Heavy to excessive rainfall may produce areas of flooding over southern Texas through Monday morning. Additionally, strong to locally severe thunderstorms may produce isolated damaging winds and maybe a brief tornado across parts of south Texas. Read More >

.MARINE... Wind gusts this afternoon have generally fallen to around or below 15 knots. This lull will ultimately be short-lived, however, as a surface trough develops into a weak cold front and slides offshore this evening. This will result in an increase in gusts over most waterways, generally around 15-25 knots. A second dry front will cross early Monday, with a period of gusts around 25-30 knots expected. Some gusts to near gale-force can't be ruled out. Wind direction will generally be west to southwest this evening, then west to northwest overnight through Monday evening. Winds will gradually subside Monday night, and remain light through Tuesday night varying between southwest and northwest through the period. Wind will become easterly on Thursday and then northerly Thursday night. Small Craft Advisory level winds appear possible in northerly flow Thursday night. Winds will become more northwesterly and perhaps gusty Friday as low pressure moves to the east and southeast. Small craft advisories will be possible once again, if not Gales in the open Chesapeake waters. Update as of: 256 PM EST Sun Nov 8 2026
