DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1235 AM CDT SUN OCT 5 2025
DAILY LOW (20-40%) SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THIS WORK WEEK, WITH OVERALL MOISTURE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
INTERACTING WITH A WEAK COASTAL TROUGH TODAY AND MONDAY, THEN MAINLY
DRIVEN BY SURFACE HEATING AND THE AFTERNOON SEABREEZE THEREAFTER.
THERE IS MODEL DISAGREEMENT IN THE MID-LEVEL FLOW LATE IN THE WEEK,
REGARDING THE POSITION OF A STRONG MID-LEVEL RIDGE EITHER OVER THE
SW CONUS (GFS) OR SOUTHERN CONUS (ECMWF/CMC) AND THE PROGRESSION OF
A MID-LEVEL LOW/TROUGH ACROSS THE MIDWEST. ALL-IN-ALL, THESE
DIFFERENT SCENARIOS STILL WARRANT LOW RAIN CHANCES AND NO NOTABLE
WEATHER IMPACTFUL DIFFERENCES. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RUN
ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S AND LOWS FROM THE
UPPER 60S TO MID 70S.
WE'RE GOING TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD PLAYER THROUGHOUT THE
WEEK, HIGHLIGHTING OUR MAIN CONCERNS BEING FOCUSED ON HAZARDOUS
BEACH CONDITIONS. WE'RE HEADING INTO THE SEASON FOR POTENTIAL 'KING
TIDES' WITH WELL ABOVE NORMAL TIDE LEVELS CAUSED BY THE FULL MOON
BEING POSITIONED CLOSER TO THE EARTH (PERIGEE), INCREASING THE
GRAVITATIONAL PULL AND THEREFORE LEADING TO GREATER TIDE LEVELS. IN
ADDITION, SWELL PERIODS REMAIN AROUND 7-9 SECONDS WITH SWELL HEIGHTS
AROUND 3 FEET, AND EITHER NORTHEASTERLY FLOW INDUCING THE EKMAN
TRANSPORT MECHANISM OR ONSHORE FLOW. ALL THESE FACTORS INCREASES THE
RISK FOR WATER LEVELS NEARING OR REACHING THE DUNES, ESPECIALLY
DURING HIGH TIDES, AND THEREFORE PROLONGING THE NEED FOR A COASTAL
FLOOD ADVISORY THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK. P-ETSS GUIDANCE SHOWS TIDE
LEVELS NEARING 2.5 FT MSL AT ARANSAS PASS THROUGH THE DAY TODAY,
THEN AROUND 2.0 FT MSL DURING HIGH TIDE THROUGH THE WEEK. THERE WILL
ALSO BE AN INCREASED RISK OF RIP CURRENTS. ALL BEACHGOERS ARE URGED
TO USE CAUTION, BEACH ROADS MAY BE INUNDATED, CARS CAN GET STUCK,
AND RIP CURRENTS CAN TAKE AWAY THE STRONGEST SWIMMERS.
