a long fetch of moderate south and southeast winds will continue across the western gulf today, resulting in continued hazardous winds and seas. Rip current risk is expected to remain high throughout the weekend. Decreasing winds and seas are expected Sunday into Monday, before increasing somewhat by the middle of the week. Shower and Thunderstorm chances will increase Sunday and continue into next week as increased gulf moisture interacts with a series of upper level disturbances.

SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Sunday night)
Issued at 132 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025
Key Messages:
- Low (20-30%) chance for isolated showers/thunderstorms to develop across Brush Country this evening, increasing to more moderate (30-50%) chances by Sunday morning across South Texas.
- Coastal Flooding Advisory in effect through 7 PM CDT this evening.
- HIGH Rip Current Risk in effect through Sunday evening.
A deep positively tilted upper-level trough will continue progressing eastward, accompanied by a closed 500 mb low currently located over the Desert Southwest. This low is expected to track across the Texas Panhandle during the short-term period. Embedded shortwaves ejecting off the closed low, in combination with an approaching cold front, will enhance low-level convergence across the western portions of our forecast area this evening into Sunday morning. PWATs are forecast to increase to between 1.6-1.8 inches, supporting the potential for isolated showers/thunderstorms to develop across the north and western Brush Country starting this evening. Overall confidence in precipitation this evening and early overnight remains low (20-30%), as most of the activity is anticipated to stay north of our area where the environment is more favorable. However, this evolving pattern signals a broader uptick in rain chances across portions of South Texas through the day on Sunday.
By early Sunday morning, the aforementioned slow moving cold front will begin pushing into the Rio Grande Plains, increasing PoPs to more moderate (30-50%) levels. By the afternoon hours, the inland moving sea-breeze will interact with the advancing cold front.
This boundary interaction will serve as a focus for more widespread shower/thunderstorm development during the afternoon and evening. Where the heaviest storms occur, expect totals of no more than a few tenths of an inch. Low to moderate chances for showers/thunderstorms (20-50%) will persist into Sunday night.
Switching gears a bit, increasing southeasterly swell (5-8 feet)
and periods (7-8 seconds) thanks to persistent onshore flow will lead to a high rip current risk through Sunday. With respect to coastal flooding, this morning's swell transfered more energy going into high tide, allowing the water level to rise to advisory thresholds. This constituted the issuance of a Coastal Flood Advisory through 7 PM this evening.
LONG TERM
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 132 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025
Key Message:
- Daily low to medium rain chances through at least mid-week.
The weak front that moves to the Coastal Bend on Sunday stalls over the Coastal Bend through at least Tuesday. There seems to be a weak sfc trough that remains, but the main focus the rest of the week turns to the west, as the 500 mb trough ejects shortwaves over Mexico, and into South Texas. With the anomalously high PWAT values (1.5-1.7") there will be low to medium (30-60%) chances for showers and thunderstorms into Thursday. Friday and Saturday, the chances are very low (10-20%) for showers and thunderstorms as the 500 mb ridge builds back over Texas again.
Temperatures are continuing to grand from the lower to mid 80s along the Coastal Bend to the lower to mid 90s in the Rio Grande Plains.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1224 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025
A mix of MVFR/VFR CIGs will prevail across South Texas through around midnight or so before primary MVFR CIGs redevelop.
Southeasterly winds of 15-25 knots gusting up to 35 knots can be expected through the evening hours before decreasing to speeds of generally 10 knots by overnight. During this TAF period, guidance suggests shower and/or thunderstorm development along a frontal boundary as it moves through the region, beginning in our western terminals just around sunrise and progressing eastward to the remaining terminals throughout the day Sunday. Therefore have introduced northerly winds behind the front at KLRD and KCOT at this time. Have also included PROB30 groups for low confidence in -RA for all sites.
MARINE
Issued at 132 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025
Moderate to fresh onshore flow (BF 4-5) will keep wave heights between 5 to 7 feet and choppy over the bays through this evening into the overnight hours. By Sunday, onshore flow weakens to a moderate breeze (BF 4), decreasing to light to gentle (BF 2-3) by Sunday night. On Monday, onshore winds are a light to gentle breeze (BF 2-3), but increase to a Moderate to Fresh Breeze (BF 4-5) by Tuesday afternoon and evening and maintaining that through the weekend. Low to medium rain chances (20-50%) are expected daily through Thursday before diminishing into the weekend.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 132 PM CDT Sat Apr 19 2025
With a frontal passage anticipated on Sunday, surface moisture gets pushed to the southeast with a drier airmass moving in from the west throughout the day. Minimum RH's drop to as low as 15-30% across the Rio Grande Plains by Sunday afternoon.
Additionally, 20 foot winds will be under 20 mph, so this will limit the fire risk to slightly elevated conditions for the region. Moisture will start to increase across South Texas, with low to medium (20-60%) rain and thunderstorm chances returning to the forecast daily beginning Sunday and continuing through mid- week. Drier conditions will develop late week, with rain chances diminishing to less than 20% by Friday. However, minimum RH values will remain above thresholds with no elevated or critical fire weather concerns expected at this time.
