5-Day Outlook

The Fire Weather Watch has been upgraded to a Red Flag Warning for all South Texas from 9AM to 9 PM on Sunday. Winds will be gusty out of the N/NE 20-30 mph gusting to 40 mph and relative humidity values will drop to 15-20% behind a frontal passage. Rapidly drying fuels will lead to critical fire weather concerns. Please do your part to reduce open flames/sparks!

With strong winds expected in the wake of the cold front, the Gale Watch has been upgraded to a Gale Warning beginning at 8 AM for the Gulf Waters. Prior to the Gale Warning, a Small Craft Advisory will be in effect from 5 AM this morning to 8 AM (when the Gale Warning begins) for the Gulf waters. For the bays and waterways of South Texas, the Small Craft Advisory will be in effect from 5 AM this morning until at least 6 PM Monday. A small craft advisory will also be needed for tomorrow once the Gale Warning ends (more details on the timing and winds in future forecast packages).

As you might guess, much cooler and seasonal temperatures are expected today in the wake of the front. There is a Red Flag Warning and Wind Advisory in effect for today as well.

A partly cloudy day is in store for those heading to the beach with a MODERATE risk of rip currents. Please continue to use caution if you plan to go to the beach today.

Cooler near normal temperatures return today and hang around for a couple of days. A warming trend will begin Wednesday as above normal temperatures return to the forecast.
