DISCUSSION

Issued at 209 AM CDT Fri Apr 10 2026

A slow-moving mid-level disturbance over the region will continue to promote unsettled weather across South Texas through much of this weekend as moderate instability interacts with abundant moisture. Today, a moderate chance of showers (45-65%) is expected to taper off overnight with an additional round of activity Saturday mainly over northern and western counties. Dry conditions will return by Monday kicking off a warming trend the rest of next week.

Cloudy skies and precipitation will keep slightly cooler conditions through Saturday with highs in the mid 70s and 80s followed by 90s returning to the forecast early in the work week. Overnight lows in the mid 60s to around 70 degrees will slightly increase to the low to mid 70s across the region next week.

Minor coastal flooding is expected to continue to be an issue during times of high tide through the weekend. Guidance continues to be underdone in this regard suggesting water levels around 1.5 ft MSL and the latest levels are trending 1.0 ft above predicted. Have opted to hold off on an advisory for now but will let the day shift monitor conditions and issue it if necessary.
