.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Wed Jul 16 2025

Popcorn convective chances from the buildup of heat/humidity
will recur daily diurnally. But overall chances will prop up as
height falls and surface boundary interactions take place this
weekend into early next week. Plenty of moisture with PW`s AOA
2" will abound in a daily/unstable air mass with anywhere from
2-4K J/KG of MUCAPE available to tap into. If a stronger storm
collapses, cannot rule out completely the chance for damaging
winds, although overall, shear in the column remains on the soft
side for svr wx support/organization as a whole.

Beyond the daily recurring chances will be the daily challenges
with heat/humidity, approaching or exceeding the triple digit
mark for many almost daily. Headlines like today may necessitate
repeating over portions of the area in the ensuing days, but
there is enough hedge of marginality that a prolonged or
expansive blanket headline is not warranted at this writing.
