.NEAR TERM...
(Through Monday)
Issued at 203 PM EDT Sun Jul 20 2025

Another hot day is on tap for today, as temps have already warmed
into the lower to middle 90s, with a few more hours of heating
still to go. Coupled this with reasonably high dewpoints lends to
the validity of the Heat Advisory currently in effect for the
majority of the area. Isolated showers and thunderstorms have
struggled to get going, with intermittent activity noted across
portions of the CWA. This is due to deep layer ridging placed
across the CWA mitigating widespread chances of rainfall.

Rainfall chances will make a return on Monday as the UA ridge
commences to retrograde and become centered west of the area. This
will allow a sfc low to shift southward to near the region thus
increasing chances for rainfall. As such, should see a bit more
cloud cover that will result in daytime temps tomorrow /albeit
still hot with projected highs in the mid-upper 90s/ to be a
degree or two lower than today. Nonetheless, will need to take a
closer look at the possibility of another Heat Advisory for
tomorrow. Overnight temps will be in the upper 70s.

.SHORT TERM...
(Monday night through Tuesday night)
Issued at 203 PM EDT Sun Jul 20 2025

Deep layer high pressure will continue to break down on Tuesday
as a trough from the northeast moves south. The effects of this
change will be gradual, into the the long term. Afternoon PoPs
will range from 50-70 percent for Tuesday into Tuesday night as
the trough pushes towards the Gulf.

Temperatures on Tuesday are still expected to be hot with highs
in the upper 90s and heat indices around 107-115 degrees. Heat
advisories will be possible. With elevated PWATs above 2 inches on
Tuesday, some thunderstorms may produce heavy downpours. This and
increased cloud cover could reduce afternoon high temps. However,
overnight lows will be a warm and muggy upper 70s to nearly 80
degrees.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 203 PM EDT Sun Jul 20 2025

Showers and thunderstorms are expected through the start of the
Long Term due to the surface trough and its attending cold front
pushing through from the northeast. "Cooler" temperatures with
highs in the low 90s are expected and PoPs ranging from 70-90
percent. This will be an excellent reprieve from the hot
temperatures from the past weekend. However, overnight lows will
still be muggy with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. As we
head towards next weekend, high pressure will build in again from
the Atlantic, allowing temperatures to rise back to the mid-90s.
PoPs will be more diurnally driven with afternoon showers and
thunderstorms.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 123 PM EDT Sun Jul 20 2025

VFR conditions are expected at the terminals this aftn. A high
pressure system across the region has resulted in isolated
-SHRA/-TSRA struggling to maintain itself. The majority of
precipitation has been noted south of the terminals, with the
exception of KECP. A VCSH has been inserted at KECP but otherwise,
there is no precip mention through this evening. VCSH has been
inserted for the eastern terminals for tomorrow morning due to an
impinging low pressure system that will produce -SHRA/-TSRA.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 203 PM EDT Sun Jul 20 2025

Favorable boating conditions will continue. With the afternoon
seabreezes, winds may gust 15-20 kts in our nearshore waters
through the weekend into next week. Seas are expected to be
tranquil at 1-2 feet through the week. Widespread showers and
thunderstorms return by Tuesday, and especially by
Wednesday/Thursday as a weak area of low pressure potentially
moves into the Gulf. Some development and an increase in
winds/seas can`t be ruled out at this time.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 203 PM EDT Sun Jul 20 2025

Upper level high pressure system will shift west of the region
tomorrow. The isolated showers and thunderstorms of today will
become a bit more scattered Monday through Tuesday, due to the
westward shift of the aforementioned ridge, and the impingement of
a sfc low pressure system. High dispersions are expected with
west- northwest transport winds of 10-15 mph and high mixing
heights. The main story continues to be the heat today, but may be
a degree or two cooler Monday and Tuesday, courtesy of increased
rain chances and accompanied cloud cover.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 203 PM EDT Sun Jul 20 2025

On Monday, a trough will extend south towards the region,
increasing moisture content. Rain chances improve through the
week, and the WPC includes our region in Marginal (level 1 of 4)
risks through the week. Widespread showers and thunderstorms
return by Tuesday and especially by Wednesday/Thursday as a weak
area of low pressure potentially moves into the Gulf. Some
development and an increase in winds/seas can`t be ruled out at
this time. Overall, about 2-4 inches of rain is expected through
the forecast period. Yet due to the previous rains we`ve had, some
locations may be susceptible to flash flooding with the heavy
downpours. Our rivers are in good condition, so riverine flooding
is not expected.
