DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 201 PM CDT FRI AUG 7 2026
MID-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BE THE DOMINANT FEATURE THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD, WITH WARM AND MOSTLY RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS
EXPECTED. SEABREEZE CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOONS,
WITH THE BEST CHANCES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS DEEP MOISTURE (PWAT
VALUES ~2.1" ALONG THE COAST) INTERACTS WITH AN AREA OF VORTICITY
RIDING AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN HOT, WITH HIGHS IN THE 90S ALONG THE COAST
TO AROUND 105 OVER THE BRUSH COUNTRY. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THERE
WILL BE A BIT MORE CLOUD COVER THIS WEEKEND, KEEPING THE HEAT INDEX
GENERALLY BELOW 110, THOUGH ISOLATED LOCATIONS COULD SEE HEAT INDEX
VALUES UP TO 112. BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, EXPECT HEAT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS TO RETURN.
