THROUGH TONIGHT: MODELS INDICATE THAT THE PERISISTENT TROUGH TO
OUR WEST WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE THE DIURNAL CONVECTIVE
PATTERN IN THE NEAR TERM WITH MORE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED COVERAGE
OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING CONVECTION AND SLIGHTLY
HOTTER AFTERNOON HIGHS. WITH THE HOTTER TEMPERATURES, HEAT STRESS
CONCERNS WILL INCREASE OVER OUR WHOLE CWA. PEAK HEAT INDEX VALUES
WILL BE AROUND 105F AGAIN MONDAY. WL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE
WHOLE CWA WITH A "LIMITED" FOR HEAT STRESS IN OUR GRAPHICS. /22/
TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY: THE FORECAST FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD
REMAINS ON TRACK FOR THE MOST PART WITH NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
MADE TO THE OVERALL FORECAST. DANGEROUS HEAT WILL BE THE PRIMARY
FOCUS FOR THE LONG TERM PERIOD FOR OUR ENTIRE FORECAST AREA
BEGINNING ON TUESDAY WITH HEAT INDEX READINGS IN THE TRIPLE
DIGITS.
MODEL CONSENSUS FROM BOTH THE GFS AND THE EURO IS STILL SHOWING THE
1020MB SFC HIGH STARTING TO GRADUALLY RETROGRADE ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST CONUS HEADING INTO TUESDAY. AS THIS HIGH BEGINS TO PUSH
NORTH INTO THE REGION, HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ACROSS OUR CWA,
WHICH IN TURN, WILL LEAD TO INCREASING HEAT CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. LOOKING AT CURRENT FORECAST TRENDS, IT APPEARS THAT
HEAT INDICES WILL BE IN THE 106-110 RANGE NEXT TUESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY GIVEN DAYTIME HIGHS FORECASTED IN THE MID/UPPER 90S ALONG
WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S (A FEW SPOTS COULD
POTENTIALLY SEE DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 80S). AT THIS TIME, NO CHANGES
HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE HEAT GRAPHIC FOR THE TUESDAY/FRIDAY TIMEFRAME
AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT A "ELEVATED" RISK FOR DANGEROUS
HEAT STRESS. HEAT TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED AS WE GET
THROUGH THE NEW WORK WEEK. IF HEAT TRENDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE, THEN
A "SIGNIFICANT" RISK WILL BE INTRODUCE IN LATER UPDATES.
FURTHERMORE, HEAT ADVISORIES/WARNINGS WILL EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED AS
WELL.
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING SHOWERS AND T-STORMS WILL PROVIDE SOME
RELIEF FROM THE HEAT. GLOBAL GUIDANCE SHOWS CONVECTION DISSIPATING
BY THE EVENING HOURS EACH DAY AS DAYTIME HEATING WANES. A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ALONG THE GULF COAST BY MID-
WEEK. AS THE LOW PRESSURE TRAVERSE THE GULF COAST, THE NATIONAL
HURRICANE CENTER IS MONITORING FOR A LOW PROBABILITY (10-30% CHANCE)
OF TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT. WITH PW'S IN THE 90TH PERCENTILES AND
TROPICAL MOISTURE PUSHING INTO THE REGION, A "SLIGHT" RISK FOR
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WAS INTRODUCED BY WPC.
ADDITIONAL UPDATES WILL BE PROVIDED AS THE TIMEFRAME GETS CLOSER.
RAIN CHANCES WILL LINGER INTO SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH HIGHER
POPS (AROUND 50-85%) ALONG AND EAST OF I-55. /CR/

A FAIRLY TYPICAL MID SUMMER REGIME CONTINUES FOR THE AREA. VFR
CONDITIONS AND LIGHT SOUTHWEST SURFACE WIND WILL PREVAIL FOR THE
MOST PART THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. EXCEPTIONS WILL BE WITH A
FEW AREAS OF MVFR/IFR CATEGORY STRATUS AND BR/FG DURING THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS, AND WITH BRIEF IMPACTS FROM DIURNALLY DRIVEN TSRA,
WHICH WILL TEND TO BE MOST ENHANCED DURING THE MID/LATE AFTN TO
EARLY EVNG. /EC/
