SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Saturday night)
Issued at 218 PM CDT Fri Jul 26 2024
Key Messages:
- Medium to high chance of showers and thunderstorms continues Saturday.
- Marginal to slight risk of excessive rainfall Saturday.
Not much change in the overall pattern expected through Saturday with the upper long wave trough remaining draped from southwest to northeast across Texas. The rain chances will continue to be medium to high (40-75%).
The convection has waned across S TX this afternoon and this trend is expected through the evening hours. With abundant moisture remaining in place, combined with the upper trough, redevelopment of the convection is expected once again across the Coastal Areas overnight into early Saturday morning. The convection is expected to spread west through the day Saturday, then briefly decrease Saturday evening.
PWATs are progged to remain between 2.0-2.4 inches across most of S TX. Given the nearly saturated forecast sounding, heavy rainfall with the potential for flash flooding will continue to be a concern through Saturday. The Weather Prediction Center has the Victoria Crossroads and Coastal Bend in a slight risk of excessive rainfall Saturday. The remainder of S TX is in a marginal risk.
The Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for the Victoria Crossroads southward along the coast to Nueces County through Saturday, and may need to be extended into Sunday given the saturated soils and lower Flash Flood Guidance.
With cloudy skies and showers and thunderstorms, high temperatures will remain below normal through Saturday with a minor risk of heat related impacts expected.
LONG TERM
(Sunday through next Thursday)
Issued at 218 PM CDT Fri Jul 26 2024
Key Messages:
- Marginal risk of excessive rainfall through Sunday.
- Minor to moderate risk of heat related impacts next week.
One last day of heavy rainfall is in store on Sunday as an upper level trough continues to influence the region. Deep tropical moisture will promote periods of potentially heavy rainfall at times. WPC maintains a Marginal Risk of Excessive Rainfall, generally east of I-35, on Sunday. Soils will be very saturated by Sunday so it won't take much to see flooding develop.
Upper level troughing will lift off towards the Midwest early next week as ridging builds in across the Southern Plains. Rain chances quickly drop off on Monday as subsidence takes control of the region and drier air moves in. With that said, we do have some low-end PoPs in on Tuesday afternoon as a weak disturbances rotates around the ridge.
High temps daily will top out in the low 90s to around 100 degrees.
This will lead to heat indices generally in the 105-109 range with a few spots briefly reach 110 at times through the week. The majority of the region will be under a moderate risk of heat-related impacts through next week.

Across the western sites, VFR conditions are expected throughout this TAF cycle. Rain wise, light showers will continue across the eastern sites for the next few hours before the increasing once again tomorrow morning with the chance for thunderstorms. Due to uncertainty on where the thunderstorms may setup, went with tempos at this time.
