MARINE

Issued at 222 AM CDT Fri Mar 20 2026

A gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) south to southeasterly breeze will persist into the middle of next week. Winds will occasionally strengthen to a fresh breeze (BF 5) over the bays and nearshore waters south of Port Aransas this weekend. No rain chances are expected at this time with seas between 2-4 feet.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 222 AM CDT Fri Mar 20 2026

Although winds will remain generally below critical criteria, occasional wind gusts around 20 mph in combination with relative humidity of 15-30% and critically dry fuels over the Brush Country and inland Coastal Plains, will promote elevated fire weather concerns. Since wind gusts probabilities greater than 20 mph is less than 20%, I have held off on issuing any fire products but will need to be monitored. We can expect similar conditions daily into the middle of next week with hottest temperatures nearing 100 degrees occurring this weekend over the Brush Country.
