KEY MESSAGES

- Headline heat continues thru at least Thursday, but it will remain stifling hot and humid right thru the weekend; additional or extended heat headlines may become warranted.

- A daily chance of storms returns by this evening. The best chance of a strong or potentially severe storm is Wednesday evening; damaging winds will be the primary severe storm hazard.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/

Issued at 1200 PM CDT Tue Aug 11 2026

A persistence strategy forecast suggests a continuation of FEW- SCT low VFR bases that are diurnally driven, beneath SCT-BKN mid to high level bases that are essentially debris clouds from near vicinity upstream convection; convective chances do appear to be low enough at the terminals to preclude from this forecast, but will heighten tmrw afternoon and evening as the focusing boundary adjusts its positioning nearer our terminals over the next 24-36 hours.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/

Issued at 1023 PM CDT Tue Aug 11 2026

While skies will be clear overnight, there is a chance some convection may blow up along a remnant outflow boundary over EVV and OWB in the morning for a few hours. Later in the afternoon and evening a complex of storms is modeled to swing through EVV and OWB, however timing is low confidence at this time. A diurnal cu deck will establish during the day again, and winds will be out of the southwest around 5-8 kts before going light and variable overnight again.
