Extended Forecast

There is a threat of scattered severe storms this afternoon with the greatest threats being large hail and damaging winds. Storms will start firing off around 4pm as a cold front moves into South Texas and will continue through Sunday morning as the front stalls. Remain weather aware and have multiple ways to receive alerts.

A system is setting up to provide much of South Texas chances for rain starting this weekend and continuing into the upcoming week. Highest rainfall amounts will be from the Brush Country and locations to the northwest. In the slowest-moving storms, chances for localized flooding are possible, however the drier soils should reduce a greater spatial risk for flooding. With Saturday night having the greatest chance for rain, the WPC has issued a Slight risk (at least 15% chance) of flooding across the northern Brush Country. Remember when coming across flooded roadways: Turn Around, Don't Drown!

A cold front will bring scattered to numerous showers and storms to South Texas this afternoon. The front is expected to stall, resulting in showers and storms continuing through tonight. Some storms may become strong to severe. Otherwise, highs will range from the mid to upper 70s along the coast to low 90s along the Rio Grande.

There is a MODERATE risk of rip currents. Use caution if going into the water, especially near jetties, piers, etc. The chance for showers and storms will increase by late afternoon and continue through Sunday morning. Some storms may become strong to severe. Highs in the mid 70s today across area beaches.

A stalled cold front will maintain scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms through tonight into Sunday morning. Some storms may become strong to severe with heavy rainfall. Flooded roads are difficult to see at night. Turn around, don't drown.

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms expected to continue Sunday, becoming scattered by Sunday afternoon. Low to medium (15-50%) rain chances continue through mid week. Highs will be cooler Sunday, then a warming trend through mid week.
