Synopsis for the middle texas coastal waters -
a weak to moderate onshore flow will continue as we head into the weekend. Rain chances will increase through the day Saturday as a cold front nears the region. By Saturday night, chances for showers and storms will jump up to 50-60% over the waters. The cold front will move offshore early Sunday morning with northeast winds increasing to 20-25 knots by Sunday afternoon. There is currently a high chance that small craft advisories will be issued for Sunday. Conditions are expected to improve on Monday as high pressure builds into the northwest gulf of mexico. Weak to moderate flow is expected through the remainder of the period.

SHORT TERM
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 234 AM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Key Messages:

▶ Marginal Risk for Severe Thunderstorms Saturday ▶ Moderate Risk of Rip Currents continues into the weekend

We've seen a few isolated showers and thunderstorms track across our northern counties overnight as a shortwave exits the region. At the surface, winds have gone light and variable. As a result, patchy fog is beginning to develop with visibilities generally ranging from 4-6 miles across the Coastal Plains and Victoria Crossroads.

As we head through the day, a cold front will move south across the state, eventually stalling just to the north of the CWA This boundary will linger across the central part of the state through mid day Saturday before it restarts its southern progression.
Meanwhile, another shortwave will eject out of Mexico this evening within the quasi-zonal flow aloft. Just as we saw yesterday, several CAMs are picking up on some convective activity crossing the Rio Grande and heading into the Brush Country late this evening. For now, have a 20-30% chance of showers and thunderstorms through late tonight.

The aforementioned cold front will begin to move south on Saturday. Our chances for showers and thunderstorms will ramp up as the boundary inches closer. We are now carrying a 30-50% chance across our northern tier of counties through Saturday evening.
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Saturday afternoon as instability increases through the day. Forecast soundings reveal MLCAPE nearing 2000 J/kg and 0-6km shear around 40 knots. Therefore, SPC has included our northern tier of counties within a Marginal Risk for Severe Thunderstorms tomorrow.
Rain chances continue to increase as we head into the long term forecast.

LONG TERM
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 234 AM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Key Messages:

-Scattered to Numerous Thunderstorms Saturday evening into Sunday morning

-Marginal Risk for Severe Weather Saturday night into Sunday morning

A mid-level disturbance will move into the area Saturday that will send a boundary through the area Saturday evening into Sunday morning. This will combine with moderate instability ahead of the boundary (1500-2000 J/kg) and above normal PWAT values for this time of year (1.7-1.9 inches). Models depict 0-6km bulk shear around 30- 40 knots which would be a supportive environment for storms to be sustained. These factors will allow for convection to likely develop and be scattered to numerous in coverage. There is a low chance that these storms could become severe in nature. Due to this SPC included the northern portions of the CWA in a Marginal Risk for Saturday into Sunday morning. After the passage of this boundary cooler temperatures will be expected into early next week with high temperatures in the low to mid 70s. This will unfortunately be short lived, as temperatures return to the mid 80s to lower 90s by mid week.

As of writing, VFR conditions are currently in place everywhere but VCT as MVFR has settled in. However, ceilings are likely to bounce between VFR and MVFR over the next few hours. Southeasterly winds will begin to increase through the morning with gusts around 20-25 knots expected through the afternoon. Another round of low level stratus is likely tonight with MVFR returning by 03-06Z. IFR cigs are also possible, generally at ALI/VCT after 09Z.
