.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 219 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025

 - Fairly normal summertime temperatures will prevail through the
   forecast period, but heat advisory headlines could return for
   some areas late in the weekend.

 - Daily diurnal rain chances remain, but any rain amounts should
   be light through the next week.

 - The potential for some Saharan dust arriving across the Gulf
   coast appears increasingly likely for next week as it often the
   case this time of year as the Atlantic easterlies increase.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 219 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025

We have settled into a rather typical summer regime for late June,
and this pattern of near/slightly above average temperatures and
daily diurnal convection is expected to largely persist through
the next seven days given the lack of any real frontal intrusions.

With that said, a weak cool front will approach our northern zones
by the early to middle part of next week but it is not expected to
make much if any progress into our region. Therefore, the mostly
rinse and repeat nature of the forecast will generally carry the
day through this weekend as somewhat fractured upper-level ridging
will allow for an uptick in rain chances mainly in southern zones
for the latter half of the weekend on Sunday. This will be largely
driven by the inland sea breeze push from the coast as the day
progresses through the hours of peak heating on Sunday afternoon
and early evening. In the meantime, rain chances will remain more
limited with high temperatures each day ranging from the lower to
mid 90s. Peak heat index values will continue to approach but
likely remain just below heat advisory criteria through Saturday,
but we may have to consider reintroducing advisory headlines for
at least some parts of our E/SE zones on Sunday.

Beyond the weekend, it`s still much of the same in terms of the
overall pattern with the exception of that aforementioned sfc
frontal boundary approaching from the north by Tuesday into early
Wednesday. This boundary could serve as more of a focus for some
diurnally driven convection, especially across our northern zones.
Meanwhile, we may be dealing with a different seasonal challenge
in our southern half as medium-range guidance continues to suggest
that an advancing plume of Saharan dust caught up in the easterlies
will continue to shift across the Atlantic toward our region early
next week. This will definitely be something to monitor as we move
through the weekend and into early next week.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1225 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025

A SCT to BKN cu field is established over the region this
afternoon and is expected to persist. We`ll have our standard pop
up convection developing by 27/21z that will continue into the
early evening hours. Apart from heavy thunderstorms, conditions
should stay high MVFR/VFR. Winds will become light and variable
through the night. Some fog development is possible in areas that
are able to have calmer winds towards sunrise tomorrow morning.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Issued at 3:00 AM CDT Thu Jun 27 2025

While diurnally driven convection will likely result in thunderstorms
capable of producing strong wind gusts, the need for Spotter
activation resulting from widespread severe thunderstorms is not
likely through tonight, although any reports of strong winds or
trees down would be appreciated.
