Afternoon Seabreeze Showers Near the Coast

071916_TxMap

Today’s weather forecast is similar to yesterday’s with temperatures forecast to peak in the 90s this afternoon. Heat index values near and east of Interstate 35 will be in the 100 to 105 degree range. The cause of the higher heat index values in the east is due to higher humidity levels during the afternoon. Being closer to the Gulf of Mexico means more moisture availability. Another aspect of weather forecasting near the coast is the afternoon occurrence of the seabreeze.

By late morning the seabreeze should be moving onshore with increasing shower and thunderstorm chances. The best chance for pockets of showers and storms will be during the early and middle afternoon hours in Southeast Texas south through the Middle Texas Coast into the Rio Grande Valley. Widespread severe weather is not expected but a waterspout or two could certainly dazzle tourists on the beaches. While waterspouts are usually quite weak you don’t want to be near one if it moves onshore – unless you like being sandblasted. Hey, we all have our quirks you know!

Shower activity will start to diminish in coverage by late afternoon as outflow boundaries start to stalizablize the airmass. By dinnertime most activity should be out of the picture with another warm, summer evening expected. Outside of rain chances near the coast this afternoon dry conditions are forecast for the remainder of Texas. High temperatures will be in the 90s with one or two spots getting above the century mark. Much of the same weather will continue through the week. An uptick in temperatures can be expected by the end of the work week as the triple digits become more common. Although lets be honest… at this point you can’t really tell too much difference in the heat. It’s hot!
