SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Friday night)
Issued at 225 AM CDT Thu May 2 2024

A largely uneventful forecast is expected during the short term period.

Regional radar imagery indicates that deep convection has remained well north of San Antonio tonight. Therefore, the likelihood of thunderstorms across the Victoria Crossroads early this morning is very low (less than 20%). The only other low chance for precipitation will be Friday afternoon over La Salle and Webb Counties. This low chance will be dependent on whether there will be sufficient forcing from mesoscale boundaries to support the development of robust updrafts.

Warm temperatures and abundant low level moisture will result in maximum apparent temperatures ranging from the mid 90s to low 100s today and Friday. These conditions will be a precursor to the increasing risk for heat related impacts next week.

LONG TERM
(Saturday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 225 AM CDT Thu May 2 2024

Key Messages:

- Increasing risk of heat related impacts next week.

Mainly dry conditions are expected through the long term period as moisture will be confined to a shallow surface layer...that will gradually get even more shallow as we head into next week. For Saturday, there is still the potential for an isolated storm coming out of the Sierra Madre and across into the Rio Grande Plains, however chances are low (10-20%). Beyond Saturday, winds above the surface shifting more to the south and southwest will bring drier conditions in the lower levels to leave only moisture confined to only within a couple thousand feet of the surface...and in the upper levels (maintaining some high cloud cover). This drier layer will also result in warming temperatures through next week. We'll start the week on Monday with highs around 100 west and in the upper 80s and lower 90s east. We'll quickly warm above 100 west through mid- week with highs approaching 110 by Thursday. If this verifies it would be our first high temperatures above 100 for the season. The risk of heat related illness will increase to moderate to high by mid-week, especially for vulnerable populations. While lower RH is expected west to keep heat index values near the temps, farther east heat index values will likely top 100 degrees.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 625 AM CDT Thu May 2 2024

MVFR ceilings will prevail across South Texas through the morning hours. Ceilings will gradually rise with COT/LRD transitioning to prevailing VFR by early afternoon. At ALI/CRP/VCT, there will be roughly a 50/50 chance of ceilings transitioning to VFR later in the afternoon. MVFR stratus is once again expected to build into all TAF sites during the evening hours. Winds throughout the forecast period will generally be from the south to southeast at 10-15 knots with a medium chance for gusts greater than 25 knots from mid-morning through late afternoon.

MARINE
Issued at 225 AM CDT Thu May 2 2024

A mainly weak to moderate onshore flow will persist through the weekend and into early next week. The persistent onshore flow will result in seas of 3-6 feet continuing into early next week.
