Ridging centered over the Southwest CONUS/Four Corners will keep 
uneventful weather over the region through the better half of next 
week at least. Heights and 850mb temperatures are still expected to 
drop into the weekend, resulting slightly lower heat stress and 
surface temperatures. Reduced subsidence and rising PWs should bring 
better rain chances during this period as well, with isolated to 
scattered showers and storms possible along the seabreeze/baybreeze 
each afternoon. Highs remain in the 90s each day with heat indices 
reaching the triple digits in the afternoon. Some patchy fog will be 
possible during the early morning hours.

Issued at 635 PM CDT Wed Aug 5 2026

VFR conditions are expected for much of the forecast period, with
the exemption of the potential for a brief period of MVFR cigs to
possibly IFR cigs from around 11-14Z for some sites. Winds will 
relax to 5 KTS or less tonight and become VRB. Winds will be SSW 
at 5-10 KTS Thu morning and turn S-SE at 08-12 KTS Thu afternoon.
There is a slight chance for iso showers/thunderstorms in the
afternoon, in particular for HOU/IAH/SGR/CXO. Storms, is any, are
expected to dissipate in the evening.

through early next week. Chances for isolated to scattered showers 
and storms will be greatest during the late night through early 
afternoon hours for the Gulf.
