The beach in Southeast Texas facing stormy weather and rip current warnings.
Southeast Texas is facing a stormy weekend, beginning with a high risk of life-threatening rip currents along the coast from Galveston to Matagorda County. A Marine Dense Fog Advisory is in effect, and thunderstorms are expected on Sunday, particularly affecting the Brazos Valley and Piney Woods. With a weak cool front forecasted, severe weather risks are also possible in multiple counties. However, after this turbulent weekend, a return to fine weather with warmer temperatures is anticipated for the week ahead.
If you’re in Southeast Texas, you might want to keep an eye on your weather apps because a stormy weekend is on the horizon. Starting off in the sunny city of Galveston, recent conditions have taken a turn as a slow-moving low-pressure system makes its way into the area. After morning showers, cloud cover turned the sky a bit gloomy on March 29, 2025. But don’t let that stop your weekend plans just yet!
As evening descends, things are expected to become a bit calmer. The humidity might creep up, however, which could lead to some potential sea fog overnight into early Sunday. If you’re planning a beach trip, make sure you’re aware of what’s lurking in the waters!
Speaking of the beach, there’s a serious warning in effect for swimmers from Galveston to Matagorda County. There’s a high risk for life-threatening rip currents at the beaches, and safety experts are soundly advising swimmers not to attempt to fight the current. If you find yourself in trouble, the best move is to swim parallel to the shore until you can safely make it back to dry land. Staying aware and cautious could make all the difference as you soak up the sun!
Before you pack that beach bag, here’s something to keep in mind: a Marine Dense Fog Advisory is currently in effect until 10 a.m. Sunday for affected coastal areas. Visibility could be quite limited, so driving conditions might be tricky! Be safe out there, folks!
As we roll into Sunday afternoon and evening, the weather will keep us on our toes. Another round of thunderstorms is expected, bringing along gusty winds and even the possibility of hail. Areas like the Brazos Valley and Piney Woods are particularly at risk, so grab that umbrella just in case!
And it doesn’t stop there. A weak cool front is forecast to sweep through early Monday morning, and severe weather risks are on the table for several counties including San Jacinto, Polk, Walker, and others. Others areas such as Northeast Houston County and Trinity County have a slightly higher risk, rated at a 2 out of 5. All types of severe weather could be possible, so make sure you’re prepared!
On a brighter note, after this stormy weekend, a return to a quieter weather pattern is expected for the week ahead, with temperatures returning to the low to mid 80s. It will feel more like late May or June, so if you’re all about those warm temperatures, you’re in luck!
Rain chances will remain low throughout the week, although some isolated showers could pop up again on Sunday. The recent flood watch that was in effect for multiple counties has been canceled, with heavy rainfall recorded in some areas. So, while the skies might open up briefly, it won’t be a washout!
A great piece of news is that the current air quality levels are acceptable. While grass pollen levels are moderate, the risk for the flu remains low. If you’ve been itching to breathe in some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors, now’s your chance—but keep that weather check handy!
In summary, Southeast Texas is gearing up for a weekend filled with unpredictable weather. Stay informed, stay safe, and have a fabulous time whether you’re at the beach or cozying up indoors!
