINGS RAIN CHANCES TO A MORE NORMAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN WITH
DAILY CHANCES FOR ISOLATED TO LOCALLY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND RESULTANT OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES.
HEAT INDEX VALUES CONTINUE TO BE JUST BELOW THE HEAT ADVISORY
THRESHOLD OF 108, WITH MAXIMUM VALUES OF 100-107 FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA. THE BUILDING RIDGE BY THE END OF THE WEEK WILL INCREASE
TEMPERATURES AND HEAT INDICES CLOSE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED THRESHOLD
OVER THE WEEKEND. THERE CONTINUES BE LITTLE OVERNIGHT RELIEF WITH
LOW TEMPERATURES THROUGH MID NEXT WEEK ONLY REACHING THE LOW TO MID
70S INLAND AND THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 ALONG THE COAST. ANYBODY
OUTDOORS SHOULD DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND TAKE BREAKS IN A/C WHEN
POSSIBLE. SS/97

CONFIDENCE AT THE TAF SITES. HOWEVER, THERE IS INCREASING CONFIDENCE
IN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE
COAST LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. ANY STORMS MAY RESULT IN
BRIEF REDUCTIONS TO MVFR OR LOWER FLIGHT CATEGORIES. /98
