Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1101 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026
New DISCUSSION, MARINE
KEY MESSAGES
- Increasing heat risk is forecast as the week progresses.
- High risk of rip currents will persist through tonight, with risk levels fluctuating between moderate and high through the week.
- Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorm chances, mostly during the afternoon hours, will continue this week.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 1037 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026
Tranquil conditions are expected for the rest of tonight with clear to partly cloudy skies and light southeasterly winds. The low temperatures overnight into early Tuesday morning will be in the lower to mid 70s for most inland areas and the upper 70s to lower 80s for the Houston Metro area and coastal locations.
There will be two features that will allow us to remain closer to drier conditions rather than the active weather pattern we had experienced last week. The first one is a board mid-level high pressure meandering over Texas and Louisiana. The second one is an upper-level high pressure anchored over the Mexico region. Both of these will help limit rain development through at least the end of the work week. Now, we will still have sufficient moisture, diurnal heating, and instability for a few showers and thunderstorms to be able to develop, particularly along and near the seabreeze during the afternoon to early evening hours. We might also see some streamer showers move into our coastal locations in the mornings.
And...It's summer in Houston! So we will likely see the typical pattern of hot days and warm nights. Look for highs peaking in the lower 90s for most inland portions and the upper 80s to lower 90s along the coasts and lows in the mid to upper 70s inland and upper 70s to lower 80s along the coasts. We will have increased heat risk this week as heat indices peak in the lower 100s for most of Southeast Texas through the upcoming weekend. Continue to practice heat safety to protect yourself, loved ones, and pets from the heat. If you plan to spend time or work outdoors, make sure to take breaks from the heat/sun often, drink plenty of water, and wear appropriate clothing. Never leave children, vulnerable adults, or pets unattended in a vehicle.

Issued at 532 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026
Sparse showers will taper off this evening with winds becoming light and variable overnight. MVFR CIGS/Decks fill in again overnight into the early morning hours of Tuesday. Could see some isolated, brief instances of IFR CIGs during this early morning period as well. Otherwise FLs will return to VFR levels by Tuesday afternoon as south/southeast winds strengthen. Some sparse, light showers could develop along the sea breeze during the late afternoon. Included mentions of showers for areas south of I-10 where confidence is greater, though coverage will likely be sparse, much like today. Showers taper off in the evening with winds becoming light/variable again Tuesday night.

MARINE
Issued at 1037 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026
Light to occasionally moderate onshore winds are expected through the next several days. Winds could reach Exercise Caution levels at times. Seas will generally range between 2 and 3 feet nearshore and 3 to 5 feet offshore. Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms can be expected daily, with increasing chances expected during the upcoming weekend. There will also be a moderate to high risk of rip currents along the Gulf facing beaches.
