  remain dry.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1251 PM CDT Tue Aug 4 2026

No significant changes were made to the ongoing forecast. With 
the exception of an isolated seabreeze/baybreeze shower or 
thunderstorm, subsidence and modest moisture levels should keep 
rain chances fairly low for the vast majority of the region. As
the days progress Thursday into early next week, we should see
heights fall just a touch across our coastal areas as the western
ridge repositions just a bit further north. This, along with a
developing fetch of SE llvl winds and higher PW's should allow for
some better rain chances (mainly just scattered diurnally driven 
coverage) for our southern 2-3 tiers of counties. High temperatures
should trend down a few degrees as well with the SE flow and more
cloud cover. 47

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 710 PM CDT Tue Aug 4 2026

Current VCTS associated with the afternoon sea breeze are being 
monitored around IAH. Remnants of the sea breeze will keep S 
winds elevated around 10 kts, gusting between 15-20 kts. Winds 
will relax becoming variable at 03-05 kts in the early morning 
hours between 05-12Z. Just before sunrise, CIGs and VSBYs could 
drop to MVFR and even VFR at some terminals such as SGR, LBX, IAH,
and CXO due to light winds and overnight moisture supply. After 
sunrise, CIGs will gradually lift and scatter out and fog, if any,
will burn off quickly and return to VFR conditions throughout the
period. Winds will strengthen around 10 kts throughout the 
afternoon out of the S-SE. Sea breeze again brings gusts 15-20 kts
and another round of PROB30 -SHRA, mainly around the I-10 
corridor.
