KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1152 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2026

- Temperatures will continue to climb this week, with some of the hottest conditions of the season possible.

- High pressure will dominate, bringing very limited precipitation chances and continued drying trends.

- The hotter temperatures and lack of rainfall will continue to dry fuels, increasing the fire weather concern.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1152 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2026

Two areas of upper-level ridging will become one over much of the southern CONUS by Tuesday morning. The stable pattern will work to inhibit any rain and worsen heat through at least next week. Temperatures are expected to gradually climb into the upper 90s and low 100s, which will quickly bring Heat Advisory criteria. The main question right now is when the first advisory will be issued. As of the time of writing, heat indices for Tuesday afternoon are generally around 100-105. The 105 threshold doesn't seem to be widespread enough to warrant a product just yet but new guidance overnight could force the hand of the morning shift. With Tuesday likely being the coolest of the upcoming days, a heat product is almost certain at some point this week, with Wednesday afternoon being promising with more widespread 105 heat indices.

The shift away from southerly flow aloft will limit moisture advection and dry conditions out quickly. WPC D1-7 QPF is relatively optimistic in their sprinkling of "trace" amounts in parts of the CWA, but I wouldn't bet on seeing much. Expect worsening drought conditions with the prolonged heat and lack of rain. In addition, fire weather will become a greater concern as fuels quickly dry out, increasing potential for fire starts and easier fire spread.

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1248 AM CDT Tue Aug 11 2026

For the 11/06z TAF period...Expect VFR conditions to prevail during the TAF period, with passing high clouds and afternoon CU. There is some hint of some low clouds moving into the airspace around daybreak, but confidence is too low to include in TAF forecast. Otherwise, expect winds to slightly increase from the south during the period to between 7-12 mph. /20/
