Excessive Rainfall Possible for the Gulf Coast and Florida; October Heat Wave in California

A slow moving front will be the focus area for heavy to excessive rainfall and a threat for flash/urban flooding across parts of the Gulf Coast into central/northern Florida early this week. Abnormally hot, potentially record-breaking, temperatures will continue for southern California and stretch north toward the Bay Area and Central Valley this week. Read More >

5-Day Outlook

Thanks to 20-25 kt NE winds and 5-7 ft seas, Small Craft Advisory conditions will continue through Monday afternoon. Additionally, waves are starting to reach the dunes on Gulf-facing beaches due to the NE flow and tidal influence, leading to the issuance of a Coastal Flood Advisory through 7 PM Tuesday.

The WPC has placed coastal areas south of Rockport under a Slight Risk (level 2 of 4) of flash flooding given the forecast for ongoing rain chances.. Remember to slow down if driving across wet roadways and always remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown!

The National Hurricane Center is closely monitoring a broad area of low pressure near the Bay of Campeche for tropical development. Latest outlook calls for a near 0% chance of development over the next two days and a 30% chance of development in the next 7 days. As of now, no impacts are currently expected in South Texas from this system.

A lingering boundary is slowly pushing eastward today. This will continue rain chances along the coastal areas through the day. Given the recent rainfall and plenty of moisture to wring out, a Slight risk of flash flooding (level 2 of 4) is in place south of Rockport. If you come across a flooded roadway, remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown!

Rain chances continue along the coast today. There's a low risk for rip currents today but low risk does not mean no risk. Dangerous rip currents are possible especially near piers and jetties.

There will be scattered showers on and off throughout the night. Winds will become more north-northeasterly at 15 to 20 mph (and closer to 20 mph on the barrier islands). Lows will be in the upper 60s to mid 70s.

Rain chances along the coastline come to an end by Tuesday with drier air trying to push into South Texas, but by the latter-half of the work week, a system, and the return of Gulf moisture, will bring back low to moderate rain chances.
