.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1157 AM CDT Wed Jul 16 2025

A dry pattern continues across Deep South Texas with high
pressure generally in place along the lower Texas coast. A low
across the northern Gulf is being monitored by the National
Hurricane Center with a 40 percent chance of tropical development
in the next 48 hours to 7 days. With this activity northeast of
the CWA, expect an increase in subsidence and slight bump to
rather seasonal temperatures into early next week, especially
across the brush country. A moderate (level 2 of 4) heat risk is
expected through the period.

At this time, conditions along the beaches are expected to improve
into Thursday, with a low risk of rip currents through Friday. Any
tropical development across the northern Gulf may increase swell
or swell period and push an elevated threat of rip currents to
start the weekend. A moderate risk of rip currents returns
Saturday and persists into next week.

Gulf that may increase swell locally late this week into this
weekend. Small Craft Caution conditions are possible each
afternoon across the bay with gusty afternoon winds.
