SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 342 AM CDT SUN APR 27 2025
DEEP SOUTH TEXAS WILL REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE
AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT. THIS WILL PRODUCE VERY WARM AND DRY
WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY AND
MONDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE 80S NEAR THE COAST TO THE LOW TO MID
90S ALONG AND WEST OF THE I-69E CORRIDOR. LOWS TONIGHT WILL FALL
INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S WITH INCREASING CLOUDS. A MODEST TO
SLIGHTLY ENHANCED PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL SUPPORT BREEZY SOUTHEAST
WINDS, ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST, TODAY AND MONDAY. ELEVATED SEAS
ALONG THE LOWER TEXAS COAST WILL PRODUCE A MODERATE RISK OF RIP
CURRENTS AT THE LOCAL BEACHES.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 342 AM CDT SUN APR 27 2025
DRY WEATHER WILL DOMINATE THE FIRST HALF OF THE LONG TERM FORECAST
PERIOD, AS THE CENTER OF 500 MB HIGH PRESSURE NEARLY DIRECTLY OVER
DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY GRADUALLY EASES TOWARDS
THE EAST. A PATTERN SHIFT WILL THEN OCCUR LATER IN THE WEEK, WITH
A SERIES OF MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVES RIDING WITHIN A WEST-SOUTHWEST TO
EAST-NORTHEAST FLOW. THIS WILL PRODUCE A RISK FOR ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DAILY BEGINNING ON THURSDAY.
TEMPERATURE-WISE, ABOVE NORMAL DAYTIME HIGHS AND OVERNIGHT LOWS
ARE ALSO ANTICIPATED, AIDED BY A BREEZY TO WINDY ONSHORE FLOW. IN
FACT, WINDS MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH ON TUESDAY TO WARRANT A WIND
ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY AT THAT TIME.
