10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

Synopsis for the middle texas coastal waters.. Patchy to areas of fog may develop over the bays and over the nearshore coastal waters tonight. Generally weak north to northwest wind tonight, then weak west to southwest Friday. An upper level disturbance may contribute to isolated showers this evening over the offshore coastal waters. Drier conditions later tonight through Friday as the upper system moves east. A weak front will shift winds to the north Saturday morning but offshore flow will redevelop by Saturday afternoon. Offshore flow will increase to moderate to strong levels Saturday night through early Monday morning ahead of an upper disturbance. Small craft advisory conditions are likely at times Saturday night through Monday morning, before a cold front Monday afternoon delivers strong northerly winds with potential for gale conditions Monday night and Tuesday. Some showers and a few Thunderstorms are likely on Monday with the front.

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Friday night).
Concur with the deterministic NAM and ECMWF that an upper level disturbance will move slowly EWD across the region during the period and maintain subsidence/drying conditions. Owing in part to drying aloft, anticipate a thermodynamic profile conducive to the development of radiation fog overnight/early Friday morning. NAM deterministic soundings at select locations suggest fog over much of the CWA. Yet, SREF probabilities suggest that fog will be restricted to the ERN CWA. Integrated the foregoing to predict patchy/areas of fog over the CWA. Unsure whether dense fog will occur with an areal coverage sufficient for dense fog advisory conditions. Will defer to later shifts. Water levels at Bob Hall Pier recently reached 2ft MSL, which is likely due to a combination of Ekman forcing (owing to persistent N/NE flow over the Coastal Waters) and the astronomical tide. Issued a CFW for the islands until 04z Friday.
LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday).
Upper level ridging on Saturday will become more zonal through Monday. A weak front will move through Saturday morning shifting winds briefly to the north. By afternoon, winds will return to the south with warm air advection. Southwest winds at 850mb and southerly surface winds will help temperatures to continue to warm on Sunday. Highs will reach the mid 80s, about 15 degrees above normal for mid December. Early next week an upper level trough moving across the Plains will send a cold front through South Texas. Southerly winds ahead of the front will bring enough moisture for showers Sunday night into Monday ahead of and along the front. Most of the rain will stay over the coastal waters with 40-50% for the Victoria Crossroads on Monday. Have continued the slight chance of thunder as well. Models have come into better agreement with timing of the front around 18Z on Monday. Drier air will lag the front a bit, but dewpoints will fall to the 20s and 30s by Tuesday morning. Highs will only reach the upper 50s to near 60 on Tuesday, then will drop to the low to mid 30s Tuesday night.
The GFS keeps the broad trough moving off to the east on Tuesday, but the ECMWF has a piece of the trough break off, sharpen and move across South Texas on Wednesday. Both models have surface high pressure and dry air move in behind the front and temperatures will moderate to the upper 60s by Thursday.
MARINE.
Based on recent observations/Wave Watch output with regard to seas, decided to extend the MWW until 00z Friday. A weak disturbance may generate isolated showers over mainly the Offshore Coastal Waters this evening/early tonight, before drying conditions develop later tonight through Friday as the upper system moves east. A weak front will shift winds to the north Saturday morning but offshore flow will redevelop by Saturday afternoon. Offshore flow will increase to moderate to strong levels Saturday night through early Monday morning ahead of an upper disturbance. Small Craft Advisory conditions are likely at times Saturday night through Monday morning, before a cold front Monday afternoon delivers strong northerly winds with potential for Gale conditions Monday night and Tuesday. Some showers and a few thunderstorms are likely on Monday with the front.

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. |
