...New AVIATION...
.KEY MESSAGES...
- Very typical summer pattern will persist through early next week
with daily afternoon thunderstorms, afternoon highs in the low
to mid 90s and max heat indices from 98 to 107 degrees.
- Somewhat higher precipitation chances Sunday in response to
higher tropical moisture surging into the region.
- A weak upper ridge may build in by the middle of next week,
increasing temperatures a couple degrees and slightly
decreasing rain chances.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Sunday night)
Issued at 205 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025
A ridge stretches from the Atlantic across the Deep South this
afternoon which is keeping the flow light and somewhat VRB across
the local area. Farther west and into TX, the flow becomes more
southerly around the periphery of the ridge. Aloft, the region
lies between a trough out west and a upper low over AL and GA with
weak ridging locally.
The typical diurnal convection is developing with the overall
typical summer pattern. Isolated showers and storms are along the
coast and outflow and the sea breeze will dictate where convection
flourishes through sunset. Slightly higher PWATs are noted toward
the Atchafalaya Basin and points east which will have a higher
coverage.
Rinse and repeat for Saturday.
Higher moisture from the gulf will work into the whole region
Sunday. Scattered to numerous afternoon storms are anticipated
area wide decreasing at sunset.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Monday through next Thursday)
Issued at 205 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025
Rain chances decrease some into Monday and Tuesday back to a more
typical scattered summer afternoon scenario.
A ridge aloft may build over the area Wednesday and beyond which
may decrease rain chances slightly which will in turn increase
temps a degree or two.
