TEMPERATURES AND MOISTURE WILL INCREASE THIS WEEK AND THROUGH THE

LATE THIS WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. MEANWHILE, A SHORTWAVE WILL
MOVE ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS, LEADING TO A LOW TO MEDIUM (30-60%) CHANCE
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY, THEN DECREASING TO A LOW (15-
30%) CHANCE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE
MIDDLE TEXAS COAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND, LIKELY DUE TO PERSISTENT
ONSHORE FLOW AND LONG PERIOD SWELL. MINOR COASTAL FLOODING WITH UP
TO 1 FT MSL INUNDATION WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING PERIODS OF HIGH TIDE
INTO THE WEEKEND.
