DISCUSSION

Issued at 253 PM CDT Fri Jul 10 2026

Rain chances will remain elevated this afternoon through Saturday. As we head into the afternoon hours, activity over land is expected to pick up due to daytime heating. Rain chances tonight should be relatively low before rain chances increase to the 30-40% range again tomorrow. Ridging will begin to build back into the region early next week, but with PWAT values still expected to be around 2", low chances for showers and thunderstorms will remain in the forecast for much of next week.

Above normal temperature combining with abundant low-level moisture will promote heat index values between 100-109 degrees through the weekend and into early next week. Please use caution if you are working or playing outside or spending time outdoors for Independence Day. Take plenty of breaks, drink water, and don't forget sunscreen.
