Issued at 1213 AM CDT Mon Aug 18 2025
A large high pressure area extending from the central and
southern plains east of the Mississippi River will persist into
late Monday night, with a ridge expected to expand eastward to the
mid Atlantic states. This upper high and ridge will then retreat
westward on Tuesday through midweek as Hurricane Erin moves
northward over the western Atlantic. We are expecting PWATs to
remain steady around 1.5" through midweek, with rain chances
continuing to trend to mainly isolated to scattered afternoon
showers and thunderstorms. A few of the stronger storms will have
the potential to produce gusty surface winds and/or small hail.
PWATs are expected to increase slightly to around 2" through the
latter half of next week as a cold front stalls north of our
region, so we could see a return to scattered to occasional
numerous afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
With the drier air in place and low convective coverage, highs
through Thursday will reach the low to mid 90s (a few interior
locations could reach the upper 90s). Heat indices will 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 moisture returning the latter half of the week, temperatures
will trend slightly lower with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s.
Lows through the period will generally remain in the low to mid
70s. A Low Risk of rip currents remain in place through the
period. /22

Issued at 1228 PM CDT Sun Aug 17 2025
No significant impacts are expected for mariners other than
locally higher winds and seas possible near thunderstorms. A
diurnal flow pattern will continue through the middle of the week,
with an offshore flow developing late each night and becoming
onshore in the afternoon. A light southwesterly flow will follow
to finish out the week. Isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms will be possible each day. /22
