THE SHOWER ACTIVITY LATE THIS MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS
HAS BEEN A BIT MORE ROBUST THAN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT ANY
AREA THAT RECEIVES RAINFALL WILL BE MOSTLY IN QUICK BURSTS UPWARDS
OF 0.25-0.75" THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. A FEW RUMBLES OF
THUNDER ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE AS WELL.
WHILE ONSHORE SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW REMAINS, AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 80S TO MID-90S (31-36 CELSIUS) COMBINED WITH DEW POINTS IN
THE 70S (20-26 CELSIUS) ARE RESULTING IN HEAT INDICIES GENERALLY
IN THE 100-107 DEGREE RANGE (38-42 CELSIUS) THIS AFTERNOON. BASED
ON THE CURRENT FORECAST, TODAY MAY BE THE HOTTEST "FEELS- LIKE"
TEMPERATURES AS THE WEATHER PATTERN TRENDS WETTER BY THE END OF
THIS WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER, HOT AND HUMID
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO PERSIST, SO SENSITIVE GROUPS OR THOSE
NOT ACCLIMATED TO THE SUMMER WEATHER OF HOUSTON WILL BE ESPECIALLY
AT RISK OF EXPERIENCING HEAT ILLNESS GIVEN THESE CONDITIONS. IF
YOU PLAN TO SPEND TIME OUTDOORS, MAKE SURE TO DRINK PLENTY OF
WATER TO STAY HYDRATED AND TAKE BREAKS FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT WHEN
POSSIBLE.
PERSISTENT SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE POSE A RISK FOR RIP
CURRENTS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THEREFORE, IF YOU HAVE ANY
BEACH PLANS, MAKE SURE TO WATCH OUT FOR RIP CURRENTS. SWIM NEAR A
LIFEGUARD, IF POSSIBLE, AND BE SURE TO AVOID SWIMMING NEAR ANY
ROCKS, JETTIES, AND PIERS WHERE RIP CURRENTS FREQUENTLY OCCUR.
SUBTROPICAL RIDGING REMAINS OVERHEAD AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO
INTO THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER, AN INFLUX OF MOISTURE FROM THE TROPICAL
DISTURBANCE FORMING IN THE BAY OF CAMPECHE TRACKING NORTHWARD
THROUGH THE WEEKEND SHOULD PROVIDE BETTER SHOWER/STORM
CHANCES/COVERAGE GOING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGING WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN GOING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, AS A
MID-LEVEL TROUGH DEEPENS ACROSS THE PLAINS. TIMING OF A FRONTAL
PASSAGE WITH THIS TROUGH HAS COME INTO MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT
AMONGST ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE, THUS THE BULK OF WIDESPREAD RAINFALL
LOOKS TO BE MORE IN THE MONDAY TO TUESDAY TIMEFRAME. MORE
UNCERTAINTY EXISTS WITH HOW QUICKLY THE FRONT EITHER CLEARS OR
STALLS OVER THE REGION, SO THAT WILL BE WORTH MONITORING IN THE
COMING FEW FORECAST ITERATIONS.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TX WILL
CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY DISSIPATE THIS EVENING INTO EARLY TONIGHT
AS DIURNAL HEATING DECREASES. THE MORE LIKELY SITES THAT COULD BE
AFFECTED FROM THESE STORMS FROM TIME TO TIME ARE KCXO, KUTS, AND
KCLL. AS THESE STORMS PASS THROUGH, WINDS COULD BECOME VRB AT
AROUND 10-15KTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 20KTS POSSIBLE. WINDS SHOULD VEER
BACK TO SE AN HOUR OR TWO AFTER THE STORM PASSES. FOR THE REST OF
THE SITES, EXPECTED VFR CIGS WITH SE WINDS AT 5-10KTS. WINDS WILL
RELAX TO AROUND 5KTS FOR MANY SITES OVERNIGHT, AND WE COULD ONCE
AGAIN SEE THE DEVELOPMENT OF MVFR CIGS DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS (SAT), IN PARTICULAR OVER AREAS NORTH OF I-10. THERE IS ALSO
A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR PATCHY FOG, MAINLY FROM 10-14Z, ALTHOUGH
CONFIDENCE IS LOW AT THIS TIME. BY THE MID MORNING HOURS ON
SATURDAY, EXPECT CIGS TO GRADUALLY LIFT AND SCATTER. WINDS WILL
INCREASE TO 06-10KTS FROM 14-18Z AND TO 08-12KTS WITH GUSTS UP TO
20KTS ON OCCASION AFTER 18Z. WE MAY SEE A FEW QUICK PASSING
SHOWERS IN THE MORNING OVER AREAS NEAR AND SOUTH OF I-10 AND ISO
SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING HOURS OVER
AREAS NEAR AND NORTH OF I-10. STORMS, IF ANY, WILL DISSIPATE IN
THE EVENING.

ISSUED AT 1212 PM CDT FRI JUN 12 2026
LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE ONSHORE WINDS ARE EXPECTED INTO THE
WEEKEND WITH SEAS OF 2 TO 5 FEET. CAUTION FLAGS MAY BE WARRANTED
AT TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, ESPECIALLY THIS WEEKEND AS SEAS
NEAR 6 TO 7 FEET OFFSHORE. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE EACH DAY WITH RAIN CHANCES RISING OVER THE WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IS ANTICIPATED
ALMOST DAILY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
