.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 140 PM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

Just a few seabreeze showers/storms today thanks to slightly lower 
deep moisture across the area today. Will see a similar situation 
tomorrow, though a plume of tropical moisture will be approaching, 
so probably a bit more convection than today. Temperatures both 
today and tomorrow will remain near normal. 

For Friday and Saturday that moisture plume really moves over the 
area and will have a weak shortwave rotating through the area 
between ridging over Florida and ridging to the northwest of the 
area. Will see an increase in convective activity with the 
aforementioned conditions with PoPs in the 40% range, especially 
east. PWAT values top two inches an should allow for some heavier 
downpours. Totals are generally expected to be under half an inch, 
but as typically happens with this type of convection, slow moving 
storms will create isolated higher amounts. 

Moving into next week the mid-level pattern continues to be fairly 
active with shortwaves, but right now it looks mainly to bring rain 
chances to the Victoria Crossroads. Temperatures remain near
normal.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 140 PM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

Mainly VFR conditions in the forecast for this period. Less coverage 
of showers/storms this afternoon, but will still see some in the VCT 
region. Have VCTS mentioned for that site. Otherwise typically 
afternoon southeast breezes with scattered CU this afternoon. 
Overnight looks less conducive for low CIGS/VIS restrictions than 
past few nights, but do still have a brief MVFR VIS mentioned for 
ALI.

.MARINE...
Issued at 140 PM CDT Wed Jul 8 2026

Mainly moderate south-southeasterly winds (BF 3-4) will persist 
through the rest of the work week. A few showers and storms possible 
today and tomorrow with increasing potential Friday and Saturday. 
Winds will become more weak to moderate next week.
