.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Monday)
Issued at 1037 AM CDT SUN JUL 13 2025
High pressure will remain over the area with diurnal convection
today and tomorrow. Instabilities will be high, with decent lapse
rates, and DCAPE. Moisture will be decent, and any storm could be capable
of being strong and producing strong winds, especially with any
collapse. With the strength and position of the high over the
western part of the state, storms will stay mostly isolated with
a low chance for scattered convection to develop each afternoon.
Any training cell could cause water issues in urban areas.
Temperatures will warm each day, with triple digits across parts
of the area today and most of the area tomorrow afternoon.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 1037 AM CDT SUN JUL 13 2025
Tuesday, the high pressure begins to break down, with diurnal
convection again possible. Winds will prevail out of the north
through the afternoon, limiting moisture advection and keeping any
activity more isolated coverage. By Wednesday, a low develops
across the eastern FL area and drifts westward into the eastern
Gulf. This will transition the low and mid level flow to the east,
and begin to return moisture to the state. Models are in decent
agreement for scattered to widespread rain and thunderstorms
returning to the state Wednesday afternoon through Friday, though
models are also showing differences in coverage and timing of each
area of rain. Right now will show the entire area with increases
rain chances and details will be determined once that low gets
closer.
Tuesday and Wednesday, heat indices will be in the triple digits
for much of the area, values as high as 105 in a few areas of the
state. Once the rain starts to move into the state, cloud cover
will keep the temperatures a couple of degrees cooler, though
still hot in the mid to upper 90s.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1037 AM CDT SUN JUL 13 2025
Isolated convection is possible this afternoon, with the greatest
chances around KTCL, where VCSH was included. Left mention of
convection out of each of the other TAFs for now due to
uncertainty in coverage and timing. Will amend if needed.
Overnight, KTCL could see fog development with amount of moisture
in the low levels, but a lot will depend on activity this evening
and if any rain falls close to the site. VFR conditions will
prevail throughout the period outside of any shower and/or
thunderstorm at each TAF site, with isolated activity expected
again on Monday afternoon.
NOTE: AMD LTD TO CLD VIS AND WIND has been added at MGM until
further notice due to comms issues.

.FIRE WEATHER...
A moist summertime air mass will be in place through the
foreseeable future with daily afternoon and evening showers and
thunderstorms. 20 foot winds should remain less than 7 mph.
