New AVIATION

SHORT TERM
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 217 AM CST Sat Dec 2 2023

Water vapor imagery this morning reveals an upper level ridge anchored across Caribbean and an upper level trough sliding across the Plains. Surface analysis places a frontal boundary draped across our coastal water. This boundary may meander back towards the coast a bit this morning before a reinforcing surge of high pressure pushes to south of our area. While our chances for fog are diminishing this morning, we will hold on to a low chance of seeing fog develop across the Coastal Bend and southern Coastal Plains.
This depends heavily on far inland the front retreats this morning.
Northwesterly winds in the wake of our high pressure surge will bring drier air into the region with PWATs falling to less than 0.5". Dry conditions are expected through the remainder of the weekend. Cooler temps are in store tonight with lows dipping into the low 40s to mid 50s.

LONG TERM
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 217 AM CST Sat Dec 2 2023

Overall, not too much change with this long term forecast update.
On Monday, a weak boundary may sag into the our northern counties but will mostly go unnoticed. A trough will be lifting across the Midwest as an upper low cuts off along the Baja coast. Through the early stages of the work week, this low will send a few batches of H5 vorticity through the area before opening up and lifting across the Gulf by mid week. We will still be fairly dry by then so not expecting much in the way of precip. A shortwave trough will move across the Southern Plains by Thursday/Friday. We will see a gradual increase in moisture late in the work week as onshore flow becomes reestablished. Despite the increasing moisture, left a dry forecast in place for now as there are only a few ensemble members showing precip across the area. Rain chances are reintroduced into the forecast next weekend as another upper trough looks to influence the region.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1126 AM CST Sat Dec 2 2023

The transition from MVFR ceilings to VFR, northwest to southeast across South Texas, will continue this afternoon, along with moderate northwest wind. VFR areawide this evening through the remainder of the TAF period, along with light wind.

MARINE
Issued at 217 AM CST Sat Dec 2 2023

Patchy sea fog remains possible along the coast this morning as a stalled cold front lingers across the coastal waters. A weak to moderate north-northwesterly flow will continue through the weekend as high pressure settles in. Winds will weaken early next week while gradually shifting back to the east. Dry conditions are in store over the weekend and into the work week.
