KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 121 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

- Low to medium (20-50%) rain chances return today and continue each afternoon through the end of the week.

- Marginal risk of excessive rainfall over portions of the area Thursday through Saturday.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 121 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

Moisture will continue to stream into the area this week, with PWAT values approaching 2" by Thursday. Some of the guidance has PWAT values exceeding 2" Friday afternoon through Saturday. This moisture will combine with the afternoon seabreeze each afternoon to initiate showers and thunderstorms. Meanwhile, mid-level low developing off the southern California coast will eject shortwave energy toward South Texas as it moves east. These shortwaves will enhance convection, particularly late Thursday through Saturday, leading to a period of potentially heavy rainfall. Due to this and areas with saturated soils, WPC has included the Brush Country and western Coastal Plains in a Marginal Risk for Excessive Rainfall beginning Thursday. The mid-level low will move north of the area Friday and Saturday, further enhancing rainfall. The Marginal Risk for Excessive Rainfall will expand to cover all of South Texas for Friday, before receding to the northern counties for Saturday.

Temperatures will stay in the 80s and 90s, but with high moisture values, heat indices between 100-105. This will lead to minor to moderate heat stress conditions. This could be reduced slightly should cloud cover or rainfall keep temperatures a little lower than currently forecast.

As mentioned in previous forecasts, a high risk of rip currents and, perhaps, minor coastal flooding are possible late this week. Confidence in this low but guidance continues to indicate swell periods increasing to 8-9 seconds.

AVIATION
