Tonight

Breezy and very dry conditions will overspread South Texas Saturday in the wake of a cold front. Relative humidity values will dip to 10 to 25 percent along with wind gusts 15 to 25 mph will result in a Critical Fire Danger Saturday. Thus a Red Flag Warning has been issued from 9am to 8pm.

Another cold front is forecast to push through late Friday night into Saturday. Surface high pressure then centers over South Texas Saturday night into Sunday morning, which will provide an efficient radiational cooling event with light northeasterly winds and clear skies. This will lead to early Sunday morning having our coldest lows this season, with much of inland South Texas in the 30s and our northern tier counties from northern Webb to Victoria containing a medium to high (40-70%) chance of reaching freezing. No precipitation is expected with this event.

A developing low-pressure system and frontal pattern over the western Gulf will bring increased rain chances to southern and coastal Texas beginning next Tuesday. Forecast models indicate an unusually high amount of atmospheric moisture for this time of year, which will support periods of rain, especially closer to the coast. Current projections suggest rainfall totals around 0.5 to 1.0 inch, with isolated locations potentially receiving higher amounts. Some uncertainty remains, and rainfall totals may change as the event approaches. Forecasts will continue to be updated as trends become clearer.

Cooler temperatures are coming to South Texas soon! A cold front will bring cold wind chills to the area this weekend and early next week. Remember to dress in layers to help stay warm.

A cold front moving through tonight will bring strong northeasterly winds to the area tomorrow including marine locations. A small craft advisory is in effect from midnight tonight through Sunday morning. Expect strong winds 20-30 kts with gusts to 35 knots and very rough seas.

There is a LOW risk of rip currents along our area beaches today, but remember to use caution when entering the waters. The high temperature will be in the 70s, with water temperatures in the mid 60s.

It will be clear and cool tonight with lows in the 40s and 50s across the area. Winds will shift to the north tonight as a cold front moves through the area.
