.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1242 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

No significant changes were made to the ongoing forecast. Mid-upper
ridging will dominate through the weekend. Though a short lived 
rogue shower can't completely be ruled out, subsidence aloft will 
largely inhibit precip chances. Temps will generally be around, or
just slightly above, seasonable norms (highs in 90s, lows in the 
70s to around 80). Though heat indices and WBGT values should 
remain below advisory criteria, those with outdoor plans should 
still take the necessary precautions to avoid heat stress.

Mid-upper ridging centered over the central Gulf states should 
strengthen and gradually lift north-northeast going into the mid 
and late parts of next week. This should allow for some weak 
disturbances to move westward under the ridge toward the upper 
Texas coast. Since subsidence shouldn't be quite as dominate, 
we'll the return of isolated-scattered shower/thunderstorm 
chances to the forecast. 47
