New AVIATION
SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Friday night)
Issued at 138 PM CDT Thu Oct 10 2024
Key Messages:
- Risk for minor coastal flooding and High Risk of rip currents continues through 12z Saturday
-TCEQ Issued Ozone Action Day Continues Today
A broad mid level ridge over the southern Rockies and a surface ridge over the southeast U.S. stretching into South Texas will maintain dry and tranquil conditions for the next few days. The very weak NE boundary layer flow is bringing higher smog levels to Victoria and Corpus Christi Today. Surface winds will become onshore tonight increasing boundary layer humidities with dwpts getting back into the mid 60s on Friday improving our air quality.
Skies will remain clear allowing temps to warm into the upper 80s/low 90s which is near climatology. Expect overnight lows in the low to mid 60s.
Long period swells from Milton will continue to affect our beaches for another day. Wave periods have been running 10-11 seconds at the offshore buoys all day. The P-ETSS guidance continues to indicate the potential for above normal tides (reaching 2.25 ft MSL at Port Aransas overnight) and (2.5 ft on North Beach Friday AM) for the next high tide cycle. Thus will maintain the Coastal Flood Advisory and the high risk for rip currents until wave period drop below 8 seconds which is around 12z Saturday.
LONG TERM
(Saturday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 138 PM CDT Thu Oct 10 2024
Fairly quiet weather conditions will persist through most of the Extended period across South Texas. Mid to upper level ridge will build in from the west as we head into the weekend and maintain its grip over the area through early next week. A mid-level trough is then progged to dig southward from the Great Lakes area into the SE CONUS around mid week, which could allow for an associated frontal boundary to slide through into the region. There is still some uncertainty in regards to the timing and southwestward extent of this boundary, but have continued to carry those slightly cooler temperatures Wednesday through Friday next week, with FROPA sometime Tuesday night. If the front does indeed swing across the region, we can expect highs to range from the lower to mid 80s mid-week with lows falling into the upper 50s and mid 60s. If the front doesn't make it, then temperatures will continue to be on the warmer side topping out in the low to mid 90s. In terms of precipitation, rain chances will remain minimal and mostly confined to the offshore waters through next week.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1014 PM CDT Thu Oct 10 2024
Generally light winds will continue through Friday. VFR conditions are expected. There is a low chance of patchy fog for portions of the Coastal Plains so have introduced a TEMPO for IFR visibility from 10Z-13Z.
MARINE
Issued at 213 AM CDT Thu Oct 10 2024
Weak to moderate southerly flow is expected through this weekend into early next week with wave heights at around 1 to 2 feet. A cold front Tuesday night will shift winds to an offshore flow and increase them to moderate levels. This will result in periods of Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions through mid-week. No precipitation is expected through mid next week.
