SHORT TERM
(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 331 AM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024

Deterministic models predict a slowly progressive pattern over the CONUS during the period, with an upper level ridge (with N-S axis) is expected to move eastward across the central CONUS (including TX) today, while an upper level disturbance enters the west coast tonight then approaches the Four Corners region Thursday. Although above normal PWAT values are expected to persist over the CWA during the period, no significant precipitation expected owing to significant CIN/subsidence today, and greater CIN Thursday. In response to the foregoing upper disturbance to the west, breezy/windy conditions are expected over the CWA Thursday afternoon. Yet, Elevated fire weather conditions are not expected due to elevated relative humidity values. The nearness to the full moon and increasing onshore wind speeds will contribute to a Moderate risk of rip currents Thursday. Will retain the NBM maximum temperatures today/Thursday over the CWA, which are slightly warmer than both the HRRR and SREF ensemble mean values.

LONG TERM
(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 331 AM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024

Key Messages:

- Medium to high chance of patches of Wind Advisory conditions Thursday night into Friday.

- Very warm on Saturday with highs nearing the triple digits out west.

Not much of a change from previous Extended forecast package. A series of mid to upper level disturbances will combine with pockets of above normal moisture to provide a slight chance (20-30%) for showers and thunderstorms Friday and again Sunday through Tuesday. A few frontal boundaries will also accompany the upper level systems Friday and Sunday, but these will generally only make it into portions of the Rio Grande Plains. Aside from this, the main hazard through the long-term range is a strong southeasterly flow developing and leading to brief periods of Wind Advisory conditions over portions of the Brush Country Thursday night and across the Coastal Bend and Victoria Crossroads on Friday. Winds are also forecast to be elevated across the coastal waters through the entire cycle leading to SCEC to SCA conditions. Otherwise, expect increasingly warmer temperatures into the weekend with a medium chance (50%) of maximums exceeding 100 degrees across the west on Saturday, or 95 degrees or above daily through Tuesday.
