Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Beach City, TX

LONG TERM
(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 1218 AM CDT Thu May 22 2025

Quiet weather will prevail through the weekend with a surface high becoming stationed to the east of SE Texas. This will continue the onshore flow pattern. An upper-level ridge will move overhead; however, it does not appear to be as amplified as what previous ridges have been. Late on Sunday a shortwave trough will move through and bring the potential for isolated showers and thunderstorms. Similar to the ridge this trough is not very amplified and will likely not amount to much on its own; however, it will set the stage for unsettled weather going into the work week.

Multiple low-amplitude shortwave troughs will move through the area during the week. Tuesday in particular features a medium chance of measurable rainfall across most of the area. This is due in part to a weak front that is expected to pass through the region and trigger convection as it does so. Ensembles continue to show PW values in the 90th percentile for Tuesday...will need to monitor over the next few days to see how this forecast evolves as far as the potential for a heavy rain event over the Piney Woods region.

Otherwise, for the week expect seasonable temperatures with highs in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees. Afternoon cloud cover and several opportunities for scattered showers and thunderstorms may make temperatures locally cooler, but overall expect it to remain typical to spring/summer.

Issued at 539 AM CDT Thu May 22 2025

MVFR conditions with CIGs around 1200-2500ft will continue through mid-morning hours before scattering out giving way to VFR conditions for the rest of the day. Southeasterly winds around 6-10kt will prevail today before becoming light and variable tonight. Some isolated showers are possible this afternoon south of I-10, but confidence is not high enough on exactly where they will pop-up to put into any TAFs. Some periods of MVFR conditions with CIGs around 1500ft and patchy fog will be possible late tonight into early Friday morning, but overall VFR conditions are expected to persist through the night.

Generally moderate onshore winds and seas of 4 to 6 feet are expected during the next few days. Caution flags will prevail through at least early Tuesday. Winds may reach 20 knots at times and seas may briefly rise to 7 feet over the offshore waters Monday into Tuesday and may required an Advisory. Winds relax Tuesday and become easterly late Tuesday night into Wednesday as a weak cold front moves into SE TX and stalls. Onshore winds return late Wednesday as the front moves northeastward as a warm front. Light to occasionally moderate onshore winds are expected to persist into the upcoming weekend. Persistent onshore winds may lead to strong rip currents along the Gulf facing beaches throughout the week and weekend.
