KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 140 PM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

- Moderate risk of heat-related impacts this week, with peak heat indices between 103-108 degrees.

- Low rain chances through Thursday along the Coastal Plains, medium rain chances Friday into the weekend.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 140 PM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

Just a few seabreeze showers/storms today thanks to slightly lower deep moisture across the area today. Will see a similar situation tomorrow, though a plume of tropical moisture will be approaching, so probably a bit more convection than today. Temperatures both today and tomorrow will remain near normal.

For Friday and Saturday that moisture plume really moves over the area and will have a weak shortwave rotating through the area between ridging over Florida and ridging to the northwest of the area. Will see an increase in convective activity with the aforementioned conditions with PoPs in the 40% range, especially east. PWAT values top two inches an should allow for some heavier downpours. Totals are generally expected to be under half an inch, but as typically happens with this type of convection, slow moving storms will create isolated higher amounts.

Moving into next week the mid-level pattern continues to be fairly active with shortwaves, but right now it looks mainly to bring rain chances to the Victoria Crossroads. Temperatures remain near normal.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 140 PM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

Mainly VFR conditions in the forecast for this period. Less coverage of showers/storms this afternoon, but will still see some in the VCT region. Have VCTS mentioned for that site. Otherwise typically afternoon southeast breezes with scattered CU this afternoon. Overnight looks less conducive for low CIGS/VIS restrictions than past few nights, but do still have a brief MVFR VIS mentioned for ALI.

MARINE

Issued at 140 PM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

Mainly moderate south-southeasterly winds (BF 3-4) will persist through the rest of the work week. A few showers and storms possible today and tomorrow with increasing potential Friday and Saturday. Winds will become more weak to moderate next week.
