KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 616 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026

- Moderate to Major HeatRisk across South Texas this week

- High rip current risk tonight dropping to a moderate risk Tuesday

- Moderate to High Rip Current Risk and minor coastal flooding possible later in the week or weekend.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 129 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026

Mid level high pressure will build across S TX leading to drier and warmer conditions through the work week.

Rain chances will not completely go away due to sufficient low level moisture with PWATs 1.8-2.0 inches. Thus, isolated showers or thunderstorms will remain possible along the coast each morning and the sea breeze each afternoon, but the chances remain low (5-15%). Convective activity is progged to increase this weekend due to an inverted trough moving west across S TX on the southern periphery of the high pressure, but still looks to be isolated with chances ranging from 10-20%.

Due to the ridging aloft and drier conditions, temperatures will be warmer than normal. Heat indices are expected to be 100-110 degrees leading to a moderate risk of heat related impacts. Brief major risk will be possible across the Brush Country later this week.

The rip current risk remains high tonight, becoming moderate Tuesday, generally low the remainder of the week. Swell periods are expected to increase the end of the week, which coincides with astronomically higher tides and nearing a new moon. This may result in a high rip current risk, as well as minor coastal flooding.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 616 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026

MARINE

Issued at 129 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026
