Persistent southeast winds today will lead to choppy to occasionally rough bays and 4-6 ft seas across the Gulf waters. As such, a Small Craft Advisory is now in effect through 1 AM Saturday.
A weekend cold front brings increased rain chances to S TX. Confidence is increasing with a 50-70% chance for greater than 1" of rain, and a 20-40% chance for greater than 2". Soils are very dry and will be able to soak up a lot of the rainfall, but any is desperately needed! South Texas is in a marginal risk for flash flooding Saturday and into Sunday.
Mostly cloudy skies will prevail today with a low (20%) chance of rain across the Coastal Plains today. Winds will be breezy out of the southeast 15-25 mph and higher gusts. Highs will range from around 80 along the coast to the mid 90s over the Rio Grande Plains.
Mostly Cloudy skies with low rain chances (20%) across beaches today with southeasterly winds of around 20 mph and highs in the upper 70s. There is a LOW risk of rip currents. Remember, LOW risk does not mean NO risk; please use caution if entering the waters.
A cold front will push through this weekend, bringing medium to high rain chances. Highs will continue to hit the 80s and 90s until Sunday behind the front where highs plummet into the 60s and lows in the 50s thanks to offshore flow, cloudy skies, and rain chances.
