DISCUSSION

Issued at 131 AM CDT Sat Jul 18 2026

A drier and more stable pattern is expected as a ridge will continue to build over South Texas over the weekend into next week, causing temperatures to be slightly above average and a decrease in cloud coverage. Through early next week, winds are expected to peak in the afternoon (10-15kts), with wind gusts approaching 25 kts. Additionally, in the mid levels, model guidance is showing some energy heading into South Texas. This energy could lead to a slight increase in rain chances on Wednesday. A few sea breeze showers and thunderstorms will be possible.

Heading into midweek, the peak winds look to simmer down a bit, with isolated locations having wind speeds approaching 15kts, with wind gusts topping out at 20kts. Heat index values will range from 104- 109.
