DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1221 PM CDT TUE JUL 22 2025
WITH SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IN THE AREA, TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN ON THE HOT SIDE AND RAIN CHANCES VERY LOW-NIL THE NEXT
FEW DAYS. HEAT INDEX/STRESS VALUES MAY FLIRT WITH ADVISORY CRITERIA,
BUT SUSPECT WE MIGHT SEE JUST ENOUGH DAYTIME DRY AIR MIXING
WHEREAS WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SKIRT OUT OF HAVING TO PUSH ONE OUT.
BUT REGARDLESS, HEAT SAFETY PROTOCOLS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED IF
PLANNING TO WORK/PLAY OUTDOORS.
LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, WE SHOULD SEE A MID-UPPER INVERTED
TROF, AND MAYBE A WEAK SURFACE REFLECTION, MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE
REGION FROM THE EAST. THIS WILL BRING A RETURN TO THE SOUPY 2.4"
PW'S, INCREASED CLOUDINESS, SLIGHTLY LOWER DAYTIME TEMPS, AND
HIGHER CHANCES OF RAIN ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA INTO SATURDAY.
LATE SATURDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, A STRENGTHENING H5 RIDGE
TAKES SHAPE OVER THE PLAINS. THOUGH HEIGHTS WILL BUILD LOCALLY,
WE'LL STILL BE IN THE EASTERLIES ON ITS SOUTHERN PERIPHERY. AND
WITH SOME RESIDUAL 1.7-2.1" PW'S REMAINING IN THE VICINITY,
SUSPECT WE'LL SEE A "TYPICAL" SUMMERTIME DIURNALLY DRIVEN PRECIP
PATTERN WITH SOME ISOLATED-SCATTERED SHRA/TSTMS EACH DAY THE
CLOSER ONE GETS TO THE COAST. 47
