There is a chance of snow Friday morning, but it's VERY small. Mainly just scattered rain showers, but a few flakes may mix in. Any that fall will melt right away. Still not a sure thing. We'll keep you posted.

One of the best meteor showers of the year, the #Perseids , peaks tonight after 12am. To maximize the number of meteors you see, get away from city lights. You'll also want to keep the moon to your back and look at the darkest part of the sky. #shootingstar

{7:35AM Mon 8/5/24} A tropical wave near the Windward Islands has a 30% chance of formation within the next 7 days. It is still too early to determine what, if any, impacts there might be in the RGV. We'll keep an eye on it throughout the week. #rgv #rgvwx

Tropical Depression 8 is still forecast to reach the Texas Coast, most likely somewhere north of the RGV. The RGV could see some heavy rain at times Saturday, but the bigger threat for heavy rain and any stronger winds should remain mostly north of the area. #RGV #KRGV #RGVWx

The first cold front of the season is on the way. No need for the San Marcos blanket, this one is weak. Rain and storms are possible in the AM. If you're excited for cooler temps, you'll want to be up before 10 AM on Thu and Fri... that's when temps will be in the 60s. #rgvwx

{7:45AM 6/21/2024 FRIDAY} THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER is watching this area of unorganized showers and storms. This will keep rain chances around, but I think we'll continue with the BRIEF downpours in SPOTS. Any rain that does develop this weekend should be fast moving. #rgv
