KEY MESSAGES

- Major to moderate flooding continues for the Nueces River at Asherton river gauge through at least Saturday morning.

- A few isolated showers today; otherwise dry and hot conditions expected into next week.

SHORT TERM

(Tonight through Saturday night) Issued at 1228 PM CDT Fri Jul 24 2026

Some lingering moisture from the already decayed Bertha may allow for a few isolated showers to develop today mainly over the Coastal Plains or I-35 corridor. However, given the isolated nature of any activity rain chances remain below 15 percent. Otherwise, dry and hot conditions are seen although highs should be roughly 5 degrees below those realized yesterday. With elevated humidity this afternoon, heat index values will still be up to 100-106 for a majority of the area. Southeasterly wind will be breezy at times through the evening, then lighter wind returns overnight. Lows dip into the low to mid 70s across the area with some areas of low clouds expected by tomorrow morning. Clouds scatter Saturday afternoon with another seasonably hot day for late July. Highs will be in the 90s with heat index values around 100-104 degrees.

LONG TERM

(Sunday through next Friday) Issued at 1228 PM CDT Fri Jul 24 2026

Persistent mid-level ridging keeps the forecast hot and dry in the long term period. In the lower levels, a light to moderate southerly flow will continue aiding in a slight warm up towards the middle of next week. We'll mainly see high temperatures in the mid and upper 90s Sunday but as the week progresses except to see more widespread highs from 100-102 degrees. Low temperatures each day will be in the 70s. With a drier airmass in place, mostly sunny skies will be the norm.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1205 PM CDT Fri Jul 24 2026

Low stratus have been pesky this morning but should continue to break up and trend VFR through the remainder of the afternoon. Winds will spike up to 10-15kts with occasional gusts mixed in above 20 kts, particularly at AUS and DRT. South to southeasterly winds can be expected through the forecast period. Low stratus is expected to return again tonight, but should remain east of DRT. AUS, SAT, and SSF have a high likelihood of MVFR ceilings from 08Z through 15Z. VFR returns by mid-morning followed by increasing southerly flow at 10-15 kts once again on Saturday.
