COLD AIR ADVECTION AND EFFICIENT RADIATIONAL COOLING FROM CLEAR
SKIES WITHIN THE ARCTIC AIR MASS OVER DEEP SOUTH TEXAS BRING
ANOTHER NIGHT OF SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES TONIGHT INTO INLAND AND
COASTAL DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AS A 1035-1040 MB ARCTIC SURFACE HIGH
OVER CENTRAL TEXAS MAINTAINS LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS INTO TUESDAY
MORNING. A FREEZE WARNING AND A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY REMAIN IN
EFFECT FOR ALL INLAND AND COASTAL AREAS OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS, NOT
INCLUDING THE BARRIER ISLANDS. OVERNIGHT MINIMUM TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO FALL TO THE LOW/MID 20S ACROSS THE NORTHERN
RANCHLANDS AND RIO GRANDE PLAINS, BUT FEEL AS COLD AS 15-25
DEGREES F, WHILE TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY BOTTOM
OUT IN THE MID/UPPER 20S WITH "REAL FEEL"/APPARENT TEMPERATURES IN
THE LOW/MID 20S. MEANWHILE, TEMPERATURES ALONG THE LOWER TEXAS
COAST REACH THE MID 40S WITH APPARENT TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER
30S/LOW 40S. AS WAS THE CASE LAST NIGHT, MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
TONIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING COULD MEET OR BREAK RECORD LOW
TEMPERATURES. PLEASE VISIT WWW.WEATHER.GOV/SAFETY/COLD FOR
RECOMMENDATIONS TO KEEP YOURSELF AND OTHERS PROTECTED FROM THE
COLD.
WEATHER PATTERN WISE, ZONAL OR NORTHWESTERLY FLOW CONTINUE ALOFT
THROUGH THIS WEEK AND INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. TUESDAY
STARTS OFF WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND NORTHERLY SURFACE WINDS,
SHIFTING TO EASTERLY/SOUTHEASTERLY THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING HOURS AS THE HIGH PRESSURE, MENTIONED ABOVE, MOVES
TO THE GULF COAST OF THE DEEP SOUTH AHEAD OF A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
MOVING INTO TEXAS TUESDAY NIGHT. AS THE TROUGH PASSES TO THE
NORTH OF THE CWA, WINDS SHIFT BACK TO NORTHERLY INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING AS A SURFACE HIGH REGAINS CONTROL OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS. CLOUDS CLEAR THROUGHOUT THE DAY WEDNESDAY AND WINDS VEER
BACK TO EASTERLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS THE HIGH MOVES
INTO THE NORTHERN GULF. ANOTHER MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE ARRIVES OVER
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY, DEVELOPING A
SURFACE LOW AND ATTENDANT COLD FRONT OVER NORTHERN TEXAS. MOISTURE
POOLING AHEAD OF THE FRONT BUILDS CLOUDS ACROSS OUR REGION ON
THURSDAY AND INCREASES CHANCES OF RAIN ALONG/NEAR THE COAST
THURSDAY EVENING TO AS MUCH AS A LOW (15-30%) CHANCE THURSDAY
NIGHT. THE COLD FRONT MAY PASS THROUGH DEEP SOUTH TEXAS LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT OR FRIDAY MORNING, SHIFTING WINDS OUT OF THE
NORTH. RIDGING ALOFT RESUMES FRIDAY, DIMINISHING RAIN CHANCES
THROUGHOUT FRIDAY.
AS FOR TEMPERATURES, ANOTHER VERY CHILLY NIGHT IS EXPECTED
TUESDAY NIGHT AS OVERNIGHT LOWS FALL TO THE MID/UPPER 30S ACROSS
THE NORTHERN RANCHLANDS AND RIO GRANDE PLAINS WHILE UPPER 30S/40S
ARE ANTICIPATED ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY ALONG WITH 50S AT THE
BEACHES. AS SUCH, NEITHER A FREEZE WARNING NOR A COLD WEATHER
ADVISORY ARE EXPECTED. THE LREF AND NBM SUGGEST, AT MOST, A 15%
AND 30% CHANCE, RESPECTIVELY, FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN
RANCHLANDS FALLING BELOW 32 DEGREES. SO, A FEW SPOTS MAY BRIEFLY
FALL TO OR BELOW FREEZING TO THE NORTH, BUT NOT EXPECTED TO BE
WIDESPREAD OR LONG ENOUGH TO ISSUE ANY COLD WEATHER PRODUCTS.
OTHERWISE, TEMPERATURES MODERATE TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY WITH HIGHS
REACHING INTO THE 50S/60S ON TUESDAY, 60S ON WEDNESDAY AND MAINLY
70S ON THURSDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS FALL TO THE 40S WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHTS. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT, TEMPERATURES DROP OVER
THE WEEKEND WITH SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE AGAIN FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES COULD WARM AGAIN IN THE EARLY
PART OF NEXT WEEK AS SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS RETURN.
DUE TO LIGHTER WINDS OVER THE GULF, CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO IMPROVE
ALONG THE COAST, ALTHOUGH A MEDIUM RISK OF RIP CURRENTS CONTINUES
THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
