Temperatures will climb as we head through the weekend with triple digit heat early next week as high pressure aloft strengthens. Also, Cristobal is forecast to be a tropical storm as it heads north through the Gulf which puts us on the back-side of it's circulation, keeping dry, hot weather over south Texas. At this time, rain is expected to stay out over the Gulf but could come close to our beaches late Sunday depending on if the storm takes a turn to the northeast. Coastal flooding is likely this weekend and early next week due to Cristobal. Light north winds this weekend will come around to the west Monday causing the triple digit heat to shift toward the coast. Afternoon heat indices will reach 100-110 this weekend and as high as 115 by Tuesday. A weak cold front is forecast to move through next Wednesday, bringing temperatures down slightly late next week.
