DISCUSSION

Issued at 1236 AM CDT Thu Jul 23 2026

Tropical Storm Bertha continues to move westward and away from the area. This will continue to take the main effects well away from the area, however a moist southerly flow will continue with isolated to scattered showers possible this afternoon. The highest rain chances will be across northwest areas closer to the influence of a weak upper trough. By the end of the week into the weekend, the upper ridge to the west expands eastward and some dryer air moves into the area. This will lead to lower rain chances and warmer temps. This trend continue into next week with isolated showers and storms possible each day. The main weather story will be the return of high heat indices with high temperatures increasing into the middle to upper 90s and apparent temperatures climbing to between 100-107 over the weekend and 105-112 early in the work week.

A HIGH risk of rip currents continues through Thursday night dropping to Moderate Friday through Sunday. /13
