.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 1202 AM CDT Tue Jul 8 2025

- Scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected each
  day through this week.

- Isolated strong thunderstorms will lead to gusty winds and localized
  downpours. If more than one of these storms moves over the same
  area, or happens to fall over an area of poor drainage, then
  minor street flooding/ponding will be possible.

- Near seasonal temperatures will persist, but seasonal this time
  of year is still hot. Make sure to take breaks if working
  outside and stay hydrated.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1202 AM CDT Tue Jul 8 2025

Weak troughing aloft, daytime heating, and PWATs near 2" will lead
to continued daily rain chances through at least Thursday, but
possibly beyond. What we experienced earlier today (showers and
storms popping up along the coast in the morning, then spreading
inland through the day with isolated downpours) will be the template
through the week with each day having a fairly similar set-up. Not
everyone will get rainfall every day, but where the rain falls it
could be heavy (a very realistic scenario is you have no rain
through the day, but your neighbors just a few streets over could
see an inch or two). Coverage of the showers and thunderstorms may
be less starting on Friday as the upper-level trough begins to
weaken and PWATs lower slightly, but some guidance continues the
upper-level troughing through the weekend.

Temperatures through the week will be fairly seasonal, but seasonal
in July is still quite warm. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s
inland through Wednesday, then some spots possible reaching the
upper 90s by the weekend as rain chances diminish. Overnight lows
will be in the mid to upper 70s inland, and low 80s along the coast.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1202 AM CDT Tue Jul 8 2025

It will be a bit of a rinse and repeat pattern this week with
shower and thunderstorms possible each day. Some isolated showers
will develop near daybreak over the Gulf waters, then scattered
showers and thunderstorms expanding into the Bays during the late
mornings and afternoons. Light to moderate winds and low seas are
expected through Wednesday with occasionally higher gusts up to 15
to 20 knots are possible. Winds and seas may increase towards the
end of the week.
