A disturbance will move through South Texas late this afternoon and into tonight bringing scattered to numerous short-lived/persistent intense storms. Greatest threat will be damaging winds and isolated areas of damaging hail. Have many ways to receive alerts and prepare for this evening.

Accompanying the severe weather risks with tonight's storms will be the threat of excessive rainfall, capable of producing localized flooding in the strongest/slow-moving storms. Remember, Turn Around, Don't Drown if roadways are flooded!

There is a LOW risk of rip currents today, accompanied by mostly cloudy skies this afternoon with highs around 80 degrees, and SE winds at 15-20 mph. Inland storms will move toward the coast resulting in gusty conditions in one. Dangerous swimming conditions may be present, especially near piers and jetties. Please be very cautious if entering the waters.

Mostly cloud skies this morning will lead to partial clearing by the afternoon. Today will be a muggy day ahead of storms developing late this afternoon and pushing through South Texas throughout the evening. Make sure to have multiple ways to receive alerts and check the weather before heading out.

A rainy weekend will ease slightly on Sunday before picking up Monday evening and continuing through mid-week. Highs through Monday will generally be in the 80s, but will trend warmer by mid-week.
