NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL MOISTURE INTERACTING WITH THIS
AFTERNOON'S SEABREEZE AND AREAS OF 700-500MB PVA IS ALLOWING FOR A
STRAY SHOWER OR TWO TO STREAM ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAINS. WE COULD
SEE SIMILAR CONDITIONS TOMORROW (SUNDAY) BEFORE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE AND MID-LEVEL RIDGING DOMINATES MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY,
RESULTING IN LESS LIFT, A SLIGHTLY DRIER ATMOSPHERIC PROFILE, AND
RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS. LATE NEXT WEEK, WE'LL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON A
TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE ATLANTIC INTO THE NORTHEAST GULF THAT MAY
DEVELOP INTO A WEAK SURFACE LOW OR AT LEAST A MID-LEVEL LOW THAT
MOVES WESTWARD TOWARDS THE TEXAS COAST. THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE AND
MID-LEVEL LIFT WILL ALLOW FOR A LOW 20-30% CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY OVER THE COASTAL PLAINS.
A MODERATE RISK OF HEAT-RELATED IMPACTS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER
SOUTH TEXAS THROUGH NEXT WEEK, WITH MAX HEAT INDICES RANGING FROM
105-110. IN ADDITION TO THE HEAT, GREATER SAHARAN DUST CONCENTRATION
WILL MOVE IN TOMORROW THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT, RESULTING IN REDUCED
AIR QUALITY. BORDERLINE ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER
PORTIONS OF WEBB COUNTY WILL BE IN PLACE SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY DUE
TO AFTERNOON/EVENING RELATIVE HUMIDITY DROPPING TO 25-30% WHILE
WINDS ARE AROUND 20 MPH.
