Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Matagorda, TX

LONG TERM
(Sunday through Thursday)
Issued at 1200 AM CDT Fri May 23 2025

Rain chances will return late Sunday as the ridge axis begins to slide eastward and an upper level trough moves in from the Four Corners. Multiple rounds of embedded shortwaves are expected to move through Southeast Texas over the course of the week, providing multiple opportunities for showers and thunderstorms, including on Memorial Day. A weak frontal boundary will move through Monday/Tuesday, creating a medium chance of showers and thunderstorms. Chances decrease slightly during the rest of the week, with the afternoon hours being the more probable for showers and thunderstorms (likely in association with diurnal heating/seabreeze).

Temperature wise, Sunday into early next week will feature widespread heat indices in the 100=105F range. With this being a holiday weekend, please keep heat safety in mind when planning any outdoor activities. Make sure to stay hydrated, be aware of the signs of heat-related illnesses, and LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK!

Daily chances of rain and cloud cover will help to keep temperatures pretty seasonable through the rest of the week. By midweek, temperatures will be in the upper 80s to low 90s.
