KEY MESSAGES
ISSUED AT 159 PM CDT THU AUG 6 2026
- MODERATE TO MAJOR RISK OF HEAT-RELATED IMPACTS THROUGH THE WEEK,
WITH PEAK HEAT INDICES 105 TO 110, AND HIGH TO EXTREME WBGT
VALUES.
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 159 PM CDT THU AUG 6 2026
SPOTTY SHOWERS HAVE BEEN POPPING UP IN ASSOCIATION WITH A SURFACE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE SEABREEZE. THESE WILL
CONTINUE TO BE ISOLATED IN NATURE AND TAPER OFF THIS EVENING. MID-
LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE PERIOD LEADING TO WARM AND
MOSTLY RAIN FREE CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF ISOLATED SEABREEZE CONVECTION
EACH DAY. THIS IS THANKS TO SOME MIDLEVEL ENERGY RIDING THE
PERIPHERY OF RIDGE AS IT BUILDS FROM THE EAST. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THE NEED FOR SOME SHORT- FUSED HEAT RELATED PRODUCTS. WE
COULD SEE HEAT INDICES UP TO 115 AT TIMES 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 WEDNESDAY. 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.
