DISCUSSION

Issued at 133 AM CDT Fri Jul 24 2026

Bertha has been downgraded to a Tropical Depression last evening and continues to weaken as it tracks westward across southeast Texas, with the system expected to dissipate on Friday. Across South Texas, lingering low-level moisture associated with the remnant circulation will support a few showers over the Rio Grande Plains through Friday morning before precipitation chances come to an end. Otherwise, weak surface high pressure and modest mid-level ridging will gradually become established across the region, promoting mostly clear to partly cloudy skies and a return to a more typical summertime pattern.

With rain chances diminishing quickly after Friday morning, dry conditions are expected through the remainder of the forecast period. Temperatures will slowly climb through the weekend and continue warming into early next week, with heat indices supporting a moderate HeatRisk for most locations. The HeatRisk gradually increases through the week, with portions of our CWA reaching major HeatRisk by early next week. No other hazardous weather is anticipated besides the heat.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 624 AM CDT Fri Jul 24 2026

Convection has moved off to the west of all terminals this morning and expect mainly dry conditions across the area today. LIFR CIGS are noted at ALI at this time with VIS restrictions as well. Mainly VFR to MVFR conditions at other sites. All sites return to VFR late this morning and persist through the evening. Have noted MVFR CIGS for ALI tonight but VFR for other sites for now.

MARINE

Issued at 133 AM CDT Fri Jul 24 2026

A moderate to fresh onshore breeze (BF 3-4) will decrease to gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) Saturday through much of next week becoming fresh at times. Expecting mainly dry conditions and calmer seas behind Bertha as it has moved inland and has dissipated Thursday night. Seas will continue to diminish with wave heights of 2-3 ft next week for much of the forecast period.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 133 AM CDT Fri Jul 24 2026

No elevated fire weather concerns are expected through the forecast period. Dry conditions return after Friday morning as min. RH values gradually fall into the mid to upper 20% range across the western Brush Country by Monday, with values 30-40% across the eastern Brush Country and the Coastal Plains. However, light 20-foot winds generally below 15 mph and ERC values remaining around the 30th percentile or lower, with only isolated higher values near the 50th percentile over the northwest Brush Country by the middle of next week, should preclude any significant fire weather concerns.
