5-Day Outlook

Thanks to 20-25 kt NE winds and 5-7 ft seas, Small Craft Advisory conditions will continue through Monday evening. 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 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 70% chance of development in the next seven days (30% in the next two days). At this time, any potential impacts to South Texas would be for increased tides and a higher risk for rip currents.

A cloudy start to the day will gradually transition to more partly cloudy skies. That said, it will be a breezy beach day. 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.

Clouds decrease throughout the night. Winds will be northerly at 5-10 mph but increasing to 10-15 mph along the coastal plains (and closer to 20 mph on the barrier islands). Lows will be in the upper 60s to mid 70s.

The first half of the work week starts of with quieter weather but depending on the disturbance near the Bay of Campeche will determine rain chances by Thursday and Friday.
