KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 630 PM CDT Wed Aug 5 2026

- Afternoon seabreeze driven showers and thunderstorms can be expected each day, with slightly higher chances in the Eastern CWA later this weekend.

- Locally elevated fire weather conditions over the western Brush Country through the week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 249 PM CDT Wed Aug 5 2026

No changes to the forecast once again. Expect mid-level high pressure to dominate the period. Expect this to promote warm and mostly rain free conditions outside of seabreeze convection. Some spotty showers have been popping up with the arrival of the seabreeze this afternoon. This is thanks to some midlevel energy riding the periphery of the ridge combining with the seabreeze. These will continue to be isolated in nature and will diminish this evening. Will continue to monitor the need for some short- fused heat related products. We could see heat indices up to 115 at times with dew points around the mid to upper 70s present through the next week. This translates to Moderate to Major heat stress conditions though we could see some areas reach Extreme conditions by Thursday. We strongly encourage the practice of heat safety in these conditions. Take frequent breaks and remember to stay hydrated, check those backseats, and avoid long exposure in these temperatures. For more information be sure to check out weather.gov/heatsafety.

Seas will generally range from 2-3 feet through the period. Daily rain chances will be under 20% through at least Thursday.
