Issued at 1228 PM CDT Sun Aug 17 2025
A general northeasterly flow pattern will remain in place through
Wednesday as a large upper ridge lingers over the central US. With
this flow pattern in place, a slightly drier air mass will
continue filtering into the area (PWATs generally around 1.5 to
1.8 inches). This will help to keep our rain chances rather low
(around 20-30%) through Wednesday. Although convective coverage is
low, the drier air aloft could allow for a couple stronger
storms, capable of producing gusty winds and/or small hail, to
develop. The pattern begins to transition by late week as a weak
upper trough digs into the local area, along with an associated
frontal boundary at the surface. Deep-layer flow will shift back
to a general southwesterly flow pattern in response, allowing for
deep moisture to surge back into the region. This will help to
bring back scattered to numerous showers and storms to the region
by late week and into the weekend.
With the drier air in place and lower convective coverage
expected, highs through Wednesday will rise into the low 90s along
the coast and the mid to upper 90s inland. The good news though
is that heat indices will likely remain below Heat Advisory
criteria as the drier air should allow our afternoon dew points to
mix down into the upper 60s to low 70. With higher rain chances
returning by Thursday, highs for the remainder of the period will
lower to the upper 80s to low 90s. Lows through the entire period
will generally remain in the low to mid 70s. A Low Risk of rip
currents remain in place through the week. /96
