KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 231 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2026

- Warm temperatures and elevated heat risk returns next week

- Rain chances return Tuesday, mainly across the Victoria Crossroads

DISCUSSION

Issued at 231 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2026

Warm and dry conditions are expected across the majority of South Texas this week, with the exception being the Victoria Crossroads. As the tropical disturbance across the northern Gulf continues moving west-northwest ward, warm moist air will advect into the region. This will promote heat index values of 109-111 degrees and moderate to extreme levels of heat risk. If the tropical disturbance was to get better organize and strengthen (currently 50% chance for the next 48 hours), it can become a short-lived tropical depression or tropical storm. As of this moment, no direct impacts are anticipated except for medium (40-60%) chances for showers and thunderstorms across the Victoria Crossroads.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 231 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2026

VFR conditions are generally expected throughout this TAF cycle. Winds will light overnight and gusting to 15-20 knots in the afternoon.

MARINE

Issued at 231 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2026

Light to gentle onshore breezes through the week will continue with afternoons reaching more moderate strength for inland bays and waterways and generally 1-2 ft seas. There will be daily chances for isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms in the open waters through the week, with the best chances across the northern offshore marine zones.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 143 AM CDT Sun Aug 30 2026

Minimum relative humidity values will generally drop to 30% most afternoons with Energy Release Component values hovering in the 70th- 89th percentile. This will keep the fire risk elevated but limited by weak afternoon winds (which pick up to 10-15 mph in the overnight hours across the Brush Country). Gulf moisture increases by mid- week, increasing daily seabreeze shower chances through the latter half of the week.
