Aviation... 
VFR conditions are expected at the metroplex sites through 00z 
Monday. Some 5-6sm br and scattered-bkn015 are possible at Waco between 11 
and 14z...otherwise VFR conditions are expected there too. We will 
remain under the ridge aloft...so hot and rain free weather will 
prevail. South winds of 5 to 10 knots overnight will increase to 
10 to 15 knots Sunday morning. #58

Previous discussion... /issued 333 PM CDT Sat Jul 26 2008/ 
the heat wave will continue across North Texas through next week 
as large scale high pressure remains parked over the Lone Star 
state. There should be an ever so slight cool down from the middle 
of the week through the weekend as the ridge axis shifts west. 


Yesterday the European model (ecmwf) was bringing northwest flow back to the 
region by the end of the week while the GFS maintained the ridge. 
Today the European model (ecmwf) maintains the ridge and the GFS develops 
northwest flow aloft and even brings some left over energy and 
moisture from Dolly across the northwest portion of North Texas by 
Thursday. Am still very reluctant to introduce any probability of precipitation at this time due 
to the models run to run inconsistency so will hold off. 


The next few days should be the hottest this Summer with near 
record high temperatures approaching 105. Overnight lows will only 
cool into the middle and upper 70s with even a few lower 80s in 
urban areas. We will issue a heat advisory for Sunday and Monday 
for about the northern half of North Texas with a likely extension 
into Tuesday. Overnight low temperatures across the southern sections 
should be below heat advisory criteria...although locations near 
the Interstate 35 corridor from Waco to Cleburne will be close. 
Therefore...we may have to expand the advisory southward on Sunday.
