DISCUSSION
Issued at 1121 PM CDT Fri Oct 9 2026

Weather will, for the most part, remain benign through the week with highs in the low 90s and lows in the 60s to low 70s. Onshore winds will begin pulling in moisture Saturday through the end of the week. While SE Texas will remain under the influence of a mid- upper level ridge, some showers could develop along the sea breeze each afternoon as it moves inland.

Beyond day 7, models continue to show a cold front sweeping through SE Texas with cooler temperatures on the horizon. While still pretty far off in the forecast, general timing appears to be next weekend.
