DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1225 AM CDT FRI OCT 10 2025
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING CONTINUES TO BE THE MAIN STORY AT LEAST
THROUGH FRIDAY, BUT POSSIBLY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE P-ETSS IS
SHOWING TIDE LEVELS REACHING AROUND 2.2FT MSL DURING TIMES OF HIGH
TIDE THROUGH SUNDAY. HOWEVER, THE WINDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS ARE
FORECAST TO DECREASE TO 10-15 KNOTS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL
PERSIST OUT OF THE NORTHEAST AND EAST THROUGH SATURDAY WHICH IS
STILL CONDUCIVE FOR TIDAL OVERFLOW. THERE IS CURRENTLY A COASTAL
FLOOD ADVISORY THROUGH 7 AM FRIDAY MORNING AND ANOTHER ADVISORY WILL
LIKELY BE ISSUED FOR THE NEXT HIGH TIDE FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
SATURDAY MORNING. SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY, MINOR COASTAL FLOODING
IS LESS CERTAIN DUE TO LIGHT WINDS SHIFTING TO THE SOUTHEAST.
HOWEVER, SWELL PERIODS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO AROUND 8 SECONDS
BY THEN WHICH MAY GIVE THE WATER MORE MOMENTUM TO REACH THE DUNES.
AS FOR THE RIP CURRENT RISK, SINCE THE WINDS WILL BE ALONG THE SHORE
AND THE NEW MOON IS DAYS AWAY, THE RISK WILL BE KEPT AT MODERATE
LEVELS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. AS THE WINDS SHIFT AROUND TO THE EAST
AND SOUTHEAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY COMBINED WITH
INCREASING SWELL PERIODS TO AROUND 8 SECONDS, THE RIP CURRENT RISK
WILL LIKELY INCREASE TO HIGH.
AS FOR THE WEATHER, HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BRING DRIER AIR ACROSS
S TX FRIDAY AND SATURDAY LEADING TO VERY LOW (<10%) CHANCE OF
SHOWERS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE HIGH WILL REMAIN DOMINANT THROUGH
NEXT WEEK WITH VERY LOW RAIN CHANCES CONTINUING. BUT, CAN NOT RULE
OUT A FEW ROGUE SHOWERS ALONG THE SEA BREEZE. THE DRIER AIR WILL
ALSO LEAD TO WARMER HIGHS AND COOLER LOWS FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED DURING THE
WORK WEEK.
