SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Wednesday night)
Issued at 236 PM CDT Tue May 14 2024

Key Messages:

- Moderate risk of rip currents Wednesday.

- Slight chance (20%) for showers/storms late Wednesday night.

Generally quiet and tranquil weather conditions can be expected across South Texas tonight through Wednesday under weak ridging aloft. At the surface, high pressure will continue to progress eastward through the period leading to a gradual return to a southeasterly flow overnight. Moisture will rapidly increase across the area as we head into the Wednesday night period owing to a more moderate flow developing over the coastal waters. PWATs are progged to increase to above 2" across some locations late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The combination of the plentiful available moisture and the arrival of a mid to upper level disturbance will provide a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms late in the period. In terms of temperatures, lows tonight will be at near normal levels and in the mid 60s to low 70s. The rest of the period temperatures will be well above normal with highs in the upper 80s to upper 90s range, and lows in 70s areawide. Cloud coverage will increase again tomorrow night.

Along area beaches the rip current risk as been elevated to Moderate levels for Wednesday in response to a moderate onshore flow developing with swell heights increasing to around 3-4 feet with swell periods at 8 seconds. Although tide levels have been reaching 1.8 feet MSL at the time of high tide across the southern nearshore waters, no flooding has been observed. Tides will be a tad lower tomorrow, therefore not anticipating any coastal flooding hazards at this time.

LONG TERM
(Thursday through next Monday)
Issued at 236 PM CDT Tue May 14 2024

Key Messages:

- Low to medium (20-50%) chance of showers and thunderstorms Thursday.

- Elevated heat concerns possible Thursday and again early next week for the southern Coastal Plains.

Not much has changed since the previous forecast. A series of shortwaves will result in the development of showers and thunderstorms Thursday. With strong instability (CAPE values 3000+ J/kg across portions of South Texas), and ample low level moisture, expect that thunderstorms could become severe so the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has included the north and east portions of our area in a Marginal Risk for severe weather. PWATs are expected to be at or slightly greater than 2.0 inches which could lead to localized flash flooding. This looks like it will be generally confined to the northeastern portions of the area, so WPC has included this in a Marginal Risk for Excessive Rainfall. Rainfall could continue into Friday as a cold front slides through Central and eventually
maybe
into South Texas.

Temperatures are expected to warm through the middle of next week.
Thursday and Friday, we will see highs in the upper 80s to upper 90s. While this doesn't sound too unpleasant, humidity values will be quite high Thursday which could lead to heat index values approaching 110 over portions of South Texas. Models have hinted that the heat risk will be slightly lower over the weekend, likely due to drier air moving in behind the cold front. This relief will be short-lived as temperatures increase again early next week, bringing back heat index values nearing 110.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 627 PM CDT Tue May 14 2024

With limited moisture and the persistence from last night, think that the VSBY reductions will be limited again over. Low confidence that the lowest restrictions will be at 12z/Wed. Much like last night wouldn't be surprised if the VSBYs at ALI, CRP, and VCT are closer to 06z/Wed, and then improve to VFR again and remaining that way overnight. Once temperatures begin to warm Wednesday morning the day will remain VFR again.

MARINE
Issued at 236 PM CDT Tue May 14 2024

Moisture will increase across the waters through the day tomorrow. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected late Wednesday night through Thursday night. Weak to moderate onshore flow will continue through the middle of next week, with periods of more moderate flow expected Thursday across the southern bays and nearshore waters.
