Amazing what we can see on Sky 5! The first front of the season will move through the RGV during the overnight hours. Could be a shower or t'shower with the front then windy and cooler for Wednesday (in the 70s)! #rgv #rgvwx

Another amazing South Padre Island sunset! The sun sets today at 7:29pm. It's roughly a minute earlier each day as we head into autumn. #rgv #rgvwx

Frost (ice) is forming on car windshields tonight. Frost is bascially frozen dew. Follow these simple instructions to get rid of it! #rgv #rgvwx

If you look closely, you can see a human walking around the base of the rocket. Each Raptor rocket engine produces twice as much thrust as all 4 engines on a 747. There are 33 Raptor engines powering the Starship rocket booster.

Looking forward to a weekend on the beach? Saturday's bayside sunset forecast is looking nice!

I had a great time discussing hurricanes and rapid intensification this morning on the NTWC+ podcast with @hurricanehal_, Bill Read, @KRGV_TimSmith , and @alexgarcia_wx. One listener question was about the tropical Atlantic SSTs in 1933 compared to now (2005 added as a bonus)...

We generally think of 2005 as the overactive, nonstop season. But after Dennis and Emily, at least there was a month break between hurricanes before the peak of season majors. Intraseasonal variability is a real thing. Even if a sizeable break after #Beryl, peak will be busy.

Here are some doppler estimated rainfall totals across the RGV as of 5:30pm Wednesday. The heaviest rainfall has been in Willacy County. Here at our studios, we've measured just over 3 inches of rain. More is on the way. #rgv #rgvwx

South Padre Island is a beautiful place to watch a storm, but it's not a good time to go in the water. Dangerous rip currents, high surf, large waves and, at times, gusty winds - will be the rule for Wednesday at the beach. Lots of warnings and advisories in place. #rgv #rgvwx
