DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 123 AM CDT WED AUG 12 2026
MID-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE PERIOD LEADING TO WARM AND
MOSTLY RAIN FREE CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF ISOLATED SEABREEZE CONVECTION
EACH DAY. AS WE ENCROACHING ON THE END OF THE WEEK, WE WILL SEE AN
INVERTED TROUGH TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE.
THIS WILL LEAD TO A INCREASE IN MOISTURE REGION, SURGING PWATS
AROUND 2.0 INCHES (75TH PERCENTILE OF CLIMATOLOGY). EXPECT THIS TO
BE ACCOMPANIED WITH SOME ASSOCIATED VORTICITY WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR
SOME AT LEAST LOW RAIN CHANCES (~20%) DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. 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 EXTREME HEAT STRESS CONDITIONS. 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.
