Synopsis for the middle texas coastal waters.. A moderate southeast flow will prevail today through tonight. Isolated showers are possible today, becoming scattered with a few Thunderstorms late tonight. Thunderstorms will continue during the day Friday, and are expected to taper off in the evening with the loss of daytime heating. Small craft advisory conditions will be possible over the gulf waters Friday morning through Saturday morning. Small craft advisory conditions could continue into Saturday afternoon when seas will subside below 7 feet. Weak to moderate winds will shift to the northwest Saturday, then turn to the northeast Saturday night. Weak to moderate onshore flow will return by Sunday night and persist through Tuesday. Flow will increase late Tuesday ahead of a cold front expected to cross the waters late Tuesday night and Wednesday. Isolated to scattered showers and perhaps an isolated Thunderstorm will be possible beginning Wednesday night.

AVIATION. 12Z TAFs
LRD currently at MVFR, and expected to remain MVFR through the period as low level clouds continue to move in from the west. All other sites currently experiencing VFR conditions, and will gradually become MVFR through the day as clouds develop due to an increase in low level moisture and an incoming upper level distubrance. Isolated showers are possible today through tonight. Did not include thunder in TAFs, but will mention the possibility of isolated thunderstorms for VCT. Rain chances increase Friday for all sites.
PREV DISCUSSION. /Issued 423 AM CDT Thu Apr 22 2021/
SHORT TERM (Today through Friday) .
An upper level short wave will track east, bringing a chance of rain to the area today. Best chances of rain remain in the Victoria Crossroads and northern Coastal bend due to southeasterly winds bringing deep moisture into the area and the afternoon sea breeze providing some lifting support. With a capping inversion in place, deep convection will be inhibited, so expecting primarily showers today.
Showers will continue through this evening. An approaching upper long wave trough will eject a moderate shortwave across S TX overnight tonight, leading to an increase in instability, low level convergence, and diffluence aloft. PWATs will increase to around 1.7" as well. With all of this in place, there will be an increasing chance of thunderstorms overnight tonight.
Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected Friday as a deep mid to upper-level trough moves into west Texas Friday morning, with a Pacific dryline expected to move in ahead of it. There will be sufficient energy aloft with the presence of positive vorticity and upper-level divergence. At the surface, an area of low pressure will strengthen over the Texas Panhandle, pulling the warm front northward to the OK/TX border. This will place South Texas in the warm sector, allowing warm moist air to build into the region. Soundings still reflect the cap weakening around 15Z, and continuing to weaken through the afternoon hours as CAPE values increase to around 2000 J/kg. A destabilizing cap, sufficient instability,and PWATs greater than 1.75" will create an environment suitable for the development of showers and thunderstorms. Additionally, isentropic lift, low-level moisture convergence ahead of the dryline, and mesoscale features such as an outflow boundary would help to initiate convection. An increase in effective shear during the afternoon hours along with a veering wind profile could allow for the development of organized severe thunderstorms, including supercells. The limiting factor continues to be the question of how strong the cap will be, so will continue to keep an eye on how models handle this destabilization. In previous cases, models have underdone the strength of the cap, which led to a lack of deep convection. At this time, we are watching to see how warm southwesterly flow at the 700-850mb level will affect the strength of the cap, but enhanced positive vorticity at this level may provide enough aid to break it.
The best chance for strong to severe thunderstorms remains in the Victoria Crossroads and northeastern counties. SPC has the Victoria area in a slight risk for severe weather, and northeast McMullen County to northern Aransas County in a marginal risk. All modes of severe hazards are possible, with the greatest risk being large hail and damaging winds.
LONG TERM (Friday Night through Wednesday) .
Showers and thunderstorms are likely to continue through midnight Saturday as a dryline approaches South Texas and the right entrance region of the subtropical jet settles over the area. A capping inversion could strengthen through the night, limiting precipitation chances. The dryline will push across the area by Saturday morning, bringing in dry air and effectively ending the chances for rain. An upper level ridge will then build in and persist until Tuesday. Temperatures will increase under this high pressure, with highs in the triple digits across the Brush Country by Tuesday. Heat index values may briefly reach 105 to 109 in isolated locations. With the drier air, warm temperatures, and moderate winds, fire weather may briefly become a concern across portions of South Texas.
Moisture will increase Tuesday into Wednesday ahead of another front. Timing on this is still questionable, but Tuesday night into Wednesday appears to be the general consensus. Given the uncertainty in timing and how far out in time this is expected, will continue to use the NBM as it seems to be a good compromise. Temperatures will be almost 10 degrees cooler Thursday than on Tuesday. Some isolated showers and perhaps a thunderstorm will be possible with this front.

A moderate southeast flow will prevail today through tonight. Isolated showers are possible today, becoming scattered with a few thunderstorms late tonight. Thunderstorms will continue during the day Friday, and are expected to taper off in the evening with the loss of daytime heating. Small Craft Advisory conditions will be possible over the Gulf waters Friday morning through Saturday morning. Small Craft Advisory conditions could continue into Saturday afternoon when seas will subside below 7 feet. Weak to moderate winds will shift to the northwest Saturday, then turn to the northeast Saturday night. Weak to moderate onshore flow will return by Sunday night and persist through Tuesday. Flow will increase late Tuesday ahead of a cold front expected to cross the waters late Tuesday night and Wednesday. Isolated to scattered showers and perhaps an isolated thunderstorm will be possible beginning Wednesday night.
