.DISCUSSION...

(This evening through next Tuesday)

Issued at 212 PM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025



Slightly cooler weather continues behind a cold frontal passage

yesterday. A large CU field is already forming across the region,

but observed and modeled soundings display a strong subsidence

inversion above 850 mb will keep the region dry. Highs are

expected to be in the upper 80s and low 90s with lows around 70. A

surface low could form along the southeastern Atlantic Coastline 

with could throw a backdoor front our direction into this weekend.

However, confidence is still too low regarding the strength of 

any feature to warrant higher PoPs at this time.



Regardless of the development of a coastal low, remaining high

pressure is expected to lead to a gradual increase in temperatures

through next weekend. Highs are anticipated to be in the middle

90s by Friday. As is customary this time of year, moisture will

still be plentiful. Heat indices will therefore begin reaching

back into the low 100s as a consequence through the end of the

period.



By Monday, PWATs begin to increase as high pressure slides east 

of the region. Until this point, entrainment will keep widespread 

diurnal precipitation limited in coverage to non-existent. 

Nonetheless, NBM PoPs respond to this shift in moisture by 

bringing 30% region-wide Monday, increasing each afternoon through

Wednesday. Heat indices could be reduced to below 100 F with 

widespread rain, lending some uncertainty to the accuracy of the 

current heat index forecast. Regardless, a humid, warm, and 

potentially rainy start to next week is expected.
