.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1259 AM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026
Mostly hot and dry weather conditions prevail today into Friday as
upper ridging remains dominant, with perhaps an isolated shower or
storm either day along the northward advancing afternoon seabreeze
boundary. Temperatures top out in the lower to middle 90's today and
Friday, with morning temperatures starting off in the lower to
middle 70's. Slightly better rain chances enter the picture this
weekend as upper ridging weakens, with isolated to scattered
afternoon showers and thunderstorms anticipated Saturday and Sunday.
Temperatures remain hot overall, with afternoon highs topping out in
the lower to middle 90's and heat indices in the 100 to 105 range.
Morning temperatures offer no relief as middle to upper 70's become
common to start the day Saturday into early next week.
As we head into next week, we will see a pretty substantial pattern
change start to take shape as upper ridging shifts southwest and
upper troughing becomes dominant. There is already a pretty decent
signal for widespread moderate to heavy rainfall across the region,
particularly as we head into the early to middle part of next week.
It's too early to get into the details on things, but overall
deterministic and ensemble guidance supports a favorable pattern for
heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding potential during this
timeframe. The axis of heaviest rainfall will be contingent on the
evolution of the cold front as it stalls across the gulf coast
states and any shortwaves rounding the base of the parent trough.
A Moderate risk of rip currents begins today and will last for the
foreseeable future. While the morning may start off as a Low risk,
the risk gradually ramps up to a Moderate this afternoon. Onshore
winds strengthen quite a bit as we head into early next week, and
it's likely for the risk to increase to a High sometime late Monday
into Tuesday towards the end of the current forecast period. MM/25

VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the afternoon and
evening hours. Cannot rule out a few isolated showers and storms
during the afternoon, mainly over interior counties. For tonight,
there is an increasing potential for patchy fog and low ceilings
to develop, primarily inland. Visibilities and ceilings may drop
to IFR or lower after midnight and may persist through the mid
morning hours. Southerly winds of around 5-10 knots will become
more light and variable tonight. /96

Light onshore flow will continue today. A diurnal pattern develops
Friday through the weekend with light westerly flow at night and
southwesterly flow during the day. Moderate onshore flow returns in
the early to middle part of next week. No impacts expected other
than locally higher winds and seas possible near thunderstorms this
weekend. MM/25
