.DISCUSSION...

Pattern remains status quo for a good part of the week with
mid/upper ridging situated across the Desert Southwest into Texas,
troffiness in the SE states, and ridging in the Atlantic. Locally,
drier air & subsidence should be fairly dominate and keep things 
mostly dry through the midweek period (though an isolated late day
shower can't totally be ruled out with the seabreeze). 

Thursday and into the weekend, PW's trend upward and closer to the
2" range. And, depending on your model of choice, maybe a few 
weak inverted H5 waves tracking wwd across the nrn Gulf Coast toward
TX. Either should allow for slightly better diurnally driven rain
chances and coverage (perhaps 30-40%). 47

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 629 PM CDT Mon Aug 3 2026

VFR conditions are expected to continue with winds 5-10kts out of
the S-SE. Tomorrow morning winds relax to 2-4 kts between 10-15Z 
for most of our terminals. At this point, patchy fog is possible but
would burn up shortly after sunrise. Winds strengthen tomorrow
afternoon to 6-10 kts from the S-SE, with stronger winds along 
our coast. An isolated SHRA is possible in the late afternoon on 
Tuesday with the primary concern around the I-10 corridor. Any
storms that do pop up could be capable of producing gusts up to
15-20kts. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected to persist 
throughout the forecast period.
