Key Takeaways

• Hazardous marine conditions, elevated rip current risk, and minor coastal flooding persists through the weekend from Hurricane Isaias
• Low humidity and mostly clear skies brings comfortable conditions throughout the weekend
• Summerlike heat and humidity return early next week

The Weekend

Hurricane Isaias will be making landfall over the northern Gulf coast Friday night, but direct impacts to Galveston County remain very minimal. The main concerns are along the coast which includes hazardous seas, a high rip current risk, and minor coastal flooding. To be safe stay out of the coastal waters throughout the weekend

Inland, this weekend actually looks quite nice. Dry air surrounding Isaias is dropping dew points below normal, bringing mostly clear skies and seasonable overnight lows in low 70s. Daytime highs still run a bit above normal, but the low humidity should make it feel very comfortable.

Looking ahead summer-like heat and humidity look to return early next week as the wind shifts, onshore flow returns, and moisture surges back into the region. Dew points climb quickly and daily storm chances will return, so enjoy the dry air this weekend while it lasts.

Have a great weekend!
