DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 131 AM CDT THU AUG 6 2026
MID-LEVEL RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN DRIVER OF OUR
FORECAST FOR THE UPCOMING PERIOD. WHILE A FOUR-CORNERS RIDGE REMAINS
GENERALLY STATIONARY, THE BERMUDA HIGH WILL GRADUALLY STRETCH
EASTWARD ACROSS FLORIDA. A WEAK WAVE LOOKS TO RIDE BELOW THE
SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE BERMUDA HIGH TOWARD THE WEEKEND AND MAKES ITS
WAY TOWARD THE TEXAS COAST. MOISTURE APPEARS LIMITED - SO NO
SUBSTANTIAL RAIN CHANCES EXPECTED. WILL MAINTAIN SOME 10-20% RAIN
CHANCES WITH THE SEABREEZE DAILY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. FOR
THE WEEKEND COULD SEE SLIGHTLY HIGHER (20-25%) POPS AROUND THE
VICTORIA CROSSROADS.
TEMPERATURES REMAIN NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH
HIGHS BETWEEN 100 AND 105 WEST AND IN THE MID AND UPPER 90S EAST.
HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL TOP OUT PRIMARILY BETWEEN 105 AND 110. LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL BE MAINLY IN THE 70S. RH VALUES DO FALL TO NEAR
LOW LEVELS WEST, HOWEVER FUEL MOISTURE ARE NORMAL AND SHOULD LIMIT
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.

PLAINS. THESE LOW RHS COMBINED WITH ERCS IN THE 55-75TH PERCENTILE
RANGE WILL SUPPORT LOCALIZED ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER
THIS REGION EACH DAY, HOWEVER FUEL MOISTURE ARE GENERALLY NEAR
NORMAL, THUS ANY ELEVATED CONDITIONS SHOULD BE LIMITED. WINDS WILL
