Synopsis for the middle texas coastal waters -
weak to moderate onshore flow expected today. The combination of an approaching upper level disturbance and frontal boundary will increase the chance for showers and Thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight. Some Thunderstorms may become strong. Strong offshore flow and drier conditions are expected Sunday after frontal passage. Moderate to strong northeast flow Sunday night will weaken to weak to moderate levels by Monday. Winds will shift to the east Monday afternoon then again Monday night to the southeast. Weak to moderate southeast winds are expected all of next week beginning Monday night.

SHORT TERM
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 411 AM CDT Sat Apr 20 2024

An upper level disturbance is expected to move across the region tonight/early Sunday. Current PWAT values 1.3-1.6 inches (satellite-based and LAPS), yet the NAM predicts PWAT values to increase to 1.75-2.00 inches over the Coastal Plains this afternoon. Select NAM deterministic soundings suggest that parcels will reach their respective LFCs near a frontal boundary that is predicted to move across the CWA tonight. The front is currently quasi-stationary approximately just north of the CWA Expect this boundary to begin to trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms over the northern CWA this afternoon. Scattered/numerous convection will continue as the front moves S/SE across the reminder of the CWA tonight. Expect environmental conditions in advance of and along the front to be favorable for supercells (per NAM deterministic BRN values). Concur with SPC with regard to the areawide Marginal risk of severe storms. WPC depcits a Marginal risk of Excessive rainfall for potions of the Victoria Crossroads and northern Brush Country for today/tonight. PWAT values are predicted to reach at least 2SD above normal over the Victoria Crossroads this afternoon, yet conditions not quite conducive to efficient rainfall production (0-6 km vertical wind shear and less than saturated conditions in the 0-4km layer), and thus the 1-hr FFG of 3-4 inches may not be met. However, if the front moves slowly southward, flash flooding thresholds could be met. Drier and cooler conditions expected Sunday afternoon after frontal passage.

LONG TERM
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 411 AM CDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Zonal flow will setup in the wake of the front with cooler weather to begin next week. By mid-week, a mid to upper level ridge will slide into the region beginning yet another warming trend, with temperatures peaking late next week with a low to medium chance for daytime highs to reach 100 degrees across the Brush Country and Rio Grande Plains. Highs early next week are expected to range in the 70s before gradually warming into the 80s by mid week and 80s to 90s late next week. As for our overnight lows, 50s and 60s can be expected early next week before warming into the 60s and 70 mid week and 70s by late next week. Rain free conditions are expected all of next week.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1044 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

A mixture of VFR to MVFR conditions is ongoing across area terminals. Eastern sites are forecast to fall into IFR levels temporarily by early Saturday morning. A few showers and thunderstorms will be possible through the night as a mid level disturbance moves through the region. Convection is expected to increase in coverage as we head into Saturday afternoon/evening as a cold front slides across the area. Sites will return to VFR during the afternoon hours on Saturday, but will drop back into MVFR levels as the aforementioned boundary approaches the area heading into the evening period. Winds will generally be light to moderate out of the east, then winds will shift around to the northeast behind the boundary Saturday night.

MARINE
Issued at 411 AM CDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Weak to moderate onshore flow today. The approach of an upper level disturbance and cold front will increase the chance for showers and thunderstorms tonight/early Sunday. Environmental conditions may become favorable for strong storms. Drier conditions are expected Sunday afternoon. Moderate to strong northeast flow Sunday night will weaken to weak to moderate levels by Monday. Winds will shift to the east Monday afternoon then again Monday night to the southeast. Weak to moderate southeast winds are expected all of next week beginning Monday night.
