New AVIATION

SHORT TERM
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 231 AM CDT Mon May 6 2024

Quiet forecast through the short term period.

Will see some light rain/drizzle in the Coastal Plains into the Brush Country this morning as low level moist layer remains sufficiently deep and some weak low level vorticity moves across with a subtle kink in the isobars. Expect mainly trace to a couple hundredths of an inch amounts. By mid-day, with low level shortwave moving out and flow becoming more south to west, will end precip chances, and should see at least some breaks in the clouds. Upper level clouds coverage should be less today as well, but will likely keep the haze from agricultural burns in mexico.

Today begins a warming trend as warmer/drier air moves in through the low levels (especially over western parts of the area) with the aforementioned south/westerly winds. High temperatures today will approach 100 over the Rio Grande Plains. The 90s will be mostly confined to the Brush Country as moisture stays higher longer east, and low level winds remain out of the southeast. By Tuesday most of the area should be 90 or higher (minus coastal areas), and we'll top 100 west.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 231 AM CDT Mon May 6 2024

Key Messages:

- There is a high chance of heat index values 100 degrees or higher Tuesday through Thursday.

- A front Thursday night will usher in drier air and return temperatures to near normal for this time of year.

No significant changes to the long term forecast. The main story remains the very warm temperatures through Thursday, followed by a frontal passage leading to cooler and drier conditions over the weekend.

Persistent onshore flow will continue to advect moisture into the region, which combined with the very warm temperatures will lead to a moderate to major risk of heat-related impacts on the population, especially across portions of the Brush Country, Rio Grande Plains and southern Coastal Plains. Heat index values of 110-114 degrees will be possible during the afternoon hours Tuesday through Thursday. Therefore, Heat Advisories may be needed in following forecast packages. If spending time outside this week, please take this under consideration. Make sure to keep yourself hydrated, take frequent breaks from the heat and wear light and loose fitting clothes.

By the end of the week conditions will change in response to a frontal passage, which is progged to move across the area sometime Thursday night. Cooler temperatures are then in store Friday through the weekend. Highs will fall into the mid 80s to low 90s range, with overnight lows in the low 60s to near 70. A few showers and thunderstorms may accompany this boundary, but much drier conditions are expected in its wake. Onshore flow resumes late in the weekend as surface high pressure drifts eastward. Moisture return is expected to follow.

AVIATION
