DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1204 PM CDT SAT SEP 19 2026
WILL CONTINUE TO SEE A SOMEWHAT UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD. ALOFT, HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL OVER DEEP
SOUTH TEXAS WHICH WILL HELP SUPPRESS RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. WHILE WE COULD STILL SEE SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS WEEKEND, WILL BE LIMITED TO 15% AND BE MAINLY
ALONG THE COAST.
RAIN CHANCES INCREASE AS WE HEAD INTO THE WORK WEEK AS A COLD
FRONT MOVES INTO CENTRAL TEXAS. THE MOISTURE POOLING AHEAD OF THIS
BOUNDARY WILL INCREASE THE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS,
ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SEABREEZE. AS WE HEAD INTO TO LATE WEEK
MODELS ARE HINTING AT A TROPICAL WAVE MOVING WEST WHICH HELP TO
KEEP RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST, ESPECIALLY EACH AFTERNOON. BEST
RAIN CHANCES WILL BE FRIDAY (UP UP 60%), PRIMARILY ALONG THE
COAST INTO THE MID-VALLEY.
HEAT RISK WILL REMAIN MODERATE TO EXTREME OVER THE NEXT WEEK, THOUGH
INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND/OR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD BRING A
LITTLE RELIEF. TEMPERATURES WILL STILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL INTO MID
TO UPPER 90S TO LOW TRIPLE DIGITS THOUGH BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY,
COULD STRUGGLE TO REACH THE TRIPLE DIGITS WITH THE EXCESS
CLOUDCOVER AND RAIN CHANCES. HEAT INDICES WILL PEAK EACH AFTERNOON
BETWEEN 105-110 DEGREES.
THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES. THE
STRONGEST AND MOST LIFE THREATENING RIPS CURRENTS OFTEN OCCUR NEAR
JETTIES AND PIERS. USE CAUTION IF ENTERING THE WATER.
AVIATION

ISSUED AT 1204 PM CDT SAT SEP 19 2026
GENERALLY FAVORABLE CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL AERODROMES.
CAN NOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM THIS
AFTERNOON BUT CHANCES ARE LESS THAN 15% SO KEPT OUT OF THE TAF
PACKAGE.

ISSUED AT 1204 PM CDT SAT SEP 19 2026
GENERALLY FAVORABLE CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WITH SEAS AROUND 2-3 FT AND 6-7 SECOND
