Synopsis for the middle texas coastal waters.. Weak onshore flow will become offshore overnight as a cold front moves through the area. A brief period of sea fog will occur this evening over the near shore waters into the bays north of rockport before the cold front moves through. Northerly winds will strengthen after midnight to strong levels Thus a small craft advisory will be in effect through mid afternoon Saturday before winds begin to subside late in the day. Moderate northerly winds will turn easterly late Saturday night and through the day on Sunday. Southeasterly flow will redevelop on Monday and increase through the second half of the week.

Area Forecast Discussion . UPDATED National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 740 PM CST Fri Mar 5 2021
MARINE.
The dry pacific front has stalled along the coast this evening. Warm moist air with dewpoint temperatures in the lower to mid 60s moving across the cooler shelf waters has led to the formation of fog over the near shore waters this evening. Expect this to be a brief episode as the next cold front is moving south out of south central Texas this evening. This cooler and drier air will reach the coastal region before midnight. Issued a Marine Weather Statement to cover areas of sea fog producing low visibilities over the near shore waters into the bays north of Rockport this evening.
PREV DISCUSSION. /Issued 545 PM CST Fri Mar 5 2021/
AVIATION .
The dry front has stalled along the coast from near Port Lavaca to NAS Corpus Christi. Mostly clear skies and VFR conditions will occur this evening into the early overnight hours, except for the Laredo area. Areas of blowing dust over the lower Trans Pecos to the Del Rio area will move south-southeast. The dust could lower vsbys to MVFR levels at LRD from 02-06Z. A secondary cold front will move into the region by late this evening with winds becoming gusty over the coastal plains. Low level moisture behind the cold front will arrive before daybreak with MVFR ceilings becoming prevalent across south Texas by 12Z Saturday. The ceilings will lift to VFR levels from 17-19Z with possible clearing reaching the VCT area by late afternoon. Could see patchy fog/MVFR vsbys along the coast east of the frontal boundary this evening until the next front arrives by late this evening.
PREV DISCUSSION . /Issued 355 PM CST Fri Mar 5 2021/
SHORT TERM (Tonight through Saturday Night) .
A cold front is currently draped across the forecast area. As of 3PM from west of Victoria to west of Alice. The front should slow a bit as it approaches the coast this afternoon. Dry air and gusty winds have settled in for western areas developing a marginal fire weather risk. A fire danger statement is in effect through 6pm when winds will subside.
Near the coast, winds are still south or southeast, and if these winds can continue, could see some sea fog develop before the drier air moves in late in the evening. For now have just mention of patchy fog, with the pre-frontal wind-shift already pretty close to the coast.
Overnight, the front will push the rest of the way through. The airmass will be modifying however, and some moisture around the 925-850 layer currently wrapped around the low will work its way southward bringing an increase in low level clouds late in the night. These clouds will stick around into the early morning, but should decrease as the day goes on. The clouds will keep low temps tonight mainly in the 50s. Expect temps tomorrow to warm into the lower 70s for most of the area with mid 60s along the coast. Global model guidance wants to develop some QPF tomorrow, mainly offshore and along the coast, but isentropic levels indicate a pretty subsident atmosphere, so will continue to leave the chance out of the forecast. With less cloud cover Saturday night, expect lows into the mid and upper 40s for much of the area.
LONG TERM (Sunday through Friday) .
A subtle H5 shortwave will exit the region Sunday with surface onshore flow to return. A slight return in moisture may be enough for light rain Sunday afternoon/night across the southern Coastal Bend and southern Brush Country from weak isentropic lift at the 275K level. As the shortwave continues to exit, the next longwave trough digs across the western CONUS while ridging develops across Texas through much of the upcoming week. This will allow temperatures to warm into the mid/upper 70s across the Coastal Bend to the upper 80s/near 90 degrees out west across the Brush Country by Wednesday.
The middle level pattern will also aid in several surface lows to develop across the southern high plains, leading to breezy/windy conditions by mid-week. As a result, small craft advisories will be possible for the latter half of next week for the gulf waters and possibly the bays.
MARINE .
Weak onshore flow will become offshore overnight as a cold front moves through the area. A brief period of sea fog will be possible this evening before the front. Northerly winds will strengthen after midnight to strong levels thus a small craft advisory will be in effect through mid afternoon Saturday before winds begin to subside late in the day. Moderate northerly winds will turn easterly late Saturday night and through the day on Sunday. Southeasterly flow will redevelop on Monday and increase through the second half of the week.
