DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 212 PM CDT FRI SEP 11 2026
DEEP MOISTURE HAS SHIFTED SUBSTANTIALLY AS EXPECTED AND HAS ACTUALLY
LEFT US WITH LITTLE TO NO SHOWER ACTIVITY THIS MORNING. ANY SEA
BREEZE ACTIVITY WILL BE VERY LIMITED TODAY AS SATELLITE ESTIMATED
PWAT VALUES ARE AT OR BELOW NORMAL FOR MOST OF THE AREA. MOISTURE
REMAINS LOW THROUGH SATURDAY AND ONLY A NOTCH BETTER FOR SUNDAY -
THIS IS A CHANGE FROM YESTERDAY WHEN GUIDANCE HAD SUGGESTED MORE OF
A MOISTURE PUSH COMING INTO THE REGION. HAVE ONLY SILENT 10 POPS
WITH THE SEA BREEZE FOR SUNDAY. BY MONDAY, HIGH PRESSURE IS FULLY IN
CONTROL, THUS POPS REMAIN QUITE LOW. MOISTURE DOES INCREASE THOUGH,
SO AN ISOLATED SEA BREEZE SHOWER/STORM IS POSSIBLE. THE NEXT CHANCE
FOR MORE THAN A LOW CHANCE WILL BE THURSDAY AS A WAVE OF MOISTURE
COMES IN AND A SHORT WAVE ROTATES AROUND AT THE SAME TIME. AT THIS
TIME A MODERATE CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS AT THAT TIME.
HIGH TEMPERATURES REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL AT LEAST THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK WITH HEAT INDEX AS RIDGING BUILDS. HEAT INDEX VALUES ABOVE
110 WILL BE LIKELY AGAIN ESPECIALLY EAST ON SATURDAY, THUS ANOTHER
HEAT ADVISORY IS LIKELY. WE'LL REMAIN BORDERLINE ON HEAT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH LOWER CHANCES INTO NEXT WEEK.
BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. THIS, COMBINED WITH LOW RH
VALUES OVER THE BRUSH COUNTRY MAY RESULT IN ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS OVER THAT REGION.
