as high pressure moves off to the east, onshore winds have begun to return to the area. These south to southeast winds will be strengthening over the next several days under a tightening pressure gradient. Seas are expected to increase over the weekend as well. These mainly moderate onshore winds and elevated seas can be expected to persist until the next cold front moves through the area on Tuesday. Offshore winds will develop and strengthen behind the front, and at this time it looks like the strongest winds and highest seas will be focusing on the Tuesday night through Wednesday morning time period.

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Friday Night)
Issued at 339 PM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Clear/dry and warming weather will continue through the short-term as a weak/flat ridge aloft settles over the region and the onshore flow strengthens in response to lowering surface pressure over the Southern Plains. Low-level moisture will be slowly returning to SE TX with this pattern. Lows tonight will be in the lower to mid 50s for most locations...lower 60s at the coast. Highs tomorrow should be in the mid to upper 70s...lower 70s on the beaches. And for to- morrow night, lows will be slightly warmer, in the upper 50s north to around 60s elsewhere. 41
LONG TERM
(Saturday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 339 PM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
With surface high pressure off to our east and lower pressures off to our north and northwest, we are still looking at increasing clouds and warmer temperatures over the weekend and into the start of next week under persistent south to southeast winds (it will be breezy at times). The warming trend will be reflected well in our afternoon highs, with readings around 80 on Saturday, low to mid 80s on Sunday and mid to upper 80s on Monday (it is possible extra or more expansive/extensive cloud cover could shave a degree or two off of these highs). Low temperatures will be in the low to mid 60s on Sunday morning and in a mid 60s to lower 70s range on Monday morning. Our next cold front is still on schedule for Tuesday, and with latest forecast we have the boundary entering our northern counties shortly before or around sunrise and then moving off the coast in the morning through early afternoon hours (earlier in the Matagorda Bay area and later in the Galveston Bay area). It will initially become breezy behind the front (especially Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning/afternoon) with winds weakening and gradually shifting back to the northeast to east to southeast Wednesday night through Thursday night as high pressure over the area moves off to the east. The front will cool the area back down with the Tuesday night-Thursday night period seeing lows mainly in the 50s and highs in the 70s.

VFR forecast will continue. Very light/variable winds early this aft- ernoon will be transitioning to a light SE flow through the remainder of the afternoon (5-9kts) into the overnight hours. Falling pressures over the Southern Plains will help to strengthen S/SE winds tomorrow.
