Sea Breeze Explained: The science behind small summertime rain chances

BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – Over the past few weeks, small daily rain chances have been found in the Brazos Valley’s forecast. At most, those rain chances have been 20-30% each afternoon, with a very select few actually receiving rain. The thunderstorms across the Brazos Valley have been incredibly isolated and short-lived, which is on par with typical run-of-the-mill summertime showers. These showers are mainly initiated by the sea breeze, a daily weather phenomenon that occurs in regions near the coast, especially on clear, sunny days.
