..NEW AVIATION
KEY MESSAGES
- DANGEROUS HEAT STRESS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY.
- THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK (LEVEL 1 OF 5) FOR SEVERE STORMS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 341 AM CDT SUN SEP 6 2026
TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT: AREAS OF FOG ARE FOCUSED OVER THE LOWER
PINE BELT REGION EARLY THIS MORNING, AND THIS WILL PERSIST TO
AROUND SUNRISE. OTHERWISE, EXPECT ANOTHER DAY OF DANGEROUS HEAT
AND HAVE MAINTAINED THE HEAT ADVISORY THAT IS IN EFFECT FOR
THE ENTIRE AREA. QUICK AMPLIFICATION OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
OVER THE EASTERN CONUS WILL SENT A FRONT TOWARD OUR FORECAST AREA.
THERE WILL BE SOME ADDED COMPRESSIONAL HEATING AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY WITH H850 TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 20S DEG C, AND THIS
WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED ELEVATED DANGEROUS HEAT LEVELS. A MARGINAL
SEVERE RISK HAS EMERGED FOR THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING AS SCATTERED
STORMS SHOULD INITIATE AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN AN AIRMASS
CHARACTERIZED BY STEEP LOW TO MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. THIS WILL
SUPPORT SEVERE WIND GUSTS IN THE MORE INTENSE STORMS. IF STORM
DEVELOPMENT BECOMES MORE IMMINENT, WE COULD CERTAINLY SEE THE RISK
LEVEL INCREASE TO SLIGHT (2 OF 5) AS THERE IS RECENT PRECEDENCE
FOR STORMS TO OVERACHIEVE WITH THE HOTTER DAYS AND ANOMALOUSLY HOT
H850 TEMPS.
MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY: A STUBBORN SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL REMAIN
PLANTED OVER THE GULF COAST STATES, SO DON'T EXPECT SIGNS FOR
EARLY FALL WEATHER TO SHOW UP ANY TIME SOON. INSTEAD, WE CAN
EXPECT ADDITIONAL LIMITED TO ELEVATED DANGEROUS HEAT THREATS AND
REDUCED RAINFALL COVERAGE MOSTLY LIMITED TO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE AREA. /EC/
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 618 AM CDT SUN SEP 6 2026
VFR PREVAILS. THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
THIS AFTERNOON NORTH OF I-20. THESE STORMS WILL WEAKEN AS THEY
PUSH SOUTH INTO THE EVENING AND EVENTUALLY DIMINISH AROUND 3Z.
THERE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOW STRATUS/VIS SOUTH
OF I-20, BUT GIVEN THIS HAS STRUGGLED TO MATERIALIZE THE PAST
COUPLE MORNINGS, HAVE CHOSEN TO LEAVE THIS OUT OF THE TAF FOR
NOW. /SAS/
