KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 614 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2026

- Moderate to major risk of heat-related impacts next week, with peak heat indices 110 to 115.

- Near 0% PoPs are expected mid-week, with slightly higher chances on Friday.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 124 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2026

Radar is more active this afternoon with scattered showers and thunderstorms ongoing over the Victoria Crossroads. This activity will continue to move inland and dissipate as daytime heating diminishes this evening. The upper-level picture will begin to shift this week as the Four Corners ridge migrates east, settling over SE CONUS by Friday. Subsidence aloft will stifle seabreeze convection through the week, but some mid-level energy may round the ridge on Friday and increase chances slightly.

The song remains the same regarding daily temperatures, with low to mid 90s near the coast, and triple digits west of Highway 281. Increasing low-level moisture will raise dew points near 80 degrees along the Coastal Bend, bringing heat indices up to 110-115 areawide. This corresponds to moderate to major HeatRisk (level 2-3) across the CWA through Friday. A Heat Advisory may be needed on Tuesday, and an issuance is likely on Wednesday. If working outside for extended periods, remember to drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks in shade or A/C.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 614 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2026

A few showers/storms noted west of Cotulla at issuance time, but otherwise no convection across the region. These storms will stay west of Cotulla and dissipate over the next couple of hours. Once again expect mainly VFR conditions through the period with just a few low CU overnight Rain chances on Tuesday are slim as high pressure builds over the region. Wind gusts will be strong once again in the afternoon Tuesday.

MARINE

Issued at 124 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2026

Light to moderate onshore breezes will increase to a more moderate breeze, with periods of fresh breezes on Tuesday through the end of the week. Waves generally 2 to 3 feet with a short interval of 4 to 5 feet late Wednesday into early Thursday. PoPs will remain very low (0-5%) throughout the remainder of the forecast.
