SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 309 AM CDT MON APR 28 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 TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY
AND TUESDAY 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 THROUGH TUESDAY. ELEVATED
SEAS ALONG THE LOWER TEXAS COAST WILL PRODUCE A MODERATE RISK OF
RIP CURRENTS AT THE LOCAL BEACHES.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 309 AM CDT MON APR 28 2025
DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL AT THE ONSET OF THE LONG TERM FORECAST
PERIOD, WITH DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY ON THE
NORTHWEST PERIPHERY OF 500 MB HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE
SOUTHERN GULF OF AMERICA. A PATTERN SHIFT WILL THEN OCCUR AS THE
WEEK DRAWS TO A CLOSE, WITH A SERIES OF MID-LEVEL DISTURBANCES
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, WITH THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR RAIN
PROGGED FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. TEMPERATURE-WISE, NEAR TO 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 WEDNESDAY TO WARRANT A WIND ADVISORY FOR
PORTIONS OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AT THAT
TIME.

MIST AND LOWERING OF CEILINGS AROUND SUNRISE, BUT CONFIDENCE
REMAINS LOW (20 PERCENT) DUE TO GUSTY WINDS. LIGHT TO MODERATE

NEARSHORE GULF WATERS TODAY. EXERCISE CAUTION CONDITIONS WILL
DEVELOP ON ALL WATERS TONIGHT AND CONTINUE ON TUESDAY. A BRIEF
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CANNOT BE ENTIRELY RULED OUT DUE TO SLIGHTLY
STRONGER WINDS.

AN ENHANCED PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL PRODUCE SMALL CRAFT SHOULD
EXERCISE CAUTION TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ALONG THE
LOWER TEXAS COAST FROM TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THE APPROACH
OF A WEAK COLD FRONT FROM THE NORTH WILL WEAKEN THE GRADIENT FOR
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, ALLOWING FOR LIGHTER WINDS AND LOWER SEAS.
