KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 1246 PM CDT Sat Jun 27 2026
* Hot conditions continue through the next week. Heat indices between 100 and 110 degrees will lead to Moderate (level 2 of 4) Heat Risk each day.
* Generally rain free conditions are expected, though could see some isolated sea breeze activity, mainly mid to late week.
* There is a Moderate Risk of life-threatning rip currents at area beaches, likely through much of the week.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 1246 PM CDT Sat Jun 27 2026
Hot and rain free conditions will prevail across Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley into next week. A mid/upper high will remain overhead through early next week before beginning to lift northeast.
Temperatures will rise to the mid to upper 90s each day, with a few triple digits possible across the upper Valley/Rio Grande Plains.
Heat indices will be generally between 100 and 110 degrees each day, thus no heat advisories are anticipated at this time. This will maintain a Moderate Heat Risk(level 2 of 4) each day over the next week.
Though we will remain generally rain free, as the aforementioned mid/upper level high begins to move northeast midweek bringing back low chances of sea breeze activity later in the week.
Breezy conditions will continue into early week due to an enhanced surface pressure gradient.
While the overall rip current risk is moderate through much of the week, strong longshore currents through the weekend can quickly push swimmers up the beach and into rip currents. For more information you can visit www.weather.gov/bro/surfmatrices.
