DISCUSSION

Issued at 208 PM CDT Sat Jun 27 2026

Quasi-zonal flow aloft is beginning to modify as ridging begins its anticipated development and strengthening over the just east of the Mississippi River Valley. This, in combination with onshore surface flow, will allow for maximized warm air advection/maintenance through Tuesday for temperature maximums in the mid-to-upper 90s. As the ridge maximizes in strength over the Ohio River Valley, outlooks from the National Hurricane Center highlight a disturbance south of the Carolina coasts that eventually slips west along the Gulf Coast and around the southern periphery of this ridge by Thursday. Diurnally-driven convective modes become more likely as a result after next Wednesday. By Independence Day, long-range guidance suggests another warming trend with a 50 to 75 percent chance of temperatures greater than 95 degrees.

With dew points expected to remain in the low-to-mid 70s by this time, hazardous heat will be impactful for all groups of people and not just heat-sensitive groups. Adequate precautions and awareness are encouraged now against the elevated potential for heat illnesses. This includes (and is not limited to) altering outdoor plans, taking frequent breaks if you must be outside, checking the backseat of your vehicle, and knowing the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. /16/

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 616 PM CDT Sat Jun 27 2026

VFR conditions will prevail through most of the evening hours across our airspace. Look for returning MVFR ceilings however overnight through the mid morning hours on Sunday before this cloud cover thins and scatters out by mid to late morning. Therefore VFR conditions will return. Current gusts should subside somewhat across most locations with the exception of the TYR terminal where gusts upwards of 18 to 22kts could continue overnight. With sufficient mixing, look for stronger SSE to SSW gusts prevailing by mid to late morning with speeds upwards of 25kts. Strongest winds will remain across our western airspace through the end of the TAF period.
