KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 630 AM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026

- Moderate risk of heat-related impacts into early next week, afternoon heat indices of 100-110 degrees

- Daily spotty streamer showers and a few thunderstorms over the Coastal Plains

DISCUSSION

Issued at 120 AM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026

There will be a low chance for showers and thunderstorms across the Coastal Plains each afternoon through Saturday along the sea breeze. As we head into next week, a mid-level ridge is expected to develop which will maintain our rain chances on the lower end.

Above normal temperature combining with ample low-level moisture will promote heat index values between 100-110 degrees through the weekend and into early next week. Please use caution if you are working or playing outside or spending time outdoors for Independence Day. Take plenty of breaks, drink water, and don't forget sunscreen (and mosquito repellent).

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 630 AM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026

Currently have a mix of IFR to VFR conditions across South Texas terminals. A cloud deck with OVC003 currently over Hebbronville is moving towards ALI but am not confident it will make it before burning off this morning. Therefore have introduced SCT003 into TAF for ALI. Otherwise, no changes to the forecast so have maintained VCSH today and MVFR conditions for tonight's period.

MARINE

Issued at 120 AM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026

Gentle to moderate south to southeasterly breeze (BF 3-4) will persist into early next week. There will be very low rain chances daily into early next week.
