SHORT TERM
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 328 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Some areas had wetting rains on Wednesday. As a result, patchy fog is possible early this morning due to wet soils. Cold temperatures will allow fog to also develop along some river valleys. Any fog will burn off a little after sunrise.
Upper level ridging drifts overhead as surface low pressure deepens in the Plains. Southerly lower level flow returns today and increases tonight into Friday as pressures continue to fall leading to breezy to locally windy conditions. After a chilly morning, temperatures trend above normal. A moistening trend begins leading to patchy low clouds and fog overnight into Friday morning.
Otherwise, just some high clouds are expected. Meanwhile, elevated fire weather conditions continue out west for one last day. See the Fire Weather Section below.
LONG TERM
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 328 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
The first half of the long term period will be dominated by zonal flow aloft and southeasterly flow in the low levels through the weekend. This will mean dry weather with warming temperatures.
Temperatures will increase a few degrees each day reaching their peak Monday when both lows and highs will be well above normal. Highs Monday may approach records over the western half of the CWA where they will range from the upper 80s to near 100. A pattern change will begin during the day Monday as an upper level trough moves through the southwestern states and brings southwesterly flow over TX. At the surface a cold front will move through west TX reaching our western border by the afternoon. The front will move through our CWA Monday night and bring low chances for showers and thunderstorms to much of the area Monday night. Models show no rain chances for the Rio Grande and southern portion of the CWA Breezy northerly winds will move in behind the front Tuesday bringing cooler, drier air. Highs Tuesday will be around ten degrees lower than Monday and will drop another five degrees Wednesday.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1209 PM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
VFR conditions are prevailing across South-Central Texas early this afternoon with mostly clear skies. Should see some passing high clouds at times, but otherwise no impacts in ceiling or visibility are expected. There is a small chance for some morning stratus or fog for the San Antonio sites, but overall probabilities were too low to mention. Southerly flow will prevail with breezy flow at times, mainly in the afternoon periods.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 328 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Minimum humidities in the teens to lower 20s continue in Val Verde County and portions of Edwards, and Kinney counties this afternoon.
Winds will be lower (10 to 15 mph) at time lowest humidity compared to last couple of days with the strongest winds across Val Verde County. Much of Kinney county and very small portions of Val Verde and Edwards counties had wetting rains on Wednesday. Forecast fire danger and fuel moistures (dryness, 10 and 100 hour fuels) focus the threat on Val Verde County. Taking all this into account, will hold off on issuance of a Rangeland Fire Danger Statement. However, later forecasts could issue one for Val Verde County should conditions warrant.
