DISCUSSION
Issued at 125 AM CDT Fri Jul 17 2026
The mid-level low we've been dealing with and that has brought catastrophic flooding to the hill country is very slowly moving off to the west, but is still close enough to provide low end PoPs mainly in the Rio Grande Plains and into northern Brush Country Friday morning. Otherwise, the only real rain chances expected in the next few days are with some moisture convergence/instability aided streamer showers in the mornings.
With building high pressure and decreasing deep moisture levels for the weekend and into early next week, temperatures will be on a slow increase, returning to normal values and a few degrees above. Heat index values will be generally seasonal, ranging between 100 and 105. Heat risk will be generally moderate.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS) Issued at 615 AM CDT Fri Jul 17 2026
VFR conditions prevail across South Texas with passing cirrus clouds as lowering ceilings have remained focused over the Hill Country. Southeasterly winds will strengthen through the day with sustained around 15 knots and gusts around 25 knots before decreasing tonight. There is greater chance for MVFR ceilings to develop late tonight over the Brush Country and inland Coastal Plains, so included a TEMPO near the end over ALI/COT but an expansion may be needed in future forecasts.
MARINE
Issued at 125 AM CDT Fri Jul 17 2026
A mainly moderate onshore flow is forecast for the next few days, but a fresh breeze will develop along the coast south of Port Aransas in the afternoons. By next week, the flow will be moderate for the entire area. Showers and thunderstorm chances are small through the period.
