Updated at 619 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2026

DISCUSSION

Issued at 132 PM CDT Thu Jul 2 2026

Ridging over the eastern CONUS will keep South Texas in a warm, humid pattern over the next several days. Persistent south- southeasterly flow will continue to transport Gulf moisture inland, while weak disturbances rotating around the western periphery of the ridge move across the region. Although large-scale forcing will remain limited due to the subsident nature of the ridge, these small impulses combined with the afternoon seabreeze will be enough to support isolated showers and thunderstorms each afternoon, with the greatest coverage focused across the Coastal Plains where moisture is greatest.

Temperatures will remain near to slightly above normal throughout the period, with afternoon highs generally reaching the 90s inland and the mid to upper 80s along the immediate coast. The combination of hot temperatures and abundant low-level moisture will continue to result in peak heat indices between 100-110 deg F. Residents and visitors planning outdoor activities through the holiday weekend should take appropriate precautions by staying hydrated and taking frequent breaks in shaded or air conditioned locations.
