New AVIATION

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Sunday Night)
Issued at 327 PM CST Sat Dec 2 2023

For all but the northernmost reaches of the area, dreary conditions drag on today in Southeast Texas. Drier air is making its way in, and gradually the rest of the area will join locations like Caldwell, College Station, Madisonville, and Crockett with a clearer sky and more crisp air. Folks in Brenham, Navasota, and Huntsville don't have too much longer to wait. The Houston metro should get to join by this evening
Those down at the coast
the news isn't quite as good as low clouds and Gulf fog look to hang on until late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

As a result, lows tonight will have a pretty obvious northwest to southeast gradient, with those that are already clearing out looking to fall to around 40 degrees tonight, while coastal areas get stuck just above 50 degrees. It ultimately shouldn't be a big influence on highs tomorrow though, as everyone looks to make their way up into the upper 60s and lower 70s underneath persistent high clouds. Tomorrow night looks to be a drier repeat of what's expected tonight.

LONG TERM
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 327 PM CST Sat Dec 2 2023

Quiet weather will continue through the majority of the long-term period as surface high pressure remains parked over the area. A warming trend will occur this week. Daytime high temperatures will start out in the 60s, area wide, with more widespread temperatures in the 70s by the middle of the week. Nighttime temperatures will generally be in the 40s to 50s. West to northwesterly flow aloft will keep conditions on the drier side through much of the week before another system sets up over the western CONUS. Kept the mention of rain in the forecast late Friday night, with rain chances continuing (and increasing) Saturday into Sunday.

AVIATION
(00Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 547 PM CST Sat Dec 2 2023

The back edge of the MVFR ceilings has been slowly moving toward the coast today (emphasis on slow). But we are finally starting see some improvement at our Houston terminals. Did tweak the timing for sites further south by an hour or so. Otherwise, did not make any signifi- cant changes to the rest of the package from previous. Patchy fog as well as low clouds (generally MVFR/IFR) could linger along the coast through much of the overnight period. 41

MARINE
Issued at 327 PM CST Sat Dec 2 2023

With drier air slower to filter in to the area, the marine dense fog advisory for the bays and nearshore waters is extended through the night until early tomorrow morning. After a reinforcing front brings in drier air, the fog threat will end, with northwesterly winds becoming southwesterly tomorrow. Expect light to moderate winds, low season, and fair weather to continue through the midweek.
