5-Day Outlook

With the minimum relative humidity values dropping as low as 20-30% across the Brush Country at the same time winds start picking up to near 20 mph (gusting to 30 mph) and in combination of near-critically dry fuels, a Fire Danger Statement will be in effect for the below counties from 1 PM to 9 PM today. Do your part to avoid open flames/sparks.

Students in Aransas Pass, United, and Victoria ISDs return to school today and it is looking to be a hot one today. For those walking home today, make sure to drink plenty of water and treat yourself to an electrolyte drink mix as heat index values will be topping out near 114°F. Study hard kids and have a great school year!

Today will is looking to be another hot one with a breezy S/SE'ly wind. Additionally, the fire risk will be elevated across the Brush Country. Highs will climb into the 90s to the upper 100s with 20-25 mph southeast winds.

Today is looking to be mostly sunny across our area beaches, with an increased wave heights (3-4 ft). There is a low risk of rip currents. However, dangerous swimming conditions are still possible, especially near piers and jetties.

Tonight, winds will remain a bit breezier across the western Brush Country (southeast winds around 20 mph) with partly cloudy skies. Lows will be in the low 80s along the coast and in the upper 70s across much of South Texas.

While we reach major to extreme HeatRisk through Thursday, we'll also stay breezier. Additionally, the fire risk will remain elevated across the Brush Country. We remain under near-zero chances for rain, though Friday will see a limited chance. Stay hydrated and take plenty of AC/shade breaks if spending time outdoors.
