UPDATE
Issued at 1008 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024

The surface high pressure is off to the east of the CWA which has allowed some light southerly flow to come back into the area. We have not had enough moisture return to see more than light cloud cover as of yet. As a result, we will cool down into the 40s to 50s again tonight. The inherited afternoon grids are on track with current observations and model trends, so no changes were made.

SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Wednesday night)
Issued at 242 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024

Beautiful today with highs in the lower 70s under sunny skies.
This nice weather will continue into tomorrow, but with a warming trend as highs bump up to the middle and upper 70s. SFC high pressure remains elongated across the region Wed with mid level heights rising. This will push highs into the lower and middle 80s, but with TDs in the middle 60s...not terrible.

LONG TERM
(Thursday through next Sunday)
Issued at 242 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024

The latter half of the week will be dominated by warm and humid conditions more reminiscent of early summer than mid spring. High pressure over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico will combine with a pair of developing lows along the lee side of the southern Rockies to produce persistent breezy southerly winds Thursday through Sunday. NBM guidance presently keeps sustained winds a few MPH below advisory criteria, but could still become necessary especially Saturday.

Upper ridging extending from the Bay of Campeche across the western and northern gulf will keep a lid on convection through Saturday although waves of low and mid level moisture will yield more cloud cover especially Friday. The ridge axis is progged to shift into the Eastern gulf late Saturday, faster than previous runs, as another disturbance pushes a frontal boundary toward the coast Sunday. This looks to be our next significant chance of precipitation although confidence on the timing of this system is very low due to poor model consistency.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1120 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024

Light, variable winds are anticipated through at least sunrise with high pressure in control. Surface high will continue a movement to the east throughout the day Tuesday resulting in winds prevailing from the south-southeast and south after 15Z.
Daytime winds will increase to around 10 to 12 kts with some higher gusts in the mix from diurnal impacts. Winds decrease after 01 to 02Z, but will remain from the south.

VFR skies with only some high cirrus are expected thru much of the period. Southerly flow brings moisture and lower clouds in at BPT towards the end of the period with all terminals seeing some lowered VIS after 06Z.
