UPDATE

Issued at 457 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

The main update was that WPC has placed portions of the Victoria Crossroads/Brush Country under a Slight Risk (level 2 of 4) for flash flooding. Storms that would be capable are already moving through portions of the area. Additionally, tropical funnels continue to be reported as showers/storms develop. We will continue to monitor these for any additional warnings.

KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 614 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

- Shower/Storm chances through Saturday leading to quick, heavy downpours

- Temperatures trend warmer and Moderate HeatRisk becomes more widespread through the upcoming week

- High Rip Current Risk Saturday/monitoring Coastal Flooding potential

DISCUSSION

Issued at 111 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

A cutoff low over northern Mexico will continue to move east, shifting the focus of precipitation east with it. Showers and thunderstorms are continuing to develop this afternoon over the Brush Country, then move to the north/northeast. Meanwhile, along the coastal counties, moisture convergence is leading to convection. Low to medium (15-40%) rain chances will continue through tonight and early Saturday. PWAT values are still above 2 inches, which means that any showers and storms could produce up to 2 inches of rainfall, with locally higher amounts to 3 inches. WPC has maintained a Marginal Risk (1 of 4) of excessive rainfall for portions of South Texas today.

Rain chances finally begin to diminish Saturday afternoon as the cutoff low fills in and moves toward the Texas Panhandle, dropping from a 20-50% chance to a less than 15% chance, though seabreeze convection will still be possible. High pressure will then settle in for the upcoming week. Temperatures will increase into the 90s, with a moderate heat risk expected each day. Remember to keep practicing heat safety when outdoors, hydrate, and take frequent breaks.

Many folks will want to head to the beach this weekend but there are some particular hazards for the beaches. Long period swell and persistent southeasterly winds will lead to a high risk of dangerous rip currents. These conditions could also lead to minor coastal flooding during times of high tides. Beachgoers should use caution when entering the waters and pay attention to the tidal levels.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 614 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

An area of showers and thunderstorms is primarily located across the Brush Country W of KALI. This will continue to generally lift northward through the evening with shower/storm activity becoming scattered in the Victoria Crossroads through the evening. This will bring reductions in VIS/CIGs in a storm. Otherwise, MVFR CIGs return overnight with VFR conditions returning after 18Z Friday along with sustained southeasterly winds increasing to 10-15 kts through the end of the TAF cycle.

MARINE

Issued at 111 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

Expect gentle to moderate southeasterly winds with 3-4 ft seas. These increase to moderate to fresh southeast winds and 4-5 ft on Sunday. Expect low-end (20-40% chance) daily showers/thunderstorms through the weekend with lower chances for the upcoming week.
