- High rip current risk through Sunday and low confidence in seeing minor coastal flooding at high tide

DISCUSSION

Issued at 108 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026

The cutoff low continues to move to the northeast and fill, transitioning into a shortwave trough as it moves into the Great Plains. Moisture will continue to stream into the area, keeping moisture high through the profile through at least tonight. CAM guidance seems to be doing fairly well this morning, so feel fairly confident in showers and the occasional thunderstorm over the Coastal Bend and Gulf waters through the afternoon. These are going to be much like the previous days, where we see quick pop-up showers that may have heavy rainfall. Over the rest of the area, rain chances will diminish through the day with partly cloudy skies. High pressure will build into the area tonight through Sunday, limiting our rain chances to generally seabreeze convection.

Temperatures will increase through the week, nearing 100 degrees across the Brush Country by the middle of the week. Widespread heat index values will reach 105-110, which could lead to a Moderate (level 2 of 4) Heat Risk with isolated locations reaching a Major (level 3 of 4) Heat Risk.

With respect to the beach hazards, we will continue to see a high rip current risk through at least Sunday night as the persistent southeasterly wind and increased long period swell increase today. There is still low-confidence on minor coastal flooding during high tide cycles. If the water level reach the vicinity of the dunes, it will likely be short in duration. This will continue to be monitored for any advisory issuances.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 619 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026

VFR conditions prevail through 06Z. Hi-res models are again hinting at scattered showers forming across the Matagorda Bay area after 08Z and elsewhere across the coastal plains after 12Z. Regardless if a shower develops, MVFR conditions brought by CIGs will be prevalent through 18Z, while remaining over the coastal terminals through the TAF cycle. After 18Z, confidence is low about shower/storm location, but general chances are greatest along the coast during the TAF cycle.

MARINE

Issued at 108 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026

A gentle southeasterly breeze today will increase to more moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) starting tonight. Seas near 3 ft today will increase to 4-5 ft tonight and persist into Monday night. Rain chances (20-40% chance) will be greatest across the Coastal Bend and adjacent coastal waters tonight through Monday.
