A few showers will push into the Coastal Bend this afternoon, before dissipating inland. Moisture will increase tonight in combination of a mid-level shortwave, causing PWAT (Precipitable Water) values to near 2.0" (99th percentile) and bringing scattered to numerous showers over the Coastal Bend early Tuesday morning. Coverage will shift inland along the seabreeze in the afternoon, followed by a lull in activity Tuesday night. We won't have as good of mid-level support for convection on Wednesday, but there remains a weak inverted surface trough to aid in convergence along with the seabreeze and enhanced moisture to allow for a medium chance of showers and low chance for thunderstorms over the Coastal Plains.

Remnants of what is currently Tropical Storm Vance over the east Pacific will move into Mexico and advect even more moisture over South Texas Thursday, more focused along the Rio Grande. Therefore, medium to high rain chances (40-70%) will shift over the Brush Country and Rio Grande Plains on Thursday, with lower chances eastward. Rain chances lower to 20-45% Friday as the remnants move northeastward across the state. Total rainfall through Friday remains around an inch or less areawide, with locally higher amounts up to around 2".

Heading into Halloween weekend, we'll maintain low rain chances due to abundant moisture and diurnal processes. The mid-level flow becomes more zonal with a subtle shortwave remaining off to our north, not aiding in lift. There are signs of our next cold front pushing through early next week Monday night into Tuesday. We'll need to keep a close eye on this progression.

Lastly, minor coastal flooding will likely develop during high tide each afternoon into evening for the Middle Texas Coast through the work week, as swell periods remain high along with a persistent easterly flow and astronomical high tide. In addition, these conditions will increase the risk of rip currents, creating more dangerous swimming conditions.

Gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) east to southeasterly flow will persist through this week, with seas generally between 3-5 feet. We could see slightly higher seas of 6-7 feet over the offshore waters tonight into early Tuesday morning. Medium to high shower and thunderstorm chances start this evening and will continue through Wednesday, before decreasing to low chances Thursday and Friday.
