New AVIATION
SHORT TERM
(Today through Saturday Night)
Issued at 254 AM CDT Fri Mar 29 2024
Another dry and warm day is expected today with near to slightly above normal temperatures. Mid to upper ridge continues to dominate the pattern aloft while at the surface, a high pressure continues to migrate eastward. Return flow from the departing high will continue to bring a warmer airmass and more Gulf moisture into the region today and Saturday. The main feature today will be breezy conditions. A sfc low over the central/southern Plains will result in a tight pressure gradient. Tight sfc gradient combined with a strengthening low-level jet will lead to gusty conditions through tonight.
A quasi-zonal flow aloft will bring multiple disturbances/vort maxes into the region by Saturday. Despite a gradual increase in low-level moisture, the mid level still remain dry. Therefore, expect increasing cloud cover than rain. Persistent south to southeast winds, mostly cloudy skies will lead to warmer conditions through the weekend. Highs will climb into the upper 70s to low 80s on Saturday. Overnight lows mainly in the 60s.

LONG TERM
(Sunday through Thursday)
Issued at 254 AM CDT Fri Mar 29 2024
Sunday will see upper level ridging spanning across the Plains/Mississippi River Valley. Southwesterly flow at 850mb and onshore flow at the surface should bring warm conditions during the day on Sunday, with afternoon highs reaching the mid 70s/80s. Rising moisture will put PWs slightly above 1.0 inch, through robust subsidence should largely suppress rain chances for the end of the week. Overnight lows will be in the mid 60s/lower 70s.
Conditions will also be slightly breezy on Sunday, as the pressure gradient tightens in response to a surface low over the Central Plains. This low should deepen on Monday as it's associated upper level trough sweeps across the Four Corners/Desert Southwest. The tightening pressure gradient should create a 40-50 knot LLJ over SE Texas, further amplifying WAA and allowing highs to rise into the upper 70s/upper 80s. The environment still looks to be capped on Monday, so rain chances will still be limited. The aforementioned upper level system will eventually drape a cold front across SE Texas late Monday night/Tuesday afternoon. Forcing from this FROPA could be enough to produce scattered showers/isolated storms with it's passage. Slightly cooler, drier and breezy conditions should develop in the wake of the cold front, with lows for Wednesday morning dropping into the 40s/50s.
Surface high pressure passes overhead late Wednesday, allowing for onshore flow to return by Thursday. This will once again usher in a warming trend, with rising temperatures & moisture expected into the weekend.

AVIATION
(12Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 621 AM CDT Fri Mar 29 2024
The main aviation concern will be winds. Gusty south to southeast winds are expected across the region today and will persist through early evening. FEW to SCT high clouds will prevail through most of the period, becoming BKN/OVC by early Saturday. VFR conditions are expected through the period.

MARINE
Issued at 254 AM CDT Fri Mar 29 2024
Onshore winds of 10 to 20 knots and seas of 3 to 5 feet can be expected over the next several days. This may warrant caution flags at times as these elevated winds and seas persist through the end of the week. Winds and seas increase on Monday ahead of the next weather system. A cold front associated with this system should push off the coast on Tuesday. Small Craft Advisories could be needed Tuesday night through Wednesday morning for higher winds and seas brought by the frontal passage.
