KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 124 PM CDT Sun May 24 2026

- Another round of storms mid-week.

- Flooding potential remains through midweek. Slight Risk (2 out of 5) for flash flooding for most of the area.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 124 PM CDT Sun May 24 2026

A few showers and storms continue along the coast today associated with a weak boundary stretching from the Texas coast to the Louisiana coast. This activity will continue for a few more hours, mainly in the Southern Coastal Bend.

As we head through tomorrow a cut-off low over Texas will push out to the east with a very brief and small ridge for Tuesday. A few sea breeze showers/storms will be possible Tuesday, but most locations should be dry. By Tuesday night, our next upper system will be approaching and bringing the next chance of showers and storms as PWAT values increase once again to well above normal levels, possibly topping 2 inches. We will have to watch for some quick flash flooding with any slow moving storms or just extended periods of rain. Three hour flash flood guidance currently sits between 2 and 3 inches over most of the area, and will probably inch up just a bit before Tuesday, but high rain rates with the very high deep moisture can lead to faster impacts. Rainfall totals through the mid-week period are forecast generally 1-2 inches, but localized higher amounts would be possible.

Once we get through mid-week, a more substantial mid-level ridge builds through the end of the week. After below normal temperatures early in the week we will see a gradual warming to bring temps back to around normal by late week.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 124 PM CDT Sun May 24 2026

A few thunderstorms noted near the CRP terminal this afternoon. Have included VC with tempo TSRA for this site only. Low chance a cell or two could approach ALI, but expect ALI and other sites to be mainly convection-free. CIGS have been in and out of MVFR conditions for many sites this morning, but expect mainly VFR conditions through the rest of the day, outside of brief MVFR with storms near CRP. Think most sites will drop to MVFR overnight as well. Tempo west and prevailing east. VFR conditions return tomorrow.

MARINE

Issued at 124 PM CDT Sun May 24 2026

Gentle to moderate east to northeast winds will prevail today through Monday. Winds will shift back to the east and southeast by Monday night into Tuesday and strengthen to a moderate to fresh breeze by Tuesday night. Another round of storms is expected Tuesday and Wednesday.
