SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1235 PM CDT MON JUL 7 2025
LOW TO MEDIUM PRECIPITATION CHANCES (20-40%) WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY EVENING ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AS AN INVERTED TROUGH
INTERACTS WITH HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT AND DIURNAL INSTABILITY.
ISOLATED STREAMER SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP EACH MORNING, WITH SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING MORE SCATTERED DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS WITH DAYTIME HEATING. WHILE SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED,
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF GUSTY WINDS AROUND 40 MPH AND
LIGHTNING. ADDITIONALLY, ROBUST SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
CAPABLE OF POCKETS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL GIVEN PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO AROUND 1.8-1.9 INCHES

ISSUED AT 1235 PM CDT MON JUL 7 2025
TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND, PRECIPITATION
CHANCES SHOULD COME TO AN END AS MID-LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS

BREEZE CANNOT BE RULED OUT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS EACH DAY,
CHANCES ARE FAIRLY LOW (10% OR LESS) AT THIS TIME. THE HEAT WILL
BECOME THE MAIN WEATHER STORY AS TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY WARM UP

EARLY TO MID JULY ARE EXPECTED INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH HIGHS IN
THE MID TO UPPER 90S AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 70S TO AROUND 80
