KEY MESSAGES
ISSUED AT 1201 AM CDT SAT SEP 13 2025
- GENERALLY DRY AND HOT CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD.
- MOSTLY RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY, THEN
SOME ISOLATED ACTIVITY IN OUR COASTAL COUNTIES POSSIBLE
BEGINNING AS EARLY AS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING EACH
AFTERNOON THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK.
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1201 AM CDT SAT SEP 13 2025
PERSISTENCE WILL BE THE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS DOMINATE OVER THE REGION: HIGH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN
THE LOW TO MID-90S, LOWS GENERALLY IN THE LOW TO MID-70S, MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES, AND LITTLE TO NO CHANCE OF RAIN. THIS DESCRIPTION
WILL BE TRUE FOR MOST THE AREA THROUGH AT LEAST MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK,
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DAILY SLIGHT CHANCE OF COASTAL SHOWERS EACH
DAY STARTING SUNDAY ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AS THE HIGH PRESSURE
BEGINS TO WEAKEN. A BRIEF DOWNPOUR COULD BE POSSIBLE IF A
THUNDERSTORM IS ABLE TO DEVELOP.
AS WE HEAD INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK, A BIT MORE UNCERTAINTY
MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE FORECAST. GUIDANCE IS INDICATING OF RIDGING
BUILDING OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST PRODUCING NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS
EASTERN TEXAS. THIS PATTERN HAS BEEN INDICATIVE IN THE PAST OF
BRINGING CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS OR STORMS INTO SE TEXAS AS SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS EMBEDDED IN THE FLOW ALOFT PASS THROUGH. AS OF THIS TIME, SE
TEXAS CONTINUES TO SHOW LITTLE TO NO CHANCE OF RAIN THROUGH THE END
OF NEXT WEEK (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ISOLATED COASTAL ACTIVITY),
HOWEVER WE WILL NEED TO WATCH TO SEE IF ANY OF THOSE WEAK
DISTURBANCES MOVE THROUGH.
