5-Day Outlook

Heat will remain South Texas' primary concern through this week. All are urged to continue to practice heat safety: drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks, limit outdoor exposure, and look before you lock.

Major heat risk today across the Coastal Plains and Brush Country this afternoon as heat indices climb to 110-114°F. A Heat Advisory is in effect from noon to 7 PM this evening as high temperatures combine with high relative humidity. Please practice heat safety!

South to southeasterly winds of 20-25 knots are expected from the Nueces Bay to Baffin Bay out 20 nm from 1 PM to 10 PM today. Smaller vessels should avoid navigating in these conditions, with bays choppy to occasionally rough and seas 2-4 feet over the open waters.

Scattered showers/storms this morning along the coast will wane and move inland in the afternoon. 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.

Lingering low rain chances over the Brush Country tonight with lows in the mid to upper 70s. Skies then become mostly clear with light southeasterly winds at the surface.

Low rain chances, mainly along the seabreeze, will continue most days into early next week. Heat will remain our greatest concern with max temperatures well into the 90s and in the triple digits inland. Low temperatures provide little to no relief in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
