DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1225 AM CDT THU JUN 4 2026
A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND MAYBE AN ISOLATED STORM WILL CONTINUE
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BEFORE SWITCHING TO LAND BASED SHOWERS
AND STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON ONCE SEA BREEZE ACTION FOLLOWED BY
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES STARTS TO PICK UP. DEEP MOIST AIR CONTINUES TO
FUNNEL INTO THE AREA AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FOR MUCH OF THE
WEEK FROM THE GULF SO STORMS WILL BE VERY EFFICIENT RAINMAKERS, SO
A FEW SPOTS COULD SEE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ESPECIALLY
WHERE STRONGER STORMS TRACK OR REPEATED ROUNDS OF STORMS GO
THROUGH. THERE REALLY ISN'T A LOT OF WIND SUPPORT ALOFT SO STORMS
WILL LIKELY FOLLOW ON THE SEABREEZE/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THEY ARE
BEFORE COLLAPSING WHICH CAUSE SOME STALLING IN AREAS. FOR PLACES
THAT DON'T RECEIVE ANY OR LITTLE RAIN FROM SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
SEE HIGH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE NORMAL HIGHS WHICH IS
CURRENTLY FORECAST TO BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S. ADDING THE
HUMIDITY WILL PUT THE HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE MID 90S TO
THREATENING 100S ESPECIALLY THIS WEEKEND.
