NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST. HOT WEATHER AND DAILY RAIN CHANCES
CAN STILL BE EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. RIDGING IS CURRENTLY
SITUATED OVER THE FOUR CORNERS/OFF THE EAST COAST. A WEAKNESS
BETWEEN BOTH HAS RESULTED IN LOWER HEIGHTS & SUBSIDENCE, WHICH
SHOULD ALLOW FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS EACH DAY INTO NEXT
WEEK. EXPECT MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY TO OCCUR DURING THE DAYTIME ALONG
THE SEA BREEZE, GENERALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN 2/3RDS OF OUR CWA.
LOWERING HEIGHTS AND THE ARRIVAL OF DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL
BRING THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE TIME FRAME WILL STILL BE FAIRLY HOT,
ESPECIALLY IN SPOTS THAT DON'T RECEIVE RAINFALL, WITH HIGHS IN THE
90S AND HEAT INDICIES IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS. WOULD BE WORTH
PRACTICING HEAT SAFETY STILL, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE SPENDING EXTENDED
TIME OUTDOORS. PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP IN SPOTS DURING THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS.
AROUND TUESDAY, 850MB TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO RISE AGAIN AS RIDGING
BUILDS ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN GULF. AFTERWARDS, TEMPERATURES AND
HEAT INDICIES SLOWLY RISE WHILE RAIN CHANCES DECREASE.

VFR TO LOCAL MVFR CONDITIONS DUE TO LOW CEILINGS WILL PREVAIL EARLY
THIS MORNING ACROSS THE TERMINALS. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED -SHRA ARE
POSSIBLE NEAR KGLS AND KHOU TERMINALS THROUGH 13-14Z. THE BEST
CHANCES FOR -SHRA/TSRA WILL ARRIVE THIS AFTERNOON, THOUGH PROB30 IS
MAINTAINED DUE TO LOW TO MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN COVERAGE AND EXACT
TIMING. SHRA OR TSRA MAY ALSO BE CONSIDERED FOR KUTS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON, IF THE APPROACHING DISTURBANCE FROM THE NORTH REMAINS
STRONG ENOUGH. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS AND AMEND
ACCORDINGLY. WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN FROM THE SSE TODAY AROUND
10 KNOTS. OVERALL, VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MOST OF THE
