KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 1235 PM CDT THU JUL 24 2025
- NHC HAS A 10% CHANCE OF TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT FOR THE SYSTEM IN
THE NORTHERN GULF. HEAVY RAINFALL IS THE PRIMARY THREAT FOR
COASTAL TEXAS FRIDAY NIGHT - SUNDAY.
- GENERALLY MODERATE HEAT RISK ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS THROUGH NEXT
WEEK. A FEW LOCATIONS ACROSS THE BRUSH COUNTRY WILL HAVE A MAJOR
RISK WITH MAX HEAT INDICES AROUND 110 AT TIMES.
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1235 PM CDT THU JUL 24 2025
THE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BE
THE DOMINANT FEATURE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK, BRINGING HOT AND
HUMID CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A BIT COOLER AS CLOUD
COVER AND RAIN CHANCES INCREASE THIS WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL
REBOUND EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH A MODERATE TO MAJOR HEAT RISK
RETURNING.
THE MOST INTERESTING FEATURE IN OUR UPCOMING WEATHER PATTERN IS AN
AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CROSSING THE GULF. THE NATIONAL
HURRICANE CENTER HAS MAINTAINED A 10% CHANCE OF TROPICAL CYCLONE
DEVELOPMENT WITH THIS. AS IT APPROACHES, TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL
STREAM INTO THE AREA WITH MODELS CONTINUING TO INDICATE ANOMALOUSLY
HIGH PWAT VALUES (2.2-2.4") FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.
WHILE TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT IS NOT EXPECTED, THERE IS SOME
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE COASTAL BEND FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY, WITH RAIN CHANCES DECREASING INLAND. RAINFALL
RATES OF 2+ INCHES PER HOUR ARE POSSIBLE WHICH COULD LEAD TO
ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING. WPC HAS THE COASTAL BEND IN A MARGINAL
RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1235 PM CDT THU JUL 24 2025
VFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH LIGHT
SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS AND ONLY A FEW CLOUDS OVER THE COASTAL
AIRPORTS. A WEAK SEA BREEZE WILL MOVE INLAND FROM THE COAST THIS
AFTERNOON WITH WINDS INCREASING SLIGHTLY AND BECOMING MORE
SOUTHEAST. SOME PATCHY FOG WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING OVER THE INLAND COASTAL PLAINS IMPACTING TERMINALS FROM ALI-
BEA-VCT. HOWEVER, INCREASING MOISTURE AND HIGH CLOUD COVER FROM THE
GULF DISTURBANCE COULD INHIBIT THE RADIATIVE AFFECTS THAT CONTRIBUTE
TO THE FOG FORMATION. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE FRIDAY
MORNING. EXPECT AN INCREASE IN SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER
THE GULF WATERS FRIDAY MORNING, POTENTIALLY IMPACTING THE IMMEDIATE
COASTAL AIRPORTS FROM NQI-RKP-PKV WITH RAIN SPREADING INLAND AFTER
THE 18Z.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 1235 PM CDT THU JUL 24 2025
A GENTLE (BF 3) SOUTH-SOUTHEAST BREEZE WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT WITH NEAR 3 FT SEAS FOR MOST OF THE WATERS, WITH A
MODERATE BREEZE (BF 4) AND SLIGHTLY CHOPPY CONDITIONS FOR THE
SOUTHERN BAYS. A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE INTO THE WESTERN
GULF FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY RESULTING IN INCREASED CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS (50-70%) RESULTING IN BRIEF GUSTY
CONDITIONS WITH 3-4 FT SEAS. FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK, LIGHT TO
MODERATE SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE BY
MID-WEEK AS AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVERHEAD.
