Warm and humid weather returns once again to South Texas with 80s to 90s. This will persist through around midweek ahead of yet another cold front that will swing through the area. An initial boundary will swing through as we head into late Tuesday into early Wednesday bringing increasing rain chances for portions of the area. A secondary surge will push through bringing cooler and drier conditions. This will increase fire weather concerns through the remainder of the week. Will have to continue to monitor if the threat will increase over the region given relative humidity values in the teens. Otherwise, a brief cool down can be expected Thursday before temperatures surge back to well above normal temperatures returning to the area by this weekend.

A gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) southeasterly breeze will persist until Tuesday, with a less than 20% chance for rain across the waters. Winds will increase to a moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) Tuesday ahead of an approaching cold front. Winds will become moderate to strong (BF 5-6) with gusts to near gale (BF 7) possible late Tuesday night into Wednesday as a cold front surges toward the waters. Winds will increase shift to the west and then north as the front pushes across the waters Wednesday to Thursday. Winds will be strong to near gale force (BF 6-7). A low to medium (20-45%) chance of showers and thunderstorms will return Tuesday night and Wednesday as the cold front approaches.
