Issued at 110 PM CDT Sun Aug 17 2025 Dry and hot conditions will continue early this week before rain chances return mid-week each afternoon along the seabreeze. A mid- level disturbance will move across the area towards the tail end of the work week promoting medium (30-60%) chances for rain during the afternoons. Although rain chances will be elevated, beneficial rain is not anticipated with accumulations generally expected to remain below 1" through the weekend. Before those elevated rain chances return and cool us off a touch, dry and hot conditions will prevail. Heat index values will peak between 105-113 degrees each afternoon with poor overnight recoveries along the Coastal Bend with heat index values only dropping into the 80s and 90s during the overnight hours. Those with a prolong period of time outdoors will have a greater risk of heat- related impacts. Please use caution if outdoors and remember to remain hydrated and take frequent breaks.
