Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine is expected to intensify into a hurricane by Wednesday. As the system moves northward across the eastern Gulf of Mexico, long period swells can make their way to the Middle Texas Coast resulting an increased risk of rip currents, dangerous marine conditions and coastal flooding.
Expect another warm day across the region with highs generally in the 90s along with a southeasterly wind. Heat indices will climb into the 100-105 range which will promote a minor to moderate heat risk this afternoon. There will be an isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible today along the Coastal Bend into the Victoria Crossroads.
Mostly clear and warm today across area beaches with a light southeasterly wind and low chance for isolated thunderstorms. There is a LOW risk of rip currents both today. However, dangerous swimming conditions may still exist, especially near piers and jetties. Be cautious when entering the water!
Patchy fog will be possible again tonight along the Coastal Plains and Victoria Crossroads with dry conditions aloft and mostly clear skies. Lows will fall into the low to upper 70s with light winds.
Taking a look at the 5-day forecast, rain chances will linger for one more day on Wednesday before we dry out behind a weak cold front. Dry and warm conditions are in store for the rest of the week.
