SHORT TERM
(This evening through Tuesday Night)
Issued at 310 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024

Hope you like fair weather, because that's about all there is to talk about in this portion of the forecast. High pressure over the region is drifting eastward, while zonal...ish flow carries on aloft. There are some ripples in the stream in the upper flow, but with their relatively low amplitude and general lack of moisture available, these aren't likely to do much more than modulate the amount of cloud cover across Southeast Texas. It's a little different over the Gulf where there's more ample moisture in the column, but today's showers off of Matagorda Bay are still likely as exciting as it gets through tomorrow night.

Beyond talking about clouds and rain chances (or lack thereof), we could try to talk about temperatures, but even these are pretty straightforward. This afternoon's highs should pick up a few degrees on yesterday, and though we start to see winds turn onshore with the high moving off, tonight still looks relatively cool. Lows range from the upper 40s off towards the Piney Woods, in the lower 50s for most of the rest of inland Southeast Texas, with temps getting hung up around/above 60 degrees on the Gulf Coast. Just a few degrees warmer than last night, and still 5-10 degrees below seasonal averages. We'll speed things up a little more tomorrow as onshore flow becomes more firmly established. Expect highs to be closer to 80 than 70, and little to none of the area falling below 60 degrees tomorrow night.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday through next Sunday)
Issued at 310 PM CDT Mon Apr 22 2024

Partly in response to increasing/strengthening south to southeast winds, warming temperatures are still expected across the area throughout this period (highs in the 80s each day and lows mainly in the 70s). Generally expecting partly cloudy skies during the days and mostly cloudy skies during the nights. Heading into the end of the week and over the weekend, ridging aloft will move eastward, and the developing southwest flow aloft will allow for weak impulses/disturbances to move across the state and bring low rain chances (really on the low side) for mainly our far northwestern and northern counties.

Brief periods of MVFR conditions due to scattered to broken low clouds and patchy fog will be possible at times tonight. Winds will become more southerly during the day at around 10 knots. MVFR conditions become more widespread from west to east towards the end of this TAF cycle. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected through most of the period.
