DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 148 PM CDT THU AUG 13 2026
MID-LEVEL RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE PERIOD LEADING TO
WARM AND MOSTLY RAIN FREE CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF SPARSE SEABREEZE
CONVECTION EACH DAY. EARLY FRIDAY MORNING, WE WILL SEE A MID-LEVEL
SHORTWAVE TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE
BEGINNING TO HEAD ONSHORE. THIS WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN THE
MOISTURE REGIME, SURGING PWATS AROUND 2.0 INCHES ALONG THE MID-UPPER
COASTLINE OF THE CWA, WITH 2.1" PWAT VALUES UP TOWARDS THE VICTORIA
CROSSROADS. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL BRING PVA TO THE AREA RESULTING IN
SMALL SCALE LIFT WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR LOW RAIN CHANCES (20-30%)
DURING THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON ON FRIDAY.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE NEED FOR SHORT-FUSED HEAT RELATED
PRODUCTS. WE COULD SEE PEAK HEAT INDICES OF 110 TO 115 WITH DEW
POINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS TRANSLATES
TO MODERATE TO EXTREME HEATRISK CONDITIONS. AN ADDITIONAL RISK FOR
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER EXISTS OVER THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK DUE TO LOW RH (25-30%) AND SUSTAINED 20MPH WINDS GUSTING
TO 25MPH. 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.
