KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 106 PM CDT Tue Aug 25 2026

- Isolated showers from this morning will continue to diminish through the afternoon.

- The oppressive heat will expand across the remainder of the region Wednesday, before slightly cooler temperatures return for late week as the upper ridge retreats farther west, and isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms increase across the region.

- Dry conditions will return by this weekend, with near-zero chances for rainfall through the beginning of next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 106 PM CDT Tue Aug 25 2026

Elevated showers have been progressing southward through the region this morning, with rain making it to the ground in some areas. These showers are expected to continue southward and gradually dissipate through the afternoon. Scattered cloud cover should remain through the afternoon and allow for temperatures to climb into the upper 90s and low 100s.

The ridge is expected to pull back slightly and allow for a shortwave to ride along the flow into the Ark-La-Tx during the day on Wednesday. There could me some shower development associated with an MCV along the I-30 corridor during the early to mid morning hours. But these showers should be overtaken by the main show in the late afternoon/evening hours over much of northwest LA. Both rounds of showers have the potential for damaging wind gusts, and a chance of flash and urban flooding for our far eastern zones. The second round of showers is expected to persist through the overnight hours and exit to the southeast late Thursday. The elevated cloud cover and surrounding precip could very well impact how much areas are able to warm, as we saw on Monday. As such, current confidence is too low on what areas will stay clear enough to require a Heat Advisory tomorrow. The evening shift will reevaluate this later tonight.

The ridge should expand eastward again at the end of this week and going into the weekend. This will keep temperatures warm and bring back the previously dry conditions through the rest of the forecast period.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 741 PM CDT Tue Aug 25 2026

For the 26/00Z TAF period, VFR conditions prevail this evening as lingering late day convection has largely faded. Additional scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to expand into our airspace once again on Wednesday with the next disturbance. Overall, impacts should be minimal with some altocu cigs around 10-12Kft while VCSH/VCTS is included at most terminals during the latter half of the period. Otherwise, light S/SW winds overnight will increase slightly on Wednesday between 5-10 kts on average with occasional higher gusts possible in the afternoon, mainly invof convection.
