.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1158 AM CDT Tue Jul 15 2025

Although radar imagery has gone quiet early this afternoon, models
continue to suggest the idea that there could be some isolated
convection across our northern zones this afternoon so I have
maintained some mention of PoPs across this area through this
evening. Otherwise, mostly dry conditions have settled in to the
region and will remain in place through at least Thursday morning.
Despite the heat today, I have elected to lay in the bed we made
and not issue a Heat Advisory for this afternoon as I still think
we will be borderline at best. I was on the fence for Wednesday
too, and after some consideration, I decided to go with a Heat
Advisory for portions of our eastern zones. Please see the latest
headlines for details on exact location. Pretty good chance that
Heat Advisories could be extended into Thursday for some portions
of the area as heat index values will remain at critical levels.

Our next good chance of any precipitation for portions of our area
won`t come till later in the week and in the form of tropical
moisture. There is some uncertainty with this system, especially
with the model runs today. I don`t think models will start to
level out till the system is fully in the Gulf and we can see how
it starts to interact with the waters there. Regardless, NBM
continues to show increased rain chances from the system late
Thursday and into Friday, but the overall theme of location and
timing will be refined through the week as the picture becomes
more clear. This system will also play a major role in what our
temperatures this upcoming weekend will look like, so just
continue to monitor the forecast for the latest. /33/
