5-Day Outlook

As we head into late August we see a gradual decrease in climatological normal high temperatures. We're not seeing much of a cooling trend in forecast highs this week, but we'll get there!

Mostly sunny skies are expected along the middle Texas coast today with high temperatures in the upper 80s to around 90 at area beaches. There is a low risk for rip currents, but low risk does not mean no risk. Use caution if entering the water.

Partly cloudy, warm and humid conditions are on repeat tonight with lows in the upper 70s to lower 80s.

Hot and dry conditions are in the forecast through the weekend and into next week. Seasonal temperatures are expected.
