.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1230 AM CDT Sat Jul 4 2026
A series of shortwaves exit the northern/central Plains and lead
to a large upper trof forming over the eastern states this
weekend. The upper trof slowly moves off into the western Atlantic
through Tuesday night, and in the process leaves an upper level
weakness lingering roughly across the lower Mississippi River
valley and back into eastern Texas. The upper level weakness
tends to remain close to this position through Thursday while a
broad upper trof progresses into the interior eastern states. A
series of shortwave then look to allow for the broad upper trof to
expand to include much of the eastern states by Friday. The sea
breeze is anticipated to lead to the development of isolated
convection on Saturday over roughly the southern half of the area.
The convective environment becomes more favorable on Sunday as the
eastern states upper trof amplifies along with precipitable water
values trending to 2.0-2.25 inches. Have gone with chance to
likely pops for much of the area on Sunday, with the higher pops
over the western portion where the best deep layer moisture will
be present.
A surface low is anticipated to develop near the Ohio River
valley Saturday night then moves towards the Mid Atlantic coast on
Monday, and in the process may bring a weak, diffuse surface trof
into central Alabama which dissipates by Tuesday. This feature
appears to aid in rain chances trending a bit higher on Monday,
then rain chances gradually taper back to chance pops areawide
for Wednesday as the upper trof moves off and leaves an upper
level weakness generally west of the area. Predominately chance
pops follow for Thursday and Friday. Heat index values of 100-105
are expected on Saturday and Sunday, then trend to 100-108 for
Tuesday through Friday with the higher values mainly over the
southern portion of the area. This may eventually be sufficient to
support Heat Advisories over the southern portion of the area
next week and will continue to monitor. A low risk of rip currents
is expected through Wednesday. /29
