New AVIATION

SHORT TERM
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 511 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Key Messages:

- Moderate risk of rip currents today through Friday

- Wind Advisory conditions possible Friday

- Isolated thunderstorms may occur over the Victoria Crossroads Friday

Deterministic NWP models predict an upper level disturbance to move across the southwestern CONUS today, then lift over the Plains tonight/Friday. In response, onshore flow will increase during the period. Frequent wind gusts may reach the Wind Advisory threshold over portions of the Coastal Bend Friday. No fire weather concerns owing to elevated relative humidity values. The NAM/GFS predict above normal PWAT values over the CWA during the period. The combination of the foregoing upper disturbance and moisture may contribute to isolated convection Friday afternoon over mainly the Victoria Crossroads region, with CIN as the caveat. The combination of persistent onshore flow and the full moon will result in a Moderate risk of rip currents today through Friday.

LONG TERM
(Friday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 511 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Key Messages:

- Medium to high chance of Wind Advisory conditions for portions of South Texas Saturday

- Very warm Saturday with highs near 100 degrees out west

- Low to medium rain/storm chances daily Sunday through Wednesday

A strong surface pressure gradient will develop over the area Saturday into Saturday night leading to a medium to high chance of Wind Advisory conditions. The threat will first begin over the Victoria Crossroads during the afternoon and then transition westward into the Coastal Plains and Brush Country during the early evening hours. The pressure gradient is forecast to relax by Sunday as the surface low over the Plains drifts northeastward and a surface high over the southeastern CONUS begins to build westward extending into the Gulf.

Low to medium rain and thunderstorm chances (20-40%) return to the forecast on Sunday as the next mid to upper level disturbance tracks over the area combining with plentiful available moisture (PWATs 1.7- 1.8"). A persistent onshore flow will continue to bring moisture into the region throughout the week (PWATs peaking at almost 2.0" at times). This, in conjunction with the arrival of several passing disturbances aloft, will lead to additional low to medium rain and convective chances daily through mid next week. The highest precipitation chances will be across the eastern half of the CWA through Tuesday, then drift westward mid week. No flooding concerns are expected at this time.

In terms of temperatures, these will be very warm on Saturday as a dryline nears the area from the west. Highs are forecast to approach the upper 90s to around 100 degrees over portions of the Brush Country and Rio Grande Plains, with maximums in the mid 80s across the east. Otherwise, expect highs to range from the low 80s to mid 90s through the end of the Extended period, with overnight lows generally in the upper 60s to mid 70s.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 628 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Expect a mixture of MVFR and VFR ceilings this morning through early afternoon, followed by predominate VFR during the mid/late afternoon through the evening. A transition to predominate MVFR ceilings is expected overnight. Breezy/windy onshore flow from late this morning through early tonight, followed by weak to moderate flow for the remainder of the period.
Non-convective LLWS anticipated for the ALI, CRP, and VCT terminals 10-12z Friday.

MARINE
Issued at 511 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

A persistent strong onshore can be expected through Monday, with periods of Small Craft Advisory or Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions.
