.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 115 AM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025

Today will be our final day of the heat headline as once again,
coverage of diurnal storms/clouds is minimal enough to allow
the heat/humidity to again surge into the triple digits for peak
heat index values this afternoon.

Storm chances increase headed into this weekend and early next
week, as height falls eventually see a cold front drop into the
picture. This increase in pops/storm associated clouds and the
breakdown in the ridge will allow still warm temperatures and
high humidity to top out below advisory level headlines, and be
more typical for this time of the year. And while the widespread
significant severe weather risk remains minimal, there is a
chance for locally heavy downpours, lightning, and gusty winds
with our daily storm chances.

Models continue trending slightly slower with the aforementioned
fropa and the subsequent drier, less humid air its passage works
into the region for the middle and latter part of the week.
