DISCUSSION

MAINLY RAIN-FREE AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES
WILL BE THE THEME THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD OR THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
A 591-594 DAM SUB-TROPICAL HEAT RIDGE WILL BE THE DRIVER OF OUR DRY
AND TRANQUIL WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
NEXT WEEK, DEEP SOUTH TEXAS WILL SIT ON THE WEST-SOUTHWEST FLANK OF
THE ANOMALOUSLY STRONG HEAT DOME AS IT LOOKS TO SHIFT NORTHWARD OVER
THE MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES REGION, WHICH WILL RESULT IN A WIDESPREAD
HEATWAVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN U.S. WITH THE HEAT RIDGE
DISPLACED TO OUR NORTH, DEEP SOUTH TEXAS WILL BE SPARRED FROM THE
BRUNT OF THE HEAT WITH TEMPERATURES BEING AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR. ADDITIONALLY, THE NORTHWARD DISPLACEMENT OF THE RIDGE COULD
BRING A LOW, YET NON-ZERO PROBABILITY OF SEA BREEZE CONVECTION
(SHOWERS AND STORMS) EACH DAY OR NEARLY EACH DAY WEDNESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY OF NEXT WEEK.
AN ENHANCED PRESSURE GRADIENT NEAR THE SFC WILL RESULT IN BREEZY
CONDITIONS AT TIMES THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. SOUTHERLY WINDS 15-
25 MPH COULD GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH NEARLY EACH DAY. THERE COULD BE AN
INSTANCE OR TWO WHERE WINDS GUST OVER 40 MPH THROUGH MONDAY.
AS HIGHLIGHTED EARLIER, SINCE THE HEAT RIDGE/DOME WILL NOT BE
DIRECTLY OVERHEAD, TEMPS WILL BE SEASONABLE. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPS
WILL RANGE BETWEEN THE MID 90S CLOSE TO THE COAST TO NEAR 100F
DEGREES FAR WEST/INLAND EACH DAY. MEANWHILE, OVERNIGHT LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID 70S ACROSS THE NORTHERN RANCHLANDS
TO THE UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S ALONG THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY EACH
NIGHT. DESPITE THESE SEASONABLE LEVEL TEMPERATURES, THERE WILL
CONTINUE TO BE WIDESPREAD MODERATE (LEVEL 2 OF 4) HEAT RISK ACROSS
THE REGION THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH PEAK HEAT INDICES RANGING
BETWEEN 100-110F DEGREES.
