SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Friday night)
Issued at 217 PM CDT Thu Sep 12 2024
Key Messages:
- Coastal Flood Advisory in effect through at least Saturday evening
Dry and warm weather is expected to continue tonight through tomorrow night with temperatures near to slightly above normal. With temperatures increasing a bit along with the available moisture, heat index values tomorrow are expected to climb to the 100-107 degrees range. Fog is possible again tonight with a medium to high chance for patchy fog from the Coastal Plains to the Victoria Crossroads with a low to medium chance for pockets of dense fog within those areas.
The main focus of the short term forecast remains with the lingering effects of Francine. The P-ETSS model continues to show elevated water levels of 2.5 ft above MSL through Friday with a low to medium chance of waters levels approaching close to 3 ft above MSL across some locations. With the water levels remaining elevated and reports of coastal flooding this morning across the region, extended the Coastal Flood Advisory through Saturday afternoon with a medium chance that another extension might be needed. Apart form the coastal flooding, the rip current risk was also increased to a moderate risk for tonight and tomorrow. While winds will be light and wave heights have subsided, long period swells along with water exiting the points of egress could promote dangerous currents.
LONG TERM
(Saturday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 217 PM CDT Thu Sep 12 2024
We'll stay hot and dry Saturday, with highs in the 90s along the coast to near 100 degrees over the Brush Country. Expect these temperatures to continue into next week, with heat index values increasing to 105-109 degrees.
By Sunday, the remnants of east Pacific Tropical Depression Seven will move over Texas, bringing higher moisture and a weak vortex max. This will increase our cloud cover and will result in a low to medium (20-40%) chance of showers and thunderstorms. Model guidance is a little inconsistent with what to do with this energy. The GFS is a little more robust, leaving the moisture in place a little longer than the ECMWF, but at this point, it's the difference between isolated or scattered convection for Sunday into early Monday. Once the work week begins, we'll have high pressure building in again with our only hopes of rain riding along the sea breeze.
Minor coastal flooding and an elevated rip current risk are likely to continue into the middle of the week before long period swell and full moon influences finally diminish.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 559 PM CDT Thu Sep 12 2024
VFR conditions will continue through the evening hours across South Texas. As winds become light and variable overnight, patchy fog will once again develop at ALI/CRP/VCT. Periods of MVFR/IFR vis will be possible around sunrise. Can't rule out brief LIFR at ALI/VCT but confidence is low. VFR returns by 14/15Z. Winds will increase out of the south-southeast around 10 knots through the day Friday.
