a tightening pressure gradient between high pressure to our east and lower pressure to our west will lead to moderate onshore winds, building seas and above normal tides through midweek. Chances for showers and storms return near the middle of the week as the next weather system approaches the region.

New LONG TERM, AVIATION, MARINE
SHORT TERM
(This evening through Tuesday Night)
Issued at 315 PM CDT Mon Apr 28 2025
We remain within a fairly benign pattern over the next 36 hours or so, with continued warm and humid conditions accompanied by fairly widespread cloud cover expected to prevail in the immediate term.
High temperatures thus far this afternoon have risen into the lower 80s as of 330 PM CDT, perhaps running a few degrees lower than expected due to a slight overperformance of cloud cover.
Breezy conditions also have developed this afternoon, with wind gusts approaching 25 mph area-wide. Winds should relax with the loss of diurnal heating this evening, accompanied by an expansion of low stratus that will work to inhibit radiative cooling. Low temperatures should follow that of the past few days, with most locations around 70 (75 at the immediate coast). Some overnight fog development is possible, but winds should remain high enough to mitigate any widespread and/or dense fog. Still, typically prone areas could see some reduced visibility around sunrise.
It's effectively a persistence forecast tomorrow ahead of our next potentially active period on Wednesday with highs expected to reach the low 80s at the coast and the mid 80s further inland. The prevailing midlevel ridge will begin to break down heading into Tuesday night, but the arrival of a fairly robust shortwave isn't expected until Wednesday (more on that below). Another night of lows in the lower 70s is on the cards yet again.

LONG TERM
(Thursday through next Monday)
Issued at 1152 PM CDT Mon Apr 28 2025
With mid-upper trof making further eastward progress away from the area, the upper pattern will transition to a more quasi-zonal flow - but still allowing for scattered diurnally driven precip Thursday. Shower/tstm chances increase Friday and Friday night as a weak, slow moving frontal boundary moves closer and eventually into SE TX and serve as a focusing mechanism for precip. This boundary should make it close to the coast by Saturday morning then eventually put on the brakes as it loses support (unless mesoscale driven) for a further southward push. Slightly cooler/drier airmass is anticipated for a short while north of the front, but with pooling deeper moisture to its south returning back inland, southern and swrn parts of the CWA can probably expect some continued rain chances on Sat. As the next upper trof taking shape to our west, a building ridge should suppress, but not completely eliminate, chances of shra/tstms somewhat Sunday & Monday. 47
AVIATION
(06Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 1152 PM CDT Mon Apr 28 2025
A mix of MVFR/VFR ceilings out there at the moment with a combo of llvl moisture in addition to some debris clouds from earlier precip west of the region. Think the MVFR conditions will generally become more prevalent overnight, moreso north of a Matagorda- Liberty line. Ceilings will then lift as we head into the mid-late morning hours Tuesday and back to VFR. Primary aviation issue from mid morning thru mid evening will be gusty sse winds in the 15-27kt range. 47
MARINE
Issued at 1152 PM CDT Mon Apr 28 2025
A tightening pressure gradient between high pressure to the east and lower pressure to the west will maintain moderate onshore winds and somewhat elevated seas. Have issued a small craft advsy for current winds being observed in Galveston Bay and adjacent nearshore waters...and caution flags elsewhere. We'll likely need a continuation of either SCEC/SCA flags for the next couple days as speeds/seas flirt with criteria. Chances for rip currents along area beaches will be on the moderate/high side and water levels will run above normal. The gradient loosens during the second half of the week with gradually subsiding winds/seas...although shower/storm chances gradually rise - especially Fri-Sat as a weak front sags closer toward the coast. 47
