DISCUSSION.

Updated for 00Z aviation discussion.

AVIATION.

MVFR to IFR conditions develop this evening and overnight for sites that are not there yet as isentropic lift and eventually a warm front move through the area. Expect this condition to last through much of the period with isolated showers also in the region. Have tempo LIFR condition for CRP toward morning, other sites may also reach LIFR, but less confident there. Breezy conditions develop for VCT/CRP Monday afternoon.

PREV DISCUSSION. /Issued 355 PM CDT Sun Mar 29 2020/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Monday Night) .

A warm front continues to push north through the evening, with onshore flow and some scattered showers moving through the area. Temperatures will remain nearly steady tonight, keeping us mild. Convection will continue through the short term as an upper level disturbance approaches and PWATs increase to near 2 inches. The upper disturbance will move north of the area for Monday, with an increasing chance of showers across the north through Monday afternoon. The associated frontal boundary will move across the area Monday night into Tuesday morning, shifting winds to offshore flow.

LONG TERM (Tuesday through Sunday) .

A weak frontal boundary will push through South Texas early Tuesday morning and offshore just before noon. Very little, if any, rain is expected with the front. Much drier air will filter in behind the front with midlevel ridging to occur. With the front being Pacific in origin, temperatures are not expected to be modified greatly, allowing highs to still warm into the 80s and 90s under clearing skies. Onshore flow will quickly return Wednesday as surface high pressure shifts to the east. Moisture will increase with the aid of a weak area of low pressure across northeastern Mexico and another weather system developing across the southern plains. An approaching mid-level shortwave will help trigger showers and a few thunderstorms Thursday as it moves across Texas. Rain chances will continue through Friday ahead of the next approaching cold front to move through some time Friday night or Saturday.

Warm temperatures will continue through Friday before cooling over the weekend into the upper 70s to lower 80s.

MARINE .

Easterly light to moderate winds will transition to southeasterly flow tonight and Monday as a warm front pushes north. Brief SCEC conditions will be possible through Monday. A slight chance of showers and an isolated thunderstorm will continue through Monday, then end Monday night. A weak frontal boundary is expected to move across the Waters Tuesday, and contribute to much drier conditions and weak to moderate northeast flow by Tuesday night. However, onshore flow and increasing moisture will return Wednesday, as surface high pressure moves east. Weak to moderate onshore flow will continue Thursday as surface low pressure deepens over the Southern Plains. The combination of an upper level disturbance and greater moisture will contribute to isolated showers and thunderstorms Thursday and Friday.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
