.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1022 PM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025

Heat continues to be the main focus for the start of the forecast
period. Mid-level ridging and moisture advection with south-
southeasterly winds will continue to bring hot temperatures rising
into the upper 90s to 100s and heat indices between 105 to 110
degrees across Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley. This will
maintain a Moderate (level 2 out of 4) to Major (level 3 out of
4) Heat risk for the region through Monday. While heat indices
will remain below Heat Advisory criteria, Special Weather
Statements will be needed. Tuesday temperatures cool slightly, but
will remain near to just above seasonal norms for the remainder
of forecast period.

As we head into Monday a cold front begins to push southward,
stalling just north of the CWA. This will bring increasing chances
of showers and thunderstorms on Monday (40-60%) and Tuesday (50-70%).
WPC has a small portion of the Northern Ranchlands in a marginal
risk (level 1 out of 4) on Monday. There is some uncertainty in
the rainfall forecast, especially across the northern Ranchlands.
If the front stalls farther north, rain chances will decrease.
With that said, latest forecast guidance has increased rain chances
across Deep South Texas slightly on Monday and more noticeably on
Tuesday. Rain chances taper off Tuesday night and will generally
remain around 15% or less for Wednesday and Thursday. There will
be a slight uptick in precip chances headed into next weekend as
we look at the potential of another approaching and passing cold
front at the end of the forecast period.
