.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday night)
Issued at 306 AM CDT Fri Jun 6 2025

An upper level ridge is centered over Mexico and stretches up the
Texas coast into Louisiana. A subtropical ridge over the Atlantic
stretches across Florida into the northern gulf coast.

The surface ridge continues to keep the south flow in place which
is pushing in gulf moisture while the upper ridge suppresses
convection. The end result is hot and humid conditions with
minimal pops. Apparent temps today should mostly be below the
threshold of an advisory of 108, but an isolated location or two
may briefly touch it. However, both Saturday and Sunday may be a
degree or two warmer which may necessitate the need for the
issuance of and adv.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Friday)
Issued at 306 AM CDT Fri Jun 6 2025

Late Sunday into Monday an upper trough moves into the upper
Midwest while the aformentioned upper ridge shifts south and
west. Rain chances Monday will increase as the ridge`s influence
is reduced and a frontal boundary moves into the deep south and
stalls. This will also push the afternoon highs back down into
the upper 80s to low 90s with apparent temps below 108.

As troughing develops over the central CONUS, multiple
disturbances will move across the local region keeping rain
chances elevated much of the extended. PWAT values peak out
Tuesday through Thursday at around 2" which is the 90th
percentile. Heavy rain/efficient rainfall producing storms can be
anticipated.
