Issued at 1108 PM CDT Fri Aug 28 2026 Precipitable water has started to diminish across Southeast TX late this evening, with 1.8 - 1.9 inches remaining over the coastal zones. Deep moisture convergence could persist through early morning, bringing the potential for a few showers and storms along the coast/coastal waters through mid/late Saturday morning. Otherwise, typical summer-like weather is expected today and Sunday with isolated to scattered afternoon showers and storms, primarily driven by the seabreeze. Highs generally in the mid to upper 90s with heat indices in the 103 to 108F range. Mid to upper level ridge will continue to expand eastward across the southern Plains before shifting more to the east throughout the week. This pattern will keep Southeast TX generally under easterly flow aloft, bringing subtle disturbances into our region from the Gulf. With persistent warm and humid southerly surface flow, weak disturbances approaching from the Gulf, and seabreeze interaction in the afternoon, a daily risk of showers and thunderstorms can be expected through the week... better chances towards the end of the work week. Near to slightly above normal temperatures are expected this weekend into the upcoming week with highs generally in the mid to upper 90s (inland) and in the low 90s (coast).Peak heat indices will generally remain in the 105 to 109F range.
