The episode as NWS CRP wrote it up.
Significant rainfall across various regions of Texas, with amounts ranging from half an inch to 6 inches, greatly improved soil moisture and benefited warm-season forages, row crops, and pastures. The following is a summary from Texas A&M AgriLife regarding the state of crops in this region from this month: This widespread moisture enhanced range, pasture, and hayfield conditions, leading to good yields where hay was cut, although wet conditions occasionally slowed production. Corn, sorghum, and cotton crops generally showed good progress, with earlier-planted corn reaching the dough stage and cotton showing flowering and boll development. Watermelon and peanut crops also showed good conditions, and wheat harvest was nearing completion. Livestock remained in good condition due to ample forage, and most ponds had sufficient water. However, subsequent extremely hot, dry, and humid conditions with triple-digit temperatures led to a decline in topsoil and subsoil moisture, stressing some late-planted acres and increasing the need for irrigation, particularly for citrus. Despite the heat, corn and grain sorghum continued to mature, benefiting from earlier adequate moisture, and cotton generally maintained fair condition with boll set. Later, widespread rainfall, including up to 4.5 inches in some areas, brought renewed relief, improving overall row crop conditions, replenishing stock tanks, boosting pasture and range health, facilitating hay cutting and baling, aiding citrus, and supporting the continued development of crops like peanuts and sesame, though sunflower harvest was temporarily halted by the rain.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 1043 PM CDT Sat May 31 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Sunday night) Issued at 205 PM CDT Sat May 31 2025 Key Messages: - Low chances (<10-20%) for showers this evening across the southern Brush Country. Surface high pressure that has brought fair weather and slight northeasterly winds will move toward the Deep South resulting in the return of southeasterly, onshore flow tonight. Hi-res guidance still is throwing out isolated showers across the Southern Brush Country and into the RGV late this afternoon and into the evening. Given the low confidence in this scenario, no blending was done to the NBM PoPs since they generally maxed out at 10-20% in Duval and Webb County. Sunday is looking to remain partly to mostly sunny, allowing the Brush Country to warm back into the upper 90s and low 100s, while remaining slightly above normal elsewhere. The Heat Risk will remain at Moderate (level 2 of 4) in the Brush Country while remaining at Minor risk (level 1 of 4) elsewhere. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through next Friday) Issued at 205 PM CDT Sat May 31 2025 Key Messages: - Low chance of showers and thunderstorms Wed/Thu next week. - Major to Extreme risk of heat related impacts across the Brush Country mid-late next week. The forecast for the upcoming week keeps slowly back tracking on rain chances as ridging generally maintains control aloft. The first ridge will build overhead early in the week, before its center drifts eastward around mid week, and then another high pressure center takes a hold from the southwest. Low rain/storm chances (<25%) are forecast Wednesday and Thursday as PWATs briefly increase to near 1.8-2.0" and combine with daytime instability and the sea- breeze to spark isolated convection. The rest of the week will mostly be dry, but even drier conditions can be expected late week as a Saharan Dust plume begins to reach into our area. This could impact visibilities and possibly increase the risk for respiratory issues. Temperatures will be increasingly warmer throughout the week, and nearing 105 degrees out west by next weekend. The risk for heat related impacts will climb to Major to Extreme levels by mid week, and persist through the weekend. The highest heat threat will reside out west over portions of the Brush Country and Rio Grande Plains. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1041 PM CDT Sat May 31 2025 Partly cloudy VFR ceilings overnight. By early morning (10Z-13Z), expect patchy fog for ALI and VCT before VFR conditions return for all terminals. && .MARINE... Issued at 205 PM CDT Sat May 31 2025 Light to gentle (BF 2-3) southeasterly flow with 1-2 ft seas persist through Sunday morning. Winds in the inland bays and nearshore waters will briefly gust up to moderate (BF 4) strength Sunday afternoon. Onshore flow will increase to a moderate to at times fresh breeze (BF 4-5) Monday evening, persisting through the end of next week. There's a 15-25% chance for showers mid to late next week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
