Slight rain chance this weekend

and last updated

The first weekend of August will be typically hot and humid with an increasing afternoon breeze. Saturday looks dry with the exception of a stray sea breeze shower. As an upper level trough of lower pressure to our east drifts toward South Texas, atmospheric moisture will increase through Sunday which could cause a few showers to develop from early Sunday morning into the afternoon. These would be very spotty and many areas will be missed by the rain but a few spots could get a downpour. Overall, most of the weekend looks dry. The beach and fishing forecast looks good for Saturday with 1 foot waves and southeast winds at 7-15 mph. Bays are expected to be slightly choppy with seas off the coast at 1-2 feet.

Friday night: Partly cloudy with lows in the mid to upper 70s inland and near 80 at the beaches with light winds.

Saturday: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny with highs in the mid 90s to near 100 inland and near 90 at the beaches with southeast winds at 7-15 mph. Heat indices will reach 102-108 degrees.

Sunday: Partly cloudy with a slight chance of a shower or t-storm. A few could develop by early morning with spot showers in the afternoon. Highs will reach the mid to upper 90s inland to the upper 80s at the coast.
