Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for New Territory, TX

DISCUSSION
Issued at 1232 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025

Mid level ridge generally centered over Baja will gradually expand/move eastward into the Southern Plains later in the week, Tennessee Valley this weekend, then into northeast US early next week. Locally, we'll be situated under the ridge this week which should still allow for for some isolated/scattered, mainly daytime, shower and thunderstorm activity. Other than the seabreeze/baybreeze there aren't really any large scale focusing mechanisms for organized convection. Heading into the early/mid parts of next week with the ridge set up well to our east, we could see a longer deeper fetch of higher Gulf PWs set up and possibly lead to slightly higher coverage and/or rain chances. 47

AVIATION
(12Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 608 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025

MVFR CIGs should clear out over the next few hours with gusty southerly winds and VFR conditions prevailing throughout the daytime. Very light streamer showers will be possible near the coast early today. During the afternoon, a few thunderstorms could develop around the houston metro area. Short range models have backed off on storms for today, and while PoPs have trended downwards, a few stray thunderstorms aren't completely out of the question still. Any convection should taper off by the late afternoon/evening. Winds relax overnight as MVFR CIGs once again fill in across our northern 3 TAF sites (KCLL, KUTS, KCXO).

MARINE
Issued at 1232 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025

Moderate onshore flow prevails today with seas in the 3-5ft range.
Will check-in with the beach patrol in the morning, but wouldn't be surprised if we need to go with a high rip current statement during the day Thursday. The pressure gradient slightly weakens Friday into the weekend and would anticipate typical summertime marine conditions with 10-15kt sse winds 3-4ft seas. There will be some isolated-scattered storms around at times, but better chances probably early to mid next week. 47
