Humid, breezy conditions should prevail through this coming weekend. While the breezes are keeping outdoor temperatures from feeling too muggy, they continue to stir up the surf. Although we should remain free of rain, the wind may impact some of the Featherfest activities through Sunday as persistent gusty winds are less than ideal for bird watching and create dangerous rip currents along area beaches.
The already brisk winds may even pick up a little this weekend as a deep upper-level low pressure trough and surface low moves into the Plains, with high pressure to the east creating a steep pressure gradient along the Texas coast.
