Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Oyster Creek, TX

LONG TERM
(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 1212 AM CDT Mon Apr 21 2025

Wednesday will be the best chances for showers/storms during the work week as an embedded shortwave trough pushes through the area.
Persistent onshore flow will help keep PW values near or above the 90th percentile (~1.59"), so there'll be plenty of moisture for the PVA to lift. As we have seen recently, with this amount of moisture in place, we could see some locally heavy downpours at times in any of the stronger showers/storms. The synoptic flow remains westerly to southwesterly through the end of the work week, which keeps us in line for additional passing shortwave impulses. As a result, you can expect rain chances to stick around...especially for areas north of I-10. Another shortwave trough looks to pass near the area on late Thursday into Friday. Going into the weekend, there are some hints that ridging aloft may begin to build in which would decrease our chances for rainfall.

Temperatures for most of the work week will be in the low to mid 80s for high temperatures and upper 60s to low 70s for low temperatures.
Going into the weekend is when we'll begin to approach the upper 80s once again as ridging aloft builds in. Based on some of the ensemble guidance and long-range NBM guidance, the warming trend doesn't stop there...

(12Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 630 AM CDT Mon Apr 21 2025

Showers and thunderstorms will be possible at IAH southwards today bringing gusty winds and heavy rainfall. These storms are being triggered along a boundary that will be slowly moving towards the coast. The showers and storms will likely be predominately south of I-10 by 16z, and then continue through sunset. Generally VFR conditions will prevail through this afternoon, with the exception of low clouds near at thunderstorms. Low level moisture and light winds tonight will lead to CIGs around 1500-2500ft and patchy fog which will continue through Tuesday morning. Additional scattered showers and storms will be possible Tuesday and Wednesday.

MARINE
Issued at 1212 AM CDT Mon Apr 21 2025

Winds and seas will be on a downward trend overnight, but seas remain elevated enough for advisories/caution flags to be needed into Monday morning. Generally, light to occasionally moderate southeast winds will persist throughout the work week. The rip current risk still looks to remain elevated this week. After midweek, seas will briefly increase and may approach caution flag territory. Chances for showers and thunderstorms persist throughout most of the week as Gulf moisture interacts with various upper level disturbances.
