a tightening pressure gradient will enhance winds and seas through Wednesday. Caution flags will be warranted at times over the next few days. Seas could approach small craft criteria at times well offshore. Winds and seas should begin diminishing as we head into the second part of the work week. Shower and Thunderstorm chances, though not zero, will be much lower than we have seen recently.

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Monday Night)
Issued at 354 PM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024

Activity has begun to develop over our north/northeastern CWA this afternoon, but coverage, so far, has been limited. But will likely maintain scattered POPs for these areas through the evening hours, as daytime heating persists. Showers/storms should decrease by to- night with the passage of the short wave and loss of heating, with the best rain chances moving N/NE of the CWA So for SE TX, mostly cloudy skies should prevail with warm/quiet/humid weather in place for the rest of the overnight period. Lows will range from the mid to upper 70s for most areas, near 80 along the immediate coast.

Mon is expected to be another warm/humid day with highs generally in the lower 90s...upper 80s at the beaches. Rain chances will continue to be tricky as much of the guidance is still having issues with the timing of the next MCS from the west. Current runs are pointing to a late Mon night passage across Central TX to the east. This still has the best/highest POPs for areas going further north into our CWA Of note, SPC's Day 2 Outlook does include the northern parts of Houston county in a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5)...with a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for locations generally north of a line from Caldwell-Conroe- Cleveland. Otherwise, lows to range from the mid to upper 70s across much of the area, around 80 along the immediate coast once again. 41

LONG TERM
(Wednesday through next Sunday)
Issued at 1205 AM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024

The main concern through the long term will be the return of the heat. A long fetch of southerly flow at the surface driven by a surface high pressure in the SE CONUS will help drive the temperatures and dew points up. High temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s Tuesday through next weekend with afternoon heat indices rising to near 100 to 107 degrees. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 70s for most inland locations with areas along the immediate coast not dropping below 80 degrees. Also because of the higher dew points along the coast, overnight heat indices may not drop below 90 degrees.

Rain chances through the upcoming week will be fairly low. The chances are slightly higher Tuesday and Wednesday as we get some weak disturbances slide overhead combined with daytime heating, but even then not looking like anything impressive as of right now. Those low rain chances drop even lower as we head towards the end of the week as a ridge of high pressure begins to build over Texas.

AVIATION
(06Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 1205 AM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024

MVFR conditions beginning to emerge at non-TAF sites, but should expand to become the rule across SE TX overnight and perhaps even some light sprinkles. Winds should stay strong enough to keep conditions as stratus, and largely keep fog at bay. However, where winds go slack, some briefly reduced VSBY could occur.
Improvement back to VFR through the morning, with gusty southeast/south winds emerging for the afternoon. Confidence increasing in afternoon showers and storms mostly impacting northeast of all terminals, but could initiate close enough to UTS and CXO, that a period of VCTS is prudent at those two sites.

MARINE
Issued at 1205 AM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024

Light to occasionally moderate onshore flow will persist through the middle of next week with seas around 3 to 5ft. Small craft may need to exercise caution at times, especially during the overnight hours as wind gusts to near 20kt. There will be continued chances for showers and thunderstorms through the weekend. Some storms may become strong to severe producing locally gusty winds and elevated seas. The persistent onshore flow will also lead to a high risk of strong rip currents through the weekend.
