Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for West University Place, TX

LONG TERM
(Thursday through next Monday)
Issued at 233 PM CDT Tue Apr 22 2025

We continue our slow march towards summer weather through the weekend and into the beginning of next week, which will be characterized by chances for scattered storms and gradually warming temperatures that will approach the 90 degree-mark. The overall pattern will remain relatively unchanged for both Thursday and Friday, with global models indicating a persistent onshore surface flow regime while a series embedded shortwaves traverse a quasi-zonal flow in the midlevels. This should be sufficient to trigger the development of scattered thunderstorms on both Thursday and Friday, with the risk for storms generally increasing as you head north away from the coastline. Severe weather is generally not expected, however an isolated storm or two could have the potential to become on the stronger side. Temperatures should reach the upper 80s for many inland areas during the afternoon hours, and remain right around 70 overnight. Highs along the coast will remain in the mid 80s.

Rain chances fade heading into the weekend as a midlevel ridge builds into the area. The presence of high pressure over the Central Gulf will allow the onshore flow pattern to persist, with rain chances dropping to near zero through the weekend and into the early part of next week. Afternoon highs may reach as high as the low 90s across portions of the area, with surface dew points in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Heat index values could have the potential to reach as high as 95.

MARINE
Issued at 233 PM CDT Tue Apr 22 2025

Light to occasionally moderate onshore flow will persist through at least Wednesday. A long southeasterly fetch of 15 to 25 knots will develop across the Gulf; resulting in moderate winds and seas up to 6 ft towards the end of the week. Rain and storm chances are expected on Wednesday as a disturbance moves through. Rain chances will gradually decrease into the weekend, with only a few daily showers nearshore and around the Bays.
