- Major (level 3 of 4) to Extreme (level 4 of 4) Heat Risk is expected throughout much of Deep South Texas through next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1005 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026

Hot temperatures will continue to be the main focus through the forecast period. For the remainder of the Labor Day weekend and into next week, most inland locations will continue to see afternoon highs in triple digits with locations right along the coast remaining in the 90s. Heat indices of 105-110 degrees are expected across the region each afternoon with some locations briefly exceeding 111 degrees. While we generally expect to remain just shy of Heat Advisory criteria each day, Tuesday looks to be the best likelihood for any potential Heat Advisory.

Rain chances will continue into the middle of the week with a 10-25% chance most days, primarily along the sea breeze. Best chance of rain will be on Wednesday where chances increase to 30-40%. Any convection that does develop could produce locally heavy rain, gusty winds, and cloud to ground lighting.

While there is a low risk of rip currents at area beaches, life threatening rips currents often occur near jetties and piers. Use caution if entering the water.
