.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1200 PM CDT Tue Jul 29 2025
- Oppressive heat continues and will last through Thursday. Heat
headlines are anticipated for Thursday as heat indices rise
above 105 degrees and potentially reach or exceed 110 degrees.

cold front. Temperatures this weekend will return to normal for
early August.

.DISCUSSION...
(This afternoon through next Monday)
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Tue Jul 29 2025
An upper-level ridge axis remains centered over the Southern
Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley. Surface and low-level
moisture remain quite high late this morning with the GOES derived
Precipitable Water product indicating precipitable water values
between 1.75 to 2 inches across the Mid-South. A very hot and
humid airmass is already producing heat index values between
105-110 degrees with surface air temperatures in the lower to
middle 90s.
The upper-level ridge will continue to produce oppressive heat
and humidity across the Mid-South into Wednesday. Heat index
values will once again reach or exceed 110 degrees with the Extreme
Heat Warning remaining in place. Short term model trends continue
to indicate a weak cold front dropping south into the Lower
Mississippi Valley Thursday into Thursday night. Latest guidance
suggests additional heat warnings and advisories will be needed on
Thursday but will hold off on any extension at this time. Shower
and thunderstorm chances will gradually increase by Thursday with
overall shear expected to remain weak.
Cooler and drier air behind this front will provide some relief
from the heat wave for the upcoming weekend. Overall rain chances
will remain minimal (20-30 percent) mostly east of the Mississippi
for late weekend into early next week.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Tue Jul 29 2025
High pressure will center over the southwest portion of the
airspace resulting in VFR conditions with N/NE winds. Some
isolated convection is not out of the question this afternoon, but
with low PoPs, no mention in the TAF at this time. Guidance has
backed off a bit on the fog potential for early tomorrow morning,
but opted to remain a 5 SM tempo at MKL as preceding conditions
seem favorable for fog development.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Mon Jul 28 2025
Fire weather conditions are not anticipated this period as minimum
relative humidity values remain around 50% and with 20ft winds
around 5 mph. Wetting rain chances return on Thursday.
