Weak mid-level low pressure gradually meanders westward across the Gulf this weekend into late next week as the next 500mb ridge builds across Texas. Rain chances return Friday afternoon with waves of moisture off the Gulf kicking up showers and thunderstorms offshore each night and inland with the sea breeze each afternoon. The highest POPs occur Saturday and Wednesday through Thursday.
With little wind or movement, any showers or thunderstorms that develop will be capable of producing locally heavy rainfall, especially along and east of US 77 this weekend and along and east of US 281 by mid week. Seasonal to slightly above normal temperatures continue through Thursday. Patchy shallow fog may develop across the ranchlands each night.
Life-threatening rip currents are expected along the lower Texas coast this weekend, with an increasing swell and period along the western Gulf. The Heat Risk will gradually increase from minor (level 1 of 4) to moderate (level 2 of 4) across the RGV through the week as humidity increases.
