Keep tabs with Carly. Yeah, we are still seeing some flooding as well across North Beach. But the good sign is yesterday, the water was well past the airplane outside of the US S Lexington entrance. Now it is below that I will add though, that high tide is expected later this afternoon. For North Beach. The island in our local area, beaches, that high tide is coming up a little bit later this morning. But here's a look at your current condition. It's 82 degrees. We do have some spotty rain showers in the coastal bend temperature. Uh It does feel like it's 90 because our dew point is still running on the high side. So it's another muggy start to the day. Wind is out the east at 14 MPH. So breaking down our rain chances, we do see a chance for a spotty shower off and on throughout the day. Today, it's not widespread rain, it's not persistent rain, but we will continue to see some rain. We're not totally done with the rain just yet. 91 in Corpus Christi this afternoon. 92 in Kingsville, we'll have nineties across Beeville, Mathis, Robstown. Orange Grove, Alice Ingleside eighties, upper eighties along the coast. So wind, that's the big difference between yesterday and today. We, our wind is much lighter and that's one of the reasons why our tides are going to be able to go back out is because we don't have that really strong wind, pushing it across the entire Gulf of Mexico, like we saw as we were forecasting Alberto and once it, uh, did get named and so forth, but Saturday still seeing a few hours. Now these showers are coming from moisture that is going to be associated with the next tropical system that is trying to develop once again into the Bay of Campeche. We'll get to that in just a second. But first, here's a look at your wind speed forecast for today. Much lighter, much calmer winds around the east, only about 16 MPH. So still breezy gust still around 25 MPH. But we're no longer talking those 4045 up to 50 mile per hour wind gusts. The strawberry moon is tonight so that could keep our tides, especially at our local beaches. Still a little high and we're not talking storm surge or inundation past really like the dunes from a typical full moon. Uh But just to let you know, the beaches may not really return to normal too quickly because of the full moon. So it will be 100% more full tonight at 807. The coastal flooding is going to be possible through the weekend. Here's your, your tide forecast. This is not factoring in any impacts from Alberto. But the tide forecast at B. Paul Pier is expected to be at that coastal flooding level. Minor coastal flooding where the water creeps up to the dunes, mostly just at high tide. High tide this morning is at 6:19 a.m. 705 on Saturday and 749 on Sunday. Uh your moon rise will be technically after it's 100% full. That will be at 8:39 p.m. Taking a look at our swells. So this is where tropical storm Alberto continues to weaken and now it is just the remnants of Alberto in the central Mexico, but we are still seeing some higher wave action mostly along the coast from Mexico, go up into South Texas wave heights. Now starting to lower, we lost our buoy data. It was closer to 10 ft still 8 ft there at the Freeport buoy closer to our beaches, likely more so 4 to 6 ft. And so I wanna point out that as we see the next system right here trying to form into Saturday, we see the swells picking up, but we're not expecting them to come up into Corpus Christi. Essentially, we're gonna get some higher wave action. We're gonna keep it in that kind of 45, possibly 6 ft level through the weekend. But then conditions calm down a bit in the Gulf of Mexico and we're still seeing some waves, but it's not going to be crazy high waves. So here your wave forecast locally 5 to 6 ft dropping to 2 to 4 ft through Monday and then we'll be back around 2 to 3 ft as we head into Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. And your tropical overview, what we're looking at is a 40 to 60 yeah, 60% chance actually of possible development into that Bay of Campeche, right? So 60% chance there's that low. This actually is gonna move kind of fast over the weekend. It will try to develop Sunday into Monday. Any type of development will move toward Mexico possibly by having landfall fairly soon and it's gonna stay away from us because this high pressure starts to build over Texas. The difference is with Alberto, the high was over the northeast that allowed all the moisture, all the wind and all the surge to come up to Texas when the high is over, that's going to push more of that toward Mexico. So we're not going to see the same impacts. In fact, we're not tracking as much rain, rain or uh really as much, basically, no surge from this and wave action a little bit higher. So we're talking 2 to 40% chance, 20 to 40% chance of rain really Friday through Monday. Then as that high settles in, we start to heat up well into next week.
