DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1012 PM CDT TUE MAY 12 2026
RAIN-FREE WEATHER CONDITIONS ALONG WITH WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPS CAN
BE EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL,
FRONTAL BOUNDARIES WELL TO OUR NORTH, AND A 588-591 DAM HEAT RIDGE
IN PLACE OVER DEEP SOUTH TEXAS. WE'LL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR
NEXT WEEK AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE WEATHER PATTERN TO BECOME A BIT
MORE UNSETTLED.
MULTIPLE FORECAST AND AI/ML MODELS/ENSEMBLES ARE SUGGESTING AN
INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NEXT WEEK IN ASSOCIATION WITH
AN APPROACHING OR NEARBY FRONTAL SYSTEM. WE CONTINUE TO HAVE LOW-
MEDIUM (20-40%) CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MONDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY TIMEFRAME. AGAIN, WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE
TRENDS ON THE CHANCE FOR THE PATTERN BECOMING A BIT MORE UNSETTLED
NEXT WEEK. THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER (CPC) CONTINUES TO HAVE
MUCH OF TEXAS INCLUDING ALL OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS UNDER A MEDIUM
(50- 60%) CHANCE FOR A WETTER THAN NORMAL PATTERN IN IT'S 6-10 DAY
OUTLOOK WHICH COVERS MAY 18-22.
AS MENTIONED EARLIER, TEMPERATURES WILL RUN WARMER THAN NORMAL
THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY RANGE
BETWEEN THE UPPER 80S TO MID 90S ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS. THERE
COULD BE A FEW UPPER 90S ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN SECTIONS OF OUR CWA
(I.E. ZAPATA AND STARR COUNTIES). OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE
IN THE 60S AND 70S TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE CLIMBING
INTO THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY
NIGHT.

MARINE
ISSUED AT 1012 PM CDT TUE MAY 12 2026
GENERALLY FAVORABLE MARINE CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THURSDAY
WITH LOW TO MODERATE WINDS AND SEAS. HOWEVER, MORE ADVERSE (I.E.
SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION) CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP FRIDAY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE EARLY PARTS OF NEXT WEEK. A BRIEF
PERIOD OF HIGH END SCEC TO LOW END SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS
IS POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT, IN RESPONSE TO BREEZY/WINDY CONDITIONS
