119 PM CDT SAT JUL 25 2015

.UPDATE...ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENT MADE TO CURRENT FORECAST WAS TO DROP
TSTMS AND SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS THE REGION TO ISOLATED.

.AVIATION...251800Z ISSUANCE...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO PERSIST
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD EXCEPT FOR IN AND AROUND SHOWERS AND TSTMS.
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ISOLATED THIS AFTERNOON. /08 JW

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 504 AM CDT SAT JUL 25 2015/

SHORT TERM [TODAY AND TONIGHT]...UPPER AIR MAPS THIS MORNING
CONTINUES TO SHOW A MID LEVEL RIDGE PARKED OVER TEXAS...EXTENDING
NORTHWARD ACROSS  AND KANSAS. EAST OF THE DEEP LAYER RIDGE... A TROF
OF LOW PRESSURE IN THE HIGH LEVELS WAS POSITIONED OFF THE EASTERN
SEABOARD. WEST OF THE TROF AXIS...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MID LEVEL DRY AIR EXPANDING INTO THE
SOUTHEAST. THIS IS EVIDENT IN THE LATEST PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
(PWATS) OVER THE SOUTHERN  WHICH REFLECTS A DROP OFF TO BELOW 1.4
INCHES. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE THOUGH REMAINS PLENTIFUL ACROSS THE GULF
COAST WITH PWATS RANGING FROM 1.75 TO 2 INCHES. THESE VALUES TOO ARE
FORECAST TO SHOW A DECLINE IN THE NEAR TERM. AT THE SURFACE...A WEAK
...QUASI-STATIONARY FRONTAL ZONE WAS DRAPED FROM  GEORGIA TO ACROSS
THE MID SOUTH.

RADAR THIS MORNING INDICATES SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
FEW STORMS STRETCHING FROM THE INTERIOR OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI TO
OFF THE COASTAL ALABAMA SHORE LINE. THIS ACTIVITY WILL ADVANCE SOUTH
SOUTHEAST THIS MORNING. FOR TODAY...WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
EASING SOUTHWARD...DAYTIME INSTABILITY...AND THE PRESENCE OF A BIT
HIGHER DEEP LAYER MOISTURE ALONG THE SOUTHERN ZONES...THIS IS WHERE
FORECASTERS PLACE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE FORECAST.
ELSEWHERE...ISOLATED COVERAGES ARE ANTICIPATED. SOME OF THE STORMS
TODAY WILL BE STRONG AT TIMES...PRODUCING BRIEF STRONG WIND
GUSTS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS. ALTHOUGH THE RISK
OF SEVERE WEATHER IS LOW...CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT AN ISOLATED
OCCURRENCE. WILL MAINTAIN A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ALONG
THE COASTAL ZONES AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF INTERIOR SOUTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI TONIGHT.

TODAY'S HIGH TEMPERATURES MOSTLY RANGE FROM 94 TO 97. WITH SOME
MIXING OUT/LOWER DEWPOINTS...HIGHEST HEAT INDEX VALUES RANGE FROM 103
TO 106. TONIGHT'S LOWS IN THE LOWER/MID 70S INTERIOR TO UPPER 70S
COAST. /10

THIS AFTERNOON'S WET MICROBURST RISK IS MODERATE.

[SUNDAY AND MONDAY]...THE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO FEEL THE INFLUENCE
FROM THE LARGE MID AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. THE
RIDGE SHIFTS SLIGHTLY FROM ITS POSITION OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
TOWARD THE MS RIVER VALLEY...NUDGING MORE INTO OUR AREA BY EARLY NEXT
WEEK. DRIER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER INTO THE REGION IN THE WAKE
OF THE AXIS OF MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE WEAK BOUNDARY THAT MOVED
THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY. MODELED PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES FALL
BELOW 1.6 INCHES BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY AFTERNOONS ACROSS THE AREA.
DRIER AIR AND INFLUENCE FROM THE RIDGE WILL KEEP THE PRECIPITATION
AT BAY...WITH A SLIM CHANCE FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS ALONG THE FL
PANHANDLE EACH AFTERNOON.

LESS RAIN AND CLOUD COVER WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO SKY ROCKET INTO
THE UPPER 90S. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE...DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 70S AND
UPPER 60S WILL KEEP THE HEAT INDICES MORE BEARABLE...IN COMPARISON
TO THIS PAST WEEK. HEAT INDICES AS HIGH AS 103-104 POSSIBLE EACH
AFTERNOON. IT WILL STILL BE HOT...BUT AT LEAST THE HUMIDITY AND HEAT
INDICES WILL NOT BE AS OPPRESSIVE. 07/MB

LONG TERM [TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY]...THE EXPANSIVE MID AND UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUES TO SLIDE EAST AND DOMINATE THE EARLY PART OF
THE FORECAST PERIOD WHICH MEANS MORE HEAT AND...UNFORTUNATELY...THE
RETURN OF THE HUMIDITY. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 90S
ON TUESDAY WITH A FEW SPOTS POSSIBLY HITTING THE CENTURY MARK. RAIN
CHANCES REMAIN LOW WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS POSSIBLE ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEA BREEZE.

EXPECT THE PATTERN TO CHANGE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM.
THE AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE QUICKLY RETROGRADES BACK TOWARD THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS...BECOMING CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN CONUS BY THE
END OF THE WORK WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP THE AREA ON THE FAR EASTERN
EDGE OF THE RIDGE MEANING RAIN CHANCES WILL BE ON THE RISE ONCE
AGAIN...PROVIDING SOME MUCH NEEDED RELIEF FROM THE HEAT. DAYTIME
HIGHS WILL START THE DOWNWARD TREND BY MID WEEK...SLOWLY ENDING OUR
STREAK OF TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 90S. TEMPERATURES MAY ONLY RISE
INTO THE LOW 90S NEXT WEEKEND. HEAT INDICES WILL ALSO CONTINUE THIS
TREND DOWNWARD...HOWEVER...THEY WILL REMAIN AS HIGH AS 105 TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD
WITH MID TO LOW 70S INLAND AND UPPER 70S ALONG THE COAST. 07/MB

AVIATION...
25.12Z TAF ISSUANCE...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA WILL BRING
REDUCED CIGS/AND LOWER VSBYS DUE TO OCCURRENCE OF MODERATE TO
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS. BRIEF STRONG WIND GUSTS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING
ACTIVITY WILL PROVE HAZARDOUS TO APPROACHES/DEPARTURES IN AND NEAR
CONVECTION. AWAY FROM STORMS...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. LIGHT
NORTHWEST WINDS FORECAST TODAY WITH WEAK FRONT POSITIONED NORTH OF
THE COAST. /10

MARINE...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE SOUTHEAST IS FORECAST TO SINK
SOUTHWARD INTO THE NORTHEAST GULF AND STALL BY MONDAY. A WEAK
PRESSURE PATTERN IS FORECAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...BRINGING
LIGHT WINDS AND SMALL SEAS. WINDS...WAVES AND SEAS WILL BE LOCALLY
HIGHER IN AND NEAR STORMS. THE STRONGER MARINE STORMS WILL LIKELY
CONTAIN FREQUENT LIGHTNING ACTIVITY AS WELL. /10
