SHORT TERM
(This evening through Wednesday Night)
Issued at 233 PM CDT Tue Apr 22 2025
Showers have begun to move inland from the Gulf this afternoon, tapping into the moisture provided by southwesterly flow aloft and onshore flow at the surface. With CAPE around 2000 J/kg and vorticity maximums passing overhead, may see some storms fire up alongside these showers as the afternoon progresses.
While storms are not projected to be as strong as what was observed yesterday, as the previous forecaster mentioned it is the time of year when SE TX routinely has favorable dynamics for some storms to go rogue and become stronger in nature. Shear values aren't all that impressive (20-35 kt range) and with the vorticity maximums not all that
well
maximum...not expecting to see anything wildly strong or severe. Mostly expect that if any did approach the stronger end of a typical thunderstorm it would likely produce a decent amount of rain (thank you 90th percentile PWATs) and isolated stronger gusts of wind.
Also mentioned by the previous forecaster was the potential for an MCS early Wednesday morning. 12Z HRRR continues to hold onto this idea of an MCS tracking across the state and making it into SE Texas around sunrise on Wednesday. The complexity lies in that it is the only Hi-Res model that has been consistent with this possibility...all other Hi-Res models have shown the MCS fizzling out well before it reaches SE Texas. Have opted to lean more towards the HRRR since it is *usually* better at handling convective systems. In any case, not expecting anything severe to occur with this system. It could produce some gusty winds as it rolls through, and it certainly has the potential to drop around 0.25"-1.0" of rain (potentially isolated higher amounts in the stronger parts of the system).
Temperatures for tonight and tomorrow night will be pretty similar with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Highs for Wednesday will be in the low 80s inland and in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees along the coast.
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.

VFR conditions through the afternoon. MVFR/IFR returning overnight into Wednesday morning. Showers and thunderstorms expected to move inland this afternoon and may impact coastal/southern terminals.
More showers and thunderstorms are anticipated for Wednesday as a MCS approaches the area. Confidence is low on whether or not the MCS will make it to SE TX.
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.
