Extended Forecast

Breezy winds are expected ahead of our next frontal passage tomorrow, with the strongest winds in the bays and nearshore waters south of Port Aransas. A Small Craft Advisory will be in effect this afternoon into the early overnight hours for that area.

A cold front arriving on Saturday will bring a switch to northerly winds, cooler air, and our next chances for rain.

There is a LOW risk of rip currents at local beaches today. A low risk does not mean no risk. Rip currents can sweep even this best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

Partly cloudy skies are expected tonight with mild lows in the 70s. Southeasterly winds will remain elevated overnight at 15-25 mph. Gusts could reach up to 30 mph at times.

A cool down will be in the cards this weekend as a cold front is forecast to make it's way through South Texas. Low to medium chances for rain accompany this frontal passage beginning Saturday.
