.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1241 AM CDT Mon Aug 4 2025

While Sunday may have been the most pleasant day of our mid-
summer break from the oppressive heat and humidity, today should
still offer relatively comfortable conditions. Some areas will start
the day with low clouds. Otherwise, a drier airmass remains over
much of our region this morning, with dewpoints ranging in the 60s
to low 70s. Once again, this will keep heat indices in check through
today. There are somewhat better odds for afternoon convection
today, mainly in southeast Mississippi, but most locations will
remain dry.

Looking ahead, warmer daytime temps are in store through this week
as mid level ridging builds back in from the west. The warmest
conditions will be roughly west of I-55, with temps more seasonable
in the east. Moisture will also gradually return, with dewpoints
trending back toward low to mid 70s, yielding heat indices of 100-
105F by Tuesday and Wednesday, mainly over western and southern
zones where there will be more overlay of warmth and humidity. For
now, we`re still not planning to highlight heat stress concerns just
yet, but this may be needed later in the week.

Through the week, relatively better (but not necessarily high)
chances for rain will be most focused over the eastern to
southeastern half of the area, with lesser chances farther west
where the ridge should exert more influence. On most days, rain
coverage will be scattered at best and diurnally driven as is
typical this time of year. /DL/

VFR conditions continue to prevail in the west with sites in the
east prevailing MVFR/IFR due to low ceilings. Low stratus looks to
persist through the morning and into the early afternoon, after
which VFR should prevail. The same deal repeats tomorrow morning
with a return to low stratus in the east early tomorrow
morning./SAS/
