Abundant tropical moisture continues to work into Texas from the west, with showers just edging into Zapata County. Expect the heaviest activity to remain generally north of the CWA, with a few showers sneaking into Jim Hogg and Starr counties. An isolated sea breeze shower or two may develop across the RGV this afternoon. Above normal temperatures and drier conditions arrive by Friday, maintain a very warm Halloween weekend, and continue into early next week. A potent low pressure system swings through the Southern Plans Monday into Tuesday, kicking up a warm and breezy Monday before sending a cold front through Deep South Texas on Tuesday with cooler temperatures into Wednesday.

Persistent easterly flow across the Gulf and elevated astronomical tides continue to narrow beaches during high tide cycles into the weekend. Coastal Flood Statements may need to be extended into Sunday morning. Expect elevated rip currents into the weekend as well with the easterly long-period swell.
