DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1239 PM CDT TUE AUG 4 2026
THE FORECAST IS STAYING ON TRACK FROM THE LAST FEW ISSUANCES.
MID-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS FROM THE EAST AND IS STILL EXPECTED TO TAKE OVER
BY MIDWEEK. EXPECT THIS TO PROMOTE WARM AND MOSTLY RAIN FREE
CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF SEABREEZE CONVECTION. WILL NEED TO MONITOR
THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME SHORT-FUSED HEAT RELATED PRODUCTS. WE
COULD SEE HEAT INDICES UP TO 115 AS EARLY AS TOMORROW WITH DEW
POINTS AROUND THE MID TO UPPER 70S PRESENT THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK.
THIS TRANSLATES TO MODERATE TO MAJOR HEAT STRESS CONDITIONS THOUGH
WE COULD SEE SOME AREAS REACH EXTREME CONDITIONS BY THURSDAY. WE
STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THE PRACTICE OF HEAT SAFETY IN THESE
CONDITIONS. TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS AND REMEMBER TO STAY HYDRATED,
CHECK THOSE BACKSEATS, AND AVOID LONG EXPOSURE IN THESE
TEMPERATURES. FOR MORE INFORMATION BE SURE TO CHECK OUT
WEATHER.GOV/HEATSAFETY.
