DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1245 PM CDT SUN OCT 5 2025
DAILY LOW (20% OR LESS) PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MONDAY, MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF I-69E, AS A WEAK MID
LEVEL LOW GRADUALLY TRANSLATES FROM THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF TOWARD
TEXAS COAST. THIS MORNING’S 12Z SOUNDING MEASURED A PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUE OF 1.32 INCHES, WHICH IS WITH JUST ABOVE THE 25TH
PERCENTILE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR ACCORDING TO SPC’S SOUNDING
CLIMATOLOGY. LIMITED MOISTURE CONTENT SHOULD RESULT IN MOSTLY
RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS, ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED SHOWER CANNOT BE RULED
OUT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE
INDICATE MORE FAVORABLE MOISTURE CONTENT WILL ARRIVE BY TUESDAY
OR WEDNESDAY, WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES EXPECTED TO RANGE
NEAR OR ABOVE THE 75TH PERCENTILE AS SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW TRANSPORTS
RICH, GULF MOISTURE. IN COMBINATION WITH DIURNAL INSTABILITY AND
THE SEA BREEZE, LOW TO MEDIUM (30-60%) RAIN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED
EACH DAY TUESDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK REGION WIDE. THE
HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES WILL RESIDE CLOSER TO THE IMMEDIATE COAST,
COINCIDING WITH THE HIGHEST MOISTURE CONTENT. OTHERWISE, EXPECT
NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK,
WITH A MINOR (LEVEL 1 OF 4) TO MODERATE (LEVEL 2 OF 4) HEAT RISK.
THE COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT WAS EXTENDED THROUGH MONDAY EVENING
BASED ON OBSERVATIONS SEEN FROM WEBCAMS ALONG THE SOUTH PADRE
ISLAND BEACHES. THE COMBINATION OF LONG-PERIOD SWELL AND
PROXIMITY TO THE FULL MOON AND ASSOCIATED ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES
WILL RESULT IN NARROW BEACHES NEAR HIGH TIDE CYCLES. HIGH TIDE IS
EXPECTED AT 2:06 PM CDT THIS AFTERNOON, 2:46 AM CDT MONDAY
MORNING, AND 3:33 PM CDT MONDAY AFTERNOON.
