.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1222 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025

Today through Monday:

Post-frontal passage continues to provide relief from the previous
days of oppressive heat as drier air filters into the region,
dropping dewpoints into the upper 60s/lower 70s. Clear skies with
seasonal temperatures (highs: upper 80s/lower 90s, lows: upper
60s/lower 70s) are expected for the rest of the afternoon. An
isolated shower in the southeast can`t be ruled out this afternoon
as the stationary front settles along the Gulf coastline. Patchy fog
may be possible near sunrise in the southwest.

Tuesday through Saturday:

As the ridge moves into the area, temps and dewpoints will begin to
increase over the next several days. With the increase in moisture
rain chances return as diurnal showers/storms will be possible in
the afternoon to early evening timeframe. In addition to increasing
moisture, afternoon temps in the lower/mid 90s with heat indices
ranging between upper 90s to lower 100s are expected. MS Delta could
see the heat indices near 105 degrees. Will continue to monition if
heat graphics/products will be needed towards the end of the
period. /SW/

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 620 AM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025

VFR flight categories will prevail at area TAF sites through much
of the 18Z forecast package. There will be a 2-4 hour period
around day break Monday, where categories are forecast to fall to
MVFR/IFR categories due to low stratus developing across portions
of the area. These will rebound to VFR categories by 16Z as this
stratus erodes. Winds this afternoon will have a northerly
component and sustained between 5-8 knots. These will decrease
overnight, becoming calm to light from the northeast around 3
knots. /19/
