The combination of persistent onshore flow and long period swells has increased the risk for dangerous Rip currents along the Middle Texas Coast. Use extreme caution if entering the water. This risk will continue through all day Saturday, and could persist through Sunday.

Persistent southeast winds at 20-25 kt gusting up to 30 kt, and waves at 5-7 ft continue Small Craft conditions being observed in the western Gulf. A Small Craft Advisory has been extended through at least Saturday evening. Exercise caution if boating during this period.

Breezy and persistent southeast winds will result in 5-7 wave heights throughout the day. Expect partly sunny skies and a LOW risk of rip currents today, with a MODERATE risk on Saturday. Please use caution if entering the water, especially near piers and jetties where the threat is the greatest.

Temperatures will climb into the upper 90s to low 100s across the Brush Country, with locations in the Victoria Crossroads climbing into the upper 80s. Breezy southeast winds will lead to loose items blowing in the wind.

Cloud coverage increases through the night while remaining breezy. Low temperatures will be in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Isolated showers in the northern Brush Country on Saturday, will increase in coverage throughout South Texas in the upcoming week. Daily chances for showers and thunderstorms will keep high temperatures generally in the 80s and low 90s.
