FXUS64 KHGX 080549 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1249 AM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026 ...New DISCUSSION, MARINE... .KEY MESSAGES... - Increasing heat risk is forecast as the week progresses. - High risk of rip currents will persist through at least Monday night. - Isolated showers and storms chances, mostly during the afternoon hours, will continue during the coming week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1250 AM CDT Mon Jun 8 2026 Subtropical jet over the area will gradually weaken as upper level ridging from the west slowly pushes in. Moisture from the gulf continues to keep the PWs in the area relatively high at or just above 2 inches. Today is probably the best chances of any showers being right now to the early morning hours along the coast, then another chance of showers and storms in the afternoon hours. There is still a limited chance of some heavy rainfall in the stronger storms leading to street flooding in areas that have had repeated rounds of rain but the threat seems relatively minimal compared to the previous days. High pressure from the gulf will slowly move in and help suppress but not completely remove chances of convection. However since there will be less rain and cloud cover, high temperatures will climb from the upper 80s to low 90s to the low to mid 90s as the week progresses, with heat index values reaching the mid to upper 100s by late this week. High risk of rip currents still remain a concern as persistent onshore winds continues, however the winds will begin to decrease later this week which will help decrease it down to more of a moderate risk. && .AVIATION...
