Above average temperatures will continue through Sunday even with a weak surface boundary moving through the southern part of Texas during the day. This boundary will help spark showers and thunderstorms overnight tonight into the morning hours on Sunday across Southeast Texas. Activity will move off the coast and generally be done by early afternoon. A chance for light rain will continue into the evening hours Sunday across Southeast Texas. Very strong wind shear aloft could allow for a few strong storms with frequent lightning and gusty winds, but severe weather is not going to be a big concern. However, a brief tornado could occur if a discrete thunderstorms is able to tap into the instability and wind shear. That threat, however, is not a significant one. We’ll be up tonight keeping an eye to the sky and will let you know if there are any changes to our thinking.
