Expect above average temperatures through the weekend with some isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. While an isolated shower or storm could occur anywhere in the area, the best chances will be near the coast and over the Gulf.
A high risk of rip currents is in effect through at least Saturday night for Gulf-facing beaches. Numerous, strong, life-threatening rip currents are expected. Remember: Don't swim against the current. If you're caught, swim parallel to the shore, then angle back to the beach.
A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for all of the Southeast Texas coastal Gulf waters. This advisory is in effect through late tonight, expiring at 1 am on October 5th. Mariners should expect seas of 4-6 feet with occasional seas to 6-8 feet, and east winds of 10-20 knots with gusts to 25 knots. Inexperienced mariners and those in smaller vessels should avoid navigating during this time.
Don't expect much change in temperatures next week, with highs near or above average each day. A cold front will approach the region late in the week - and while it may not push through the area, we're expecting some drier air to filter in, which should at least help nights get modestly cooler! We'll also continue to expect isolated to scattered showers and storms each day, with the best chances earlier in the week and closer to the coast.
An extended period of warm weather and below normal rainfall has led to drought expansion across SE Texas with most of the area experiencing Abnormally Dry (D0) conditions with areas generally west of the Brazos Rive in Moderate Drought (D1). Continued drought expansion is expected over the next several weeks.
