...New AVIATION...

.NEAR TERM...
(Tonight)
Issued at 113 PM CDT Tue Jul 9 2024

Conditions should improve as we get into the overnight hours. Any
showers and storms should move out of the CWA by the late this
evening. Any heat issues should also come to an end quickly
after sunset as a "cold" front moves in from the west.
Subsequently, the Heat Advisory will expire at 7 PM. This should
help to allow overnight temperatures to be a hare lower than last
night -- in the upper 60s. Really, the noticeable affect should
primarily be the slightly lower dewpoints as we get towards
sunrise, making the environment feel more comfortable as we head
out the door tomorrow morning.

.SHORT TERM...
(Wednesday through Friday)
Issued at 113 PM CDT Tue Jul 9 2024

As the remnants of Beryl move away from the TN Valley, higher
pressure begins to move in due to a ridge near the four corners
rebuilding back to the east and settling our weather pattern in
the short term. This ridge should act as a roadblock to any
waves/disturbances along the jet stream and keep them further
north during this period.

As a result, we dry out as this area of high pressure allows for
mostly sunny conditions through the rest of the work week. The
good news, at least in the short term, is that heat indices
shouldn`t be reaching the triple digits, as dewpoints in the 60s
should limit afternoon RH values. In fact, highs on Wednesday will
"only" reach the 85 to 90 degree range over a bulk of the region,
before warming quickly by Thursday and Friday. Thus, folks should
keep mind of their heat safety procedures and stay hydrated, as
ambient temperatures may still reach the mid to upper-90s by
Friday.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 358 AM CDT Tue Jul 9 2024

This upper level ridging builds over the area over the weekend.
Little cloud cover is shown then and into early next week. Little
cloud cover is expected. This should allow high temperatures to
climb into the mid to upper 90s at least. Luckily dewpoints
should be much lower (lower to mid 60s -- maybe even a few upper
50s). With such high temperatures expected, we will have to watch
this period closely for the issuance of any heat related
advisories.

Low chances of showers or thunderstorms could return early next
week. However, these look unorganized and not very strong.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 637 PM CDT Tue Jul 9 2024

A few moderate/heavy shra along a pre-frontal trough may approach
the KHSV terminal over the next few hrs, before a cold front
moves eastward thru the area later tonight. Some MVFR cigs may
also develop near KHSV early Wed morning, before drier air filters
into the area out of the NW. With mainly just some lingering
mid/high sct clouds, VFR conds will then prevail thru the daytime
hrs Wed. SSW winds near 12kt with higher gusts will also turn WSW
around 7kt later this evening, before turning NW Wed morning.
