KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 622 AM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

- Moderate risk of heat-related impacts into early next week, with peak heat indices between 100-110 degrees. Heat safety should continued to be practiced over the next several days

- Low chances of daily isolated showers and thunderstorms over the Coastal Plains

DISCUSSION

Issued at 138 AM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

A mid-level ridge will gradually build into the region from the west early this week. This will continue to promote warm and rain-free conditions. However, sufficient moisture combined with diurnal heating and the daily seabreeze will be enough to support low end rain chances (10-20%) across the Coastal Plains.

Looking toward the latter part of the week and into next weekend, an upper-level trough is forecast to traverse the ridge over the southeastern US, allowing a stalled frontal boundary to sag into north Texas. At the same time, increasing Gulf moisture associated with a tightening pressure gradient and a very weak disturbance/wave in the Bay of Campeche may support a modest increase in afternoon shower and thunderstorm chances across South Texas. Confidence in the timing and coverage of any rainfall, however, remains low at this time.

Near normal temperature combining with ample low-level moisture will continue promoting heat index values between 100-110 degrees through the into early this week. Please use caution if you're working or playing outside. Take plenty of breaks, drink water, and don't forget sunscreen.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 622 AM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

VFR conditions continue to prevail so far this morning but with mainly clear skies and light winds, fog still has an opportunity to develop. Otherwise, VFR conditions accompanied by typical southeasterly winds with gusts to 20-25KT can be expected today. Tonight expecting persistent conditions so have opted to leave fog out of the TAFs (except ALI) for now and maintain VFR conditions.

MARINE

Issued at 138 AM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

Gentle to moderate south-southeasterly winds (BF 3-4) will persist into midweek before becoming primarily moderate to fresh (BF 4-5), particularly across the southern bays and southern offshore waters. Low daily rain chances will also continue through much of the week before increasing by late week and into next weekend.
