DISCUSSION

Issued at 127 PM CDT Sat Aug 8 2026

The area remains in between two upper levels ridges, one over the southwest and another off the east coast. Meanwhile, the Bermuda high over the western Atlantic will build westward Sunday into Monday. The resulting increased southerly flow will bring more deep layer moisture into the area with PW values over 2 inches. This will result in increased chances for showers and thunderstorm Sunday into Monday. Gusty winds and frequent lightning will be the main threats. The high moisture levels combined with the slow movement of the storms will also lead to locally heavy rainfall as well. By the middle of the week, the upper ridge builds over the area, with lower rain chances and higher temps.

High temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s through the period. Low temperatures are generally in the low to mid 70s each night with upper 70s along the coast. Heat index values will range from 100 to 107 in most areas through the period and widespread heat advisory criteria is not expected. /13
