Two days of heat left.

 Today and tomorrow will be hot and then it's all down hill from Wednesday onwards. 

LONG TERM (Tuesday through Sunday)...
Issued at 233 AM EDT Mon Aug 18 2025

Tuesday and Wednesday...

The greatest and only expected rain chances are early in the period
when an upper wave and cold front move through the region.
Southwesterly surface flow ahead of the system will help to pull
gulf moisture northward. This combined with increasing dynamics
favors scattered to numerous thunderstorms on Tuesday. The greatest
coverage is expected during peak heating when instability is
strongest. Weak deep-layer shear should mostly limit the threat for
severe, but an isolated strong to severe wind gust cannot be ruled
out given strong instability and steep low-level lapse rates.

Deeper moisture and forcing is expected to shift south on Wednesday
resulting in rain chances diminishing. However, daytime heating atop
lingering PBL moisture could promote isolated to widely scattered
convection. Look for hot and humid conditions to persist Tuesday
before temperatures slightly cool off into the 80s Wednesday.

Thursday onward...

Mostly quiet weather conditions are expected late this week through
early next week. Guidance depicts primarily N/NW flow with upper
ridging and surface high pressure providing dry weather through
Friday. An upper wave is then expected to push a dry cold front
through the region late Friday into Saturday. Precipitation is
unlikely due to marginal moisture ahead of the system though it
will bring a noticeable cooldown.

Expect highs generally in the 80s late this week with lower
dewpoints. A more substantial cooldown should occur behind the
aforementioned dry cold front. Most guidance suggest highs will fall
into the upper 70s on Sunday for portions of the area while
widespread highs in the 70s are possible by Monday. Dewpoints are
also likely to drop substantially as drier air advects into the
area, making it feel more like early fall.
