Hey there Southeast Texas...that's a nice spring you got there! It'd be such a shame if we did a speedrun any% right to summer...and of course we will. The upper level cutoff low that kept temperatures below normal to seasonal over the weekend is on a northeastward trajectory out of here as mid to upper level ridging builds in over the Southern Plains. 500mb heights as of early this morning are around 572-576 dam, but by Wednesday we'll bump those numbers up to 586-588 dam. Pair that with southwesterly flow aloft bringing in 850mb temperatures that will be approaching their MAX percentiles (NAEFS/GEFS) AND southwesterly winds at the surface for portions of the day AND a high sun angle with it being in late spring AND most of that radiation reaching the surface (low cloud coverage in the daytime)...and we have a pretty decent setup for hot temperatures.
Oh yeah...with surface high pressure building into the eastern Gulf onshore flow is back in action, so increasing humidity has been added to the equation!
Temperatures today are expected to reach the low to mid 90s for most of the area with some upper 90s possible in the Brazos Valley. We'll be flirting with record high temperatures today, tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and the...well you get the drift (see the Climate section for the current records). High temperatures on Wednesday will be in the mid to upper 90s with the potential for a couple of spots in the Brazos Valley to reach the 100F mark. The combination of these hot temperatures and elevated humidity means that we'll be monitoring heat indices as well. Heat indices today will be in the upper 90s with a few spots feeling like the triple digits. On Wednesday, it'll feel like the triple digits for most locations along and north of I-10 as heat indices top out in the 101- 105F range. Since this is our first exposure to these kind of temperatures this year, keep in mind that our bodies are yet acclimated. These "shoulder" season events tend to cause spikes in heat-related illnesses, so be sure to take the proper precautions to keep you and your loved ones safe from the heat.
There won't be much relief overnight either as low temperatures only fall into the low to mid 70s. Taking a look at the HeatRisk map, beginning on Wednesday most of Southeast Texas will be in a level 2 out of 4 (moderate heat-related impacts) with some spots reaching a level 3 out of 4 (major heat-related impacts). The map fills in with quite a bit more red (level 3) going into the long term period, so please be sure to freshen up on your heat safety practices. Do you know the signs of heat-related illnesses?

LONG TERM
(Thursday through Monday)
Issued at 312 AM CDT Tue May 13 2025
An omega block pattern will setup over the CONUS through most of the week, leaving SE Texas in a ridge. This will lead to increasing temperatures through the week as 850 mb temperatures climb above the 90th percentile (26-28 C) for Wednesday and Thursday. Surface temperatures will peak in the 94-100F range inland and 84-88F along the coast. In addition to the increase in surface temperatures, onshore flow will result in an increase in humidity. The combination of increasing temperatures and humidity will contribute to heat index values peaking in the 100-105F range. As the pattern begins to transition and the ridge begins an eastward progression, temperatures will lower slightly. Highs will generally be in the 90s inland and in the low to mid 80s along the coast going into the weekend. The area will remain rain-free through the week. Isolated showers will be possible going into the weekend as an upper level low moves into the state.
With heat indices approaching the 100-105F degree range for the first time this season, it is important to be mindful of heat safety. Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day, remember if the pavement is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for your pets' paws, and LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK.

VFR conditions will continue for the remainder of the day and night with variable high cloudiness passing through. Gusty sssw winds 12-25kt will persist thru mid evening. We'll probably lose some of the gustiness overnight, but sw winds around 40kt just above the surface could cause some bumpy conditions and warrant the mention of low level wind shear in the TAFs from roughly 6-15z. Once we get some mixing from mid morning onward we'll probably be able to remove that. 47
MARINE
Issued at 312 AM CDT Tue May 13 2025
Onshore flow continues tonight and increases tomorrow into Wednesday. With rising winds and seas, Small Craft Advisories will likely be warranted at times Tuesday through Thursday. Tides will begin running 1.0-1.5ft above normal, but are not currently expected to pose a coastal flood risk. There will high risks of rip currents along area beaches. Winds and seas slightly decrease near the end of the work week into the upcoming weekend, but would still not anticipate great boating conditions with 15kt winds and 4-5ft seas.
