DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 111 PM CDT FRI JUN 5 2026
A CUTOFF LOW OVER NORTHERN MEXICO WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST,
SHIFTING THE FOCUS OF PRECIPITATION EAST WITH IT. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE CONTINUING TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE
BRUSH COUNTRY, THEN MOVE TO THE NORTH/NORTHEAST. MEANWHILE, ALONG
THE COASTAL COUNTIES, MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS LEADING TO CONVECTION.
LOW TO MEDIUM (15-40%) RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT
AND EARLY SATURDAY. PWAT VALUES ARE STILL ABOVE 2 INCHES, WHICH
MEANS THAT ANY SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD PRODUCE UP TO 2 INCHES OF
RAINFALL, WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS TO 3 INCHES. WPC HAS
MAINTAINED A MARGINAL RISK (1 OF 4) OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR
PORTIONS OF SOUTH TEXAS TODAY.
RAIN CHANCES FINALLY BEGIN TO DIMINISH SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE
CUTOFF LOW FILLS IN AND MOVES TOWARD THE TEXAS PANHANDLE, DROPPING
FROM A 20-50% CHANCE TO A LESS THAN 15% CHANCE, THOUGH SEABREEZE
CONVECTION WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN SETTLE IN
FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE INTO THE 90S, WITH
A MODERATE HEAT RISK EXPECTED EACH DAY. REMEMBER TO KEEP PRACTICING
HEAT SAFETY WHEN OUTDOORS, HYDRATE, AND TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS.
MANY FOLKS WILL WANT TO HEAD TO THE BEACH THIS WEEKEND BUT THERE ARE
SOME PARTICULAR HAZARDS FOR THE BEACHES. LONG PERIOD SWELL AND
PERSISTENT SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL LEAD TO A HIGH RISK OF DANGEROUS
RIP CURRENTS. THESE CONDITIONS COULD ALSO LEAD TO MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING DURING TIMES OF HIGH TIDES. BEACHGOERS SHOULD USE CAUTION
WHEN ENTERING THE WATERS AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE TIDAL LEVELS.
AVIATION

AND ON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING BEFORE THEY DIMINISH.

ISSUED AT 111 PM CDT FRI JUN 5 2026
