THIS MORNING, NUMEROUS WEBCAMS ACROSS THE BARRIER ISLANDS ONCE AGAIN
SHOWED WATER LEVELS THAT REACHED THE DUNES DURING HIGH TIDE. SWELL
PERIODS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN ELEVATED (ABOVE 8 SECONDS) THROUGH
AT LEAST MONDAY NIGHT, WITH CURRENT SWELL HEIGHTS OF 1-3 FEET AND
SWELL PERIODS OF 8-10 SECONDS PER BUOYS 42092 AND 42019. THE P-ETSS
MODEL CONTINUES TO SHOW WATER LEVELS REACHING BETWEEN 2.1-2.3 FEET
ABOVE MEAN SEA LEVEL (MSL) TONIGHT DURING HIGH TIDE WITH A DOWNTREND
BEGINNING TUESDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE BARRIER ISLANDS. APART FROM THE
INCREASED SWELL HEIGHTS AND PERIODS, THE OBSERVED MINUS PREDICTED
TIDE VALUES ARE STILL AT 0.80 FT, DOWN FROM 1.10 FEET A COUPLE DAYS
AGO. WITH THE LONGER SWELL PERIODS HANGING AROUND AND ADDING THE
0.80 FT VALUE TO THE PREDICTED 1.2 FOOT WATER LEVEL AT HIGH TIDE
TONIGHT, WE ARE EXPECTING WATER LEVELS TO REACH AT LEAST 2.0 FEET
MSL TONIGHT. AS WE HEAD INTO TUESDAY AND MID-WEEK, SWELL PERIODS ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DECREASING WHICH WILL HELP TAME THE THREAT OF
THIS COASTAL FLOODING EVENT. THE OBSERVED MINUS PREDICTED TIDAL
VALUES FOR THE BAYS CONTINUE TO FALL. THEY ARE CURRENTLY DOWN TO
0.40 FEET FROM 0.70-0.90 FEET A COUPLE DAYS AGO. THEREFORE, WE
REMOVED THE BAYS FROM TONIGHT'S COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY AND ONLY WENT
WITH THE BARRIER ISLANDS.
OTHER THAN THAT, SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS WITH ONLY SLIM CHANCES (LESS THAN 10%) FOR RAIN
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT, EXCEPT FOR TUESDAY, WHERE LOW END RAIN
CHANCES (20-25%) CAN BE ANTICIPATED FOR THE SOUTHERN BRUSH COUNTRY.
WHILE LOW END RAIN CHANCES (20-25%) RETURN NEXT WEEKEND,
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MINIMAL LESS THAN 0.25" FOR ANY
AREA THAT WOULD BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE A SHOWER.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT. BY EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING BETWEEN 10-14Z, LIGHT PATCHY FOG FROM ALI TO VCT

EXPECTED TO DEVELOP MVFR CIGS STARTING AROUND 11Z THROUGH
APPROXIMATELY 15Z IN RESPONSE TO A SURGE OF MOISTURE MOVING UP THE
RIO GRANDE. VFR CONDITIONS RESUME BY MID TO LATE TUESDAY MORNING

A MODERATE BREEZE (BF 4) IS EXPECTED THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING BEFORE
A GENTLE BREEZE RETURNS (BF 3) TUESDAY NIGHT. WINDS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE AND PROMOTE A MODERATE BREEZE

DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS WEEK WITH WEDNESDAY EXPECTED TO
BE THE DRIEST DAY WITH MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES RANGING FROM
25-40% IN THE AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL BE WEAK, THE ENERGY
RELEASE COMPONENT THOSE FOR WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE
55-85TH PERCENTILE WITHIN THE AREA OF THE LOWEST RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES WHICH WILL YIELD A LOW CHANCE FOR ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS. OTHER THAN WEDNESDAY, ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
