moderate south to southeast winds and elevated seas will persist into the middle of the week. Both winds and seas will slightly diminish during the second half of the work week. Periods of haze and fog can be anticipated though it is not expected to become dense. The next cold front, and associated showers and Thunderstorms, is scheduled to push off the coast late Saturday night or Sunday morning followed by moderate northeast winds in its wake.

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Wednesday Night)
Issued at 315 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024

Another warm and humid night is on tap for tonight as lows continue to trend roughly 10 degrees above climatological normal values, and onshore flow continue to funnel in moisture. Showers continue to skirt just west of the Brazos Valley with a frontal boundary parked in the vicinity. Light winds and increased moisture may create a suitable environment for patchy fog development; however, not expecting fog to be dense.

Temperatures on Wednesday will be a few degrees warmer as southwesterly flow at the 850mb level continues to draw in warmer air, resulting in warmer surface temperatures. Persistent onshore flow will allow PWAT values to reach to 1.5-1.8" by Wednesday night, leading to another night of warm and muggy conditions. A few showers will be possible as an embedded shortwave passes over SE Texas; however, chances are slim as we remain in an area of subsidence with drier air aloft. Lows will once again be in the 70s area wide.

LONG TERM
(Thursday through next Monday)
Issued at 315 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024

Continued mostly cloudy, warm and muggy weather continues Thursday into Saturday. That said, though we will be seeing slightly higher chances of rainfall emerge with time as upper ridging situated across the southern Gulf begins to flatten locally.

A weak frontal boundary will be sagging south into Texas Thursday.
Guidance is in fairly decent agreement showing showers & thunderstorms developing along the front during the afternoon and evening hours well to our n/nw. With the loss of heating, these should mostly dissipate before reaching our CWA, but it's that time year where it's probably best to maintain some lowish chances in the fcst for our northern counties just in case things make it a bit further south than model consensus suggests.

Friday, isolated to scattered diurnally driven precip is possible in association with daytime heating, seabreeze, weak upper disturbances and/or remnant outflows in the area.

Saturday, the weak cold front that's been meandering to our north gets a southward push. Look for a line of showers and thunderstorms or MCS to develop in advance and track across the region overnight.
Though the more significant wx should mostly be over with Sunday morning, some of the latest guidance shows some lingering scattered precip ahead of the H85/H7 front continuing into the afternoon hours.

Clouds should gradually diminish Sunday night and we'll return to more seasonable wx conditions for a couple of days into early next week. 47
