DISCUSSION.

00Z aviation discussion follows.

AVIATION.

Continued VFR with light winds through Friday. One model indicates light fog around VCT by daybreak, but for now this appears very unlikely.

PREV DISCUSSION. /Issued 257 PM CST Thu Jan 23 2020/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Friday Night) .

Quiet weather in the short term as high pressure builds into the region. Northwest winds will turn northeast and diminish after sunset. High pressure drifts off to the east late in the day Friday and Friday night, turning winds back off the Gulf and beginning to build moisture once again.

With dry but not arctic air tonight, lows will still get down into the 40s everywhere except along the immediate coast. Highs will get into the 60s east and 70s west on Friday, then lows Friday night will be a few notches above tonight as Gulf winds return.

Will continue to monitor Gulf water levels through the afternoon, but levels are running a third to a half a foot less than 24h ago, and models are suggesting levels will stay below advisory criteria.

LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday) .

Saturday continues to look wet with a quick return of moisture combined with a developing surface trough and an upper level short wave. A strong upper jet streak and weak instability may lead to a few thunderstorms, but mostly showers are anticipated Sat due to a weak capping inversion. The surface trough and associated upper short wave are progged to shift east and northeast Sat night with a weak front/high pressure building across the area Sun in its wake. Surface winds shift to the north by late Sat night/Sun morning and drier air filters across the area Sun. However, temps will be warmer Sunday than Saturday. By Sunday night, light winds and clearing skies will allow temps to drop to the mid 40s to mid 50s.

Onshore flow returns by Monday ahead of the next upper level system and its associated cold front. Moisture also returns once again Monday with increasing rain chances by Tue as the cold front moves through S TX. Model solutions diverge the latter part of next week with the GFS being more aggressive/wetter than the ECMWF with regards to another upper disturbance and cold front progged to move through S TX sometime next Thu.

As for temps, slightly above normal temps are expected through the first half of next week, becoming more normal the latter part of the week.

MARINE .

Offshore flow tonight will turn easterly on Friday, then onshore by Friday night. A weak to moderate onshore flow Saturday will become weak offshore flow by late Saturday night into Sunday in response to a weak frontal boundary moving through the area. Numerous showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible Sat/Sat night then decreasing from west to east through Sun. A weak onshore flow returns by Monday.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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.
