DISCUSSION

Issued at 125 PM CDT Mon Aug 31 2026

Warm and dry conditions are expected across the majority of South Texas this week, with the exception being parts of the Victoria Crossroads. Potential Tropical Cyclone 5 is expected to move west- northwest to northwest towards the Upper Texas Coast. Locally, we are not expected to see any impacts from this system with the exception of an isolated to scattered shower or two across parts of the Victoria Crossroads. What we will see are hot conditions. Warm and moist air will promote heat index values around 110 degrees each afternoon with a moderate to extreme heat risk threat. If working outdoors, make sure to take frequent breaks and hydrate adequately.
