Synopsis for high island to the matagorda ship channel out 60 nm including galveston and matagorda bays
generally moderate to fresh onshore winds are expected through much of the week. Caution flags may be warranted at times. We cannot rule out small craft advisory criteria being met at times farther offshore. Scattered storms are again possible on Sunday, mainly in the bays. Rain chances then gradually diminish early in the week.

New AVIATION

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Sunday Night)
Issued at 334 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024

Ongoing scattered convection across the northern half of the CWA will die off by early evening. Will be canceling the remaining parts of the Severe Thunderstorm Watch at the top of the hour.
Otherwise, looking quiet overnight with some isolated pockets of fog.

Heading into mid morning Sunday, we'll see some daytime heating and a seabreeze begin initiating. This combined with remnants of an elongated piece of vorticity (now in NW approaching W Tx)
should be enough to initiate some daytime shra/tstms. Like today, dynamics not looking too impressive for long lived severe wx, but cannot rule out a couple of isolated strong-severe cells and locally heavy downpours. Better shot of this occurring across the ene half of the CWA This activity should also die off toward the evening. 47

LONG TERM
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 334 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024

Diminishing rain chances and increasing temperatures can be expected early next week as ridging builds over Mexico. Impulses riding the peripheral of this ridge could still bring some isolated showers/storms on Monday, mainly in areas north of I-10 closer to the Brazos Valley/Piney Woods area. Stronger capping on Tuesday/Wednesday may greatly suppress rain chances on those days.
Along with the stronger cap, NAEFS and GEFS 850mb temperatures are forecasted to surpass the 90th climatological percentile on these days (even the 97.5th in some spots). The latest suite of global models still suggest 850mb temperatures reaching the 20-26C range during this period, with robust SW flow in the lower levels. This all looks to bring hotter conditions during this early/mid week period, with highs reaching the upper 80s to mid 90s on Tuesday/Wednesday. Persistent onshore winds are also progged to keep dewpoints in the mid/lower 70s during this period.

Global models show an elongated trough near the Upper Great lakes attempting for force a weak cold front southward into the Southern Plains/ArkLaTex region late in the week, but frontal systems have a tendency to stall out before reaching SE Texas during this time of the year. Still, the aforementioned upper trough may weaken the ridge's influence, improving afternoon mixing and providing some mild relief by the end of the work week.

AVIATION
(00Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 635 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024

The afternoon's storm activity is largely winding down, except for well northeast of the terminals, but also...right around CXO and IAH, because of course. These quick thunderstorms should be wrapped up in an hour or so. Beyond that, clouds should largely dissipate for most of the night, until the pre-dawn stratus returns. High confidence in getting CIGs here at least in low MVFR, but some guidance does show potential for some high IFR cloud bases as well. Am opting to be optimistic for now. Later in the morning, cloud bases lift, scatter, and set us up for another round of afternoon showers/storms. Seabreeze, as usual, should be the initial focus, so leave CLL, LBX, and GLS out of the action this time around.

MARINE
Issued at 334 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024

Onshore flow will gradually increase heading into the early and midweek time period. Look for a corresponding rise in seas.
Caution flags may be needed intermittently. Scattered storms are again possible on Sunday, mainly in the bays. Rain chances then gradually diminish early in the week. 47
