DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 302 PM CDT SUN AUG 10 2025
UPPER-LEVEL/500MB RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN CONUS WILL DRIFT TO THE
SOUTHEASTERN CONUS THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK. AT THE SAME
TIME, A CLOSED UPPER-LEVEL LOW WILL SHIFT EASTWARD THROUGH THE
CANADIAN PRAIRIES TO NORTHERN ONTARIO BY WEDNESDAY. A NEARLY
STATIONARY FRONT WILL BE DRAPED BETWEEN THESE FEATURES AS IT BECOMES
ILL-DEFINED BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. ALONG AND NEAR THE BOUNDARY,
EXPECT A BETTER CHANCE FOR AT LEAST SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP BEGINNING AS EARLY AS TUESDAY AFTERNOON
BEFORE LINGERING THROUGH THURSDAY. DEEPER MOISTURE IS PROGGED TO
ADVECT NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF THROUGH MID WEEK, ALSO HELPING TO
INCREASE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND INCREASE THE THREAT FOR HEAVY
DOWNPOURS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S THROUGH
THURSDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE WARMING FURTHER INTO THE WEEKEND. THE
AFOREMENTIONED INCREASE IN MOISTURE LEVELS WILL ALSO MAKE IF FEEL
LESS COMFORTABLE OUTSIDE WITH AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES PUSHING
CLOSER TO THE MID 90S.
THE RIDGE IS STILL EXPECTED TO AMPLIFY ONCE AGAIN FOR THE END OF THE
WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND, PUSHING HIGH TEMPERATURES UP TOWARD THE MID
90S WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES APPROACHING 100-105 DEGREES. THERE STILL
MAY BE SOME ISOLATED AFTERNOON STORMS EACH DAY, BUT THE COVERAGE IS
EXPECTED TO BE MINIMIZED BY THE INCREASED HEAT ALOFT.
