Issued at 120 PM CDT Sun Aug 9 2026 Isolated showers continue to move onshore this afternoon as moisture and some mid-level energy move toward the coast. Expect the coverage will increase as the seabreeze moves inland. It is still unclear how far inland showers and thunderstorms will make it this afternoon and Monday. By Tuesday, high pressure will rebuild over the area, settling in and limiting rain chances through the rest of the week. Temperatures remain generally around seasonal averages, but will range from a degree or two below normal Sunday to a few degrees above normal by late in the work week. Heat index values increase for the latter half of the period and heat advisories may become necessary by mid-week. && .AVIATION...
