DISCUSSION
Issued at 1217 PM CDT Mon Mar 16 2026
Dry air will continue funneling in behind the trough that brought last nights cold front as it ejects over East CONUS. Gusty winds will continue to lessen through this afternoon, becoming around 5-10 mph overnight. Dry air and gusty winds support critical fire weather conditions through this evening, with a Red Flag Warning in place until 7 PM. Tomorrow, gentler winds preclude issuance of a Red Flag Warning, but a Fire Danger Statement may be necessary with minimum relative humidity less than 20% in Jim Hogg and Zapata County (less than 30% inland).
At local South Texas beaches, you will find hazardous swimming conditions for the remainder of Monday and Monday night. There is a High Surf Advisory and High Risk of Rip Currents through 7 AM Tuesday morning.
Below average temperatures Tuesday, with morning lows in the 40s across much of the area, and around 50 in the low-mid RGV and along the coast. Tuesday highs forecast to be a touch warmer than Monday's in the low to mid 70s across deep South Texas. Winds begin to shift easterly, returning to southerly by midweek, breezy each afternoon. Ridging in the desert southwest will build through the week, returning above-normal high temperatures late week through the weekend.
