- Low chances for rain Thursday night increasing to medium Saturday

- In the absence of rain in the near term, the Heat Risk will be the dominant concern

DISCUSSION

Issued at 147 PM CDT Wed Aug 26 2026

Hot and dry conditions will continue for another day before the rain chances creep into the forecast, mainly across the eastern half. Although a heat advisory currently isn't issued, tomorrow should still be a warm day, however, heat index values are expected to remain below criteria. Remember that cumulative heat stress can result in a higher risk of heat illness. Please use caution if you are spending time outside. Drink plenty of water and take breaks. Don't forget to look before you lock! Low end rain chances (15-30%) will enter the forecast Thursday night with the best chances for rain being Saturday (30-60%) across the Victoria Crossroads. Dry conditions should return by Sunday.

MARINE

Issued at 147 PM CDT Wed Aug 26 2026

A light to moderate (BF 2-4) onshore breeze will continue through the week, with occasional fresh (BF 5) breezes possible during the late afternoon/evening hours, especially south of Port Aransas. Low- end rain chances return north of Port Aransas Thursday night (15-25%) and increasing to medium chances (25-50%) Saturday.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 129 AM CDT Wed Aug 26 2026

ERC values continue to hover near the 90th across much of South Texas (with the exception of the coastal plains). Humidity values will continue to be low, with minimum RH values below 34% over the Coastal Plains and as low as 20-25% across the Brush Country. While winds will remain light in the morning, afternoon winds combined with low humidity will increase the fire risk to elevated conditions, leading to a Fire Danger Statement for the Brush Country this afternoon. Low-end chances for precipitation (20-30%) return to the northern Brush Country and Victoria Crossroads Thursday night, though chances for a wetting rain remain low.
