.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1015 PM CDT Fri Aug 8 2025

Mid-level high pressure over the Desert Southwest and across the
Southeastern US into the eastern Gulf will continue into next week.
At the same time troughing and along the lower Texas coast will
allow daily chances of showers and thunderstorms (20-35%), mainly
along the sea breeze through Wednesday. Will see lesser chances (10%
or less) of precipitation as we head towards the end of next week
as mid level ridging spreads westward into Deep South Texas.

Near to slightly above normal temps will continue into next week,
with heat indices of 105 to 110 degrees each day. A few locations,
especially across the inland coastal counties, may briefly have heat
indices exceed 110 degrees especially as we head into mid to late
week. The timeframe and coverage remains below Heat Advisory
criteria but can not rule out the possibility of a Heat Advisory
being needed Wednesday, Thursday and/or Friday. At the very least,
SPSs will likely be needed. Heat risk will remain Moderate (level 2
of 4) to Major (level 3 of 4) every day.
