KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 610 AM CDT Tue Jul 7 2026

- Moderate risk of heat-related impacts this 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. Rain chances increase slightly by the end of the week and into the weekend

DISCUSSION

Issued at 203 AM CDT Tue Jul 7 2026

A mid-level ridge will continue building over the area promoting warm and dry conditions. However, a shower/thunderstorm can't be ruled out each afternoon with the seabreeze. As we head into late this work week, an upper-level trough will move across the central US to help weaken the mid-level ridge. This feature coincide with an influx of moisture from the Gulf which will help promote low to medium chances for showers and thunderstorm late this week and into the weekend.

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 610 AM CDT Tue Jul 7 2026

Conditions remain VFR so far this morning and may briefly drop before the morning is over. Anything that does form is expected to be shallow and burn off quickly. This afternoon, southeasterly winds with gusts to around 15-20KT will be accompanied by very low chances for some isolated showers across the region but not enough to include a mention in TAFs. The best chance for activity will be VCT. For tonight, models once again point towards mostly VFR conditions but have included MVFR VSBYs for ALI.

MARINE

Issued at 203 AM CDT Tue Jul 7 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.
