Issued at 1232pm CDT Sunday May 17 2026

An unsettled weather pattern should set up over Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley over through the majority of the forecast period. As the upper-level flow pattern of southwesterly flow will allow for daily convection to flare up over the Sierra Madre, there is a chance that these thunderstorms could move into the CWA (County Warning Area) each day. While the confidence is low at this time, thus Probability of Precipitation has been generally limited to around 20%. However, by the end of the week, the environment does become more favorable for the development of showers and thunderstorms are a frontal boundary stalls to the north of the area and allows for moisture to pool in the region. Thus rain chances increase to medium (around 50-60%) for Thursday and Friday.

As for the temperatures, the highs for today through Tuesday are expected to be in the upper 90s to lower triple digits. The heat indices are expected to be around 108 for each of those days as well. Thus the heat risk for this time period is a mixture of moderate (level 2 of 4) to major (level 3 of 4). However by Wednesday, the temperatures do lower a bit as more clouds build into the region with the expected increase in rain chances.

Lastly, along the Lower Texas Coast, there is a moderate risk of rip currents today and tonight with a High Risk of Rip Currents starting tomorrow. There is a slight chance for some minor coastal flooding
