AUGUST, WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES RANGING FROM 100 TO 110 DEGREES
EACH AFTERNOON.

DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1235 PM CDT THU AUG 7 2025
NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES, ELEVATED HUMIDITY,
AND LOW (AROUND 20-30% OR LESS) RAIN CHANCES WILL BE THE MAIN
WEATHER CONCERNS ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS THROUGH MID WEEK NEXT
WEEK. MID LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN CENTERED OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, PLACING DEEP SOUTH TEXAS WITHIN
THE SOUTHEASTER PERIPHERY OF RIDGING ALOFT. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN
GENERALLY RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF DIURNALLY DRIVEN
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE SEA BREEZE THROUGH FRIDAY,
WITH SLIGHTLY MORE COVERAGE HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND AS A WEAKNESS
ALOFT APPROACHES THE TEXAS COAST. PRECIPITATION CHANCES ARE
LIMITED TO AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF US-281 THROUGH FRIDAY, AND
MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE PRIMARY THREATS WITH ANY
THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIGHTNING, GUSTY WINDS, AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.
HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND, MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THERE MAY BE A
SLIGHT UPTICK IN PRECIPITATION ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE REGION AS A
WEAK MID LEVEL TROUGH TRANSLATES TOWARDS THE TEXAS COAST. THE
COMBINATION OF WEAK FORCING FOR ASCENT, HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT VIA
WELL ESTABLISHED LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW, AND
DIURNAL INSTABILITY WILL ALLOW FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE LATE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON HOURS EACH DAY THIS WEEKEND. THE HIGHEST MOISTURE
CONTENT IS EXPECTED TO RESIDE ALONG AND EAST OF I-69E, AND MAY
RESULT IN POCKETS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WITHIN ROBUST SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS. AS THIS FEATURE EXITS THE AREA, ANY PRECIPITATION
THAT DEVELOPS THROUGH THE WEEK NEXT WEEK WILL ONCE AGAIN BE
INFLUENCED BY THE SEA BREEZE.
OTHERWISE, EXPECT TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT INDEX VALUES RANGING FROM 100
TO 110 DEGREES EACH AFTERNOON. A MODERATE HEAT RISK CONTINUES
THROUGH MID WEEK NEXT WEEK FOR MOST OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1235 PM CDT THU AUG 7 2025
VFR WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AT ALL TAF SITES AS
THE REGION REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE. SOUTHEAST
WINDS AROUND 10 TO 15 KNOTS WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 20 KNOTS ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS BEFORE WINDS FALL BELOW 10
KNOTS TONIGHT.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 1235 PM CDT THU AUG 7 2025
GENERALLY FAVORABLE MARINE CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHEAST WINDS AND LOW TO
MODERATE SEAS. LOW PRECIPITATION CHANCES (20-30%) WILL EXIST EACH
DAY OVER THE GULF WATERS. EXPECT LOCALLY ENHANCED WINDS AND SEAS
WITHIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
