DISCUSSION.

Updated for 12Z Aviation Discussion.

AVIATION.

VFR conditions will continue through this evening with light northeasterly winds shifting to the south. Guidance shows fog developing overnight for the Coastal Bend so included MVFR at CRP and LIFR at ALI and VCT starting around 09Z.

PREV DISCUSSION. /Issued 314 AM CST Sat Dec 7 2019/

SHORT TERM (Today through Sunday) .

Surface high pressure will continue to build south leading to a cool, dry day. Temperatures will be about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday, but low 70s are normal early December. As the surface high pressure moves off to the east overnight, winds will shift to the south and moisture will increase. Fog will be possible overnight, especially for the Coastal Bend. Onshore winds and increased moisture will help temperatures to warm back above normal to the upper 70s for Sunday. Moisture return will also increase cloud cover, especially through the morning.

LONG TERM (Sunday Night through Thursday Night) .

Overall, the main change in this forecast update is going to be a generally lowering of rain chances. The pattern hasn't changed much though. Will still expect a very warm day on Monday as south to southwesterly flow develops. Highs will be 10 to 15 degrees above normal (or more). Cold front is still forecast to move through late in the night Monday night or early Tuesday morning Most guidance has the front approaching the coast by around 6am Tuesday. Latest guidance is keeping moisture more to the north of the area likely due to the drier mid level southwesterly flow. Will still keep a low end chance PoP east, with slight chances in the Brush Country. High temperatures will likely occur prior to sunrise for most areas with daytime temperatures in the 50s or lower 60s as clouds linger much of the day. Driest air moves into the region late in the day Tuesday and Tuesday night. Low temperatures Tuesday night should drop into the lower 40s and upper 30s. Moisture increase late week is much weaker than previous models indicated. PWAT values remain below 1 inch, but could still see isolated showers mainly east Thursday afternoon through Friday morning. Temperatures should be near or slightly below normal for the end of the week.

MARINE . Weak to moderate offshore winds today will shift to the south overnight and continue through Sunday. There is a slight potential for sea fog Monday as near 70 dewpoints over run 68 degree water temperatures. Onshore flow will increase to moderate levels Monday ahead of a cold front that moves through the region early Tuesday morning. Scattered showers can be expected with the front. Expect strong north winds around 25 knots with gusts near 30 knots in the wake of the boundary which result in SCA conditions Tuesday and Tuesday Night. Weak onshore winds return on Wednesday.

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.
