.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1105 PM CDT Wed Aug 5 2026

Ridging centered over the Southwest CONUS/Four Corners will keep
uneventful weather over the region through the better half of next
week at least. Heights and 850mb temperatures are still expected to
drop into the weekend, resulting slightly lower heat stress and
surface temperatures. Reduced subsidence and rising PWs should bring
better rain chances during this period as well, with isolated to
scattered showers and storms possible along the seabreeze/baybreeze
each afternoon. Highs remain in the 90s each day with heat indices
reaching the triple digits in the afternoon. Some patchy fog will be
possible during the early morning hours.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 636 AM CDT Thu Aug 6 2026

A mix of MVFR to IFR ceilings continues to develop and spread
northward, impacting mainly KCLL, and briefly KSGR. These
conditions are expected to persist through 13-14Z Thursday, before
gradually improving to VFR later this morning. A few showers and
storms are possible near the terminals, but due to low confidence
in occurrence and coverage, only PROB30 groups were included.
Winds will remain generally south-southeasterly with occasional
afternoon gusts, especially at coastal terminals. Looking ahead
to tonight,patchy fog and MVFR ceilings will be possible again,
primarily near KCLL.
