Enough instability is present for a few strong to marginally severe, pulse type storms early this evening, but with the loss of the day`s heating, strength and coverage will decrease.

Issued at 152 PM CDT Sun Aug 9 2026 Typical summertime pattern across the area with scattered showers and storms developing in an airmass with weak mid/upper level flow and precipitable water values around 2 inches. Heavy rain and frequent lightning will be the main threats. Gusty winds are possible in the stronger storms. Similar conditions expected on Monday with scattered showers and storms developing offshore during the morning, spreading inland through the afternoon hours. Wednesday through the end of the week, the upper ridge builds over the southeast with some drier air also moving into the area. This will result in warming temps and only isolated mainly afternoon and early evening showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s early in the week increasing into the mid and upper 90s. Low temperatures are generally in the low to mid 70s each night with upper 70s along the coast. Heat index values will generally be in the 100 to 107 range through Wednesday increasing into the 105 to 110 range by late week into next weekend. /13 && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 609 PM CDT Sun Aug 9 2026 Isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms will bring local drops in conditions to low end MVFR levels to counties inland from our coastal counties. This convection should have limited impact to operations before conditions become general VFR overnight. Rainshowers and thunderstorms developing near and south of the coast towards sunrise Monday may affect nearby airports, but should not affect operations significantly. Afternoon convection is expected to develop, with local drops in conditions to MVFR levels. /16 && .MARINE...
