.DISCUSSION... Issued at 1235 PM CDT Tue Sep 9 2025
Daily low to medium (30-50%) rain chances will continue across most of Deep South Texas through the end of the week and into the weekend. The 12Z upper air sounding measure precipitable water values around 2.14 inches, which is right at the 90th percentile for this date according to SPCs sounding climatology page. In combination with diurnal instability and a lingering stationary boundary, isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop from the mid morning hours to early evening hours each day across the region. Over the Gulf waters and near the Lower Texas beaches, isolated activity is expected into the evening and overnight hours. In general, the highest precipitation chances each day will reside closer to the immediate coast, which coincides with the highest precipitable water values. Given the presence of high moisture content, pockets of brief heavy rainfall cannot be ruled out with any showers or thunderstorms that develop. This may result in nuisance flooding issues, mainly over low-lying or flood-prone areas depending on where the activity sets up. Rain chances look to decrease over the weekend as subsidence increases aloft. Any activity should be limited to mostly sea breeze activity during the early afternoon to early evening hours.
Expect seasonable temperatures to continue through the next week or so with highs in the low to mid 90s region wide. In combination with the humidity, heat index values are expected to range from 100 to 105 degrees. Fortunately, increased cloud cover associated with any showers or thunderstorms may help keep temperatures a few degrees cooler than forecast. A minor (level 1 of 4) heat risk will continue through the weekend.
