New AVIATION
SHORT TERM
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 234 AM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025
Key Messages:
- Breezy conditions again today
- Moderate risk of rip currents today and tomorrow
Not much change to the forecast. A mid-level ridge over Mexico has already started to slide eastward with the ridge axis expected to expand to the SE CONUS. Meanwhile, a mid-level low over the Desert Southwest digs further south before lifting northeast across the Southern Plains by the end of the period. Near the surface, a dryline will approach our western border and may result in low chances for some showers Wednesday evening. PWATs are progged to range 1.1-1.30 inches which is below normal and with a cap over the lower to mid levels, have maintained a low 15-25% chance for showers and thunderstorms tomorrow.
Breezy conditions are expected again today across the Coastal Bend and the Brush Country albeit a little lower with southeast winds around 15-20 knots gusting up to around 25 knots this afternoon.
Beach and marine hazards still exist today. We have a MODERATE risk of rip currents and Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions.
Seas are expected to be lower today, the P-ETSS is forecasting seas reaching around 1.5-1.6 feet MSL.
Afternoon temperatures today and tomorrow will range from the low 80s along the immediate coast, mid 80s east to around 100 out west.
Overnight lows will hover around the low to mid 70s region-wide.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 234 AM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025
Key Message:
- Shower and thunderstorm chances gradually increase through the week.
A fairly active pattern sets up for the long term forecast period as large scale troughing to the west shifts eastward. Several short waves are expected to bring rain chances for the latter half of the week. Chances will be low for Thursday as weak ridging remains over South Texas and the shortwave struggles to push energy this far south. By Friday into the weekend though, the short wave energy is stronger and farther south, thus we will see medium chances (40-60%)
for Friday through Sunday. At this time rainfall totals look to be mainly below an inch across most of the area, but with PWAT values rising above 1.5" by the end of the week, we could see localized higher amounts. We're still several days out from the best dynamics, so we'll likely see some adjustments in these amounts. NBM and ECMWF ensemble guidance both suggest a medium chance for above 1" qpf through this period, though GFS only indicates low probs.
Temperatures look very warm for the latter half of the week with 90s for much of the area away except for the Coastal Bend where southeasterly flow off the water will keep temperatures in the 80s.
The Rio Grande Plains will approach 100 Thursday. Combine this with dewpoints in the upper 60s and lower 70s, we'll see heat index values top 100 for some areas. As clouds and rain chances increase, we'll drop temperatures back into the 80s for the weekend.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1227 PM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025
Most of the forecast area is VFR, with tempo MVFR. Only VCT at the moment is MVFR. However, the clouds are lifting/mixing out as the last of the system to the north moves toward the northeast.
However, we are looking at another cycle of low clouds moving in as the winds settle down, and the moisture begins to pool in the low levels. So after 03z, am expecting that most CIGS will be MVFR with tempo IFR. It is looking like VCT and CRP could drop to around 5 miles around 11 or 12z and that could last until about 14z. Otherwise, Wednesday afternoon will be similar to the current day with clouds lifting and thinning by the afternoon.
MARINE
Issued at 234 AM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025
A moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) onshore breeze will be accompanied by seas from around 3 to 5 feet and periods of Small Craft Should Exercise Caution conditions into mid- week. Expect a moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) onshore flow Wednesday night, before weakening to gentle to moderate breeze (BF 3-4) Thursday through the weekend.
There is low to medium chances (20-50%) for shower and thunderstorms Friday through early next week.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 234 AM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025
No fire weather concerns through mid- week. Moisture will increase Thursday through the weekend, negating fire weather concerns. Low shower and thunderstorm chances Wednesday through Thursday will increase to medium Friday through the weekend.
