DISCUSSION

Issued at 117 PM CDT Thu Oct 29 2026

Moisture from Tropical Storm Vance will continue advecting into the region promoting isolated to scattered showers across the Brush Country. Some showers could be heavy at times which could leading to ponding of water or flash flooding. WPC currently has La Salle and Webb counties under a Marginal Risk of excessive rainfall. We'll dry out this weekend for a warm and humid Halloween before our next cool down early next week. Models continue to trend the frontal passage around Tuesday. There is currently a low to medium chance for showers and thunderstorms across the Coastal Bend and Victoria Crossroads with the best chances across the latter.

Coastal flooding is expected to continue tonight into early tomorrow morning with an elevated risk of rip currents. Water levels are expected to remain below coastal flooding thresholds tomorrow, but we will further evaluate it later tonight and tomorrow morning.
