SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 227 PM CST TUE NOV 19 2024
A SECONDARY FRONT WILL BRING A REINFORCEMENT OF COLDER AND DRIER AIR
AS IT MOVES THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. LOWS TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL BE IN THE UPPER 40S TO NEAR 50 DEGREES ACROSS
THE BRAZOS VALLEY AND PINEY WOODS. ELSEWHERE, LOWS WILL BE IN THE
LOW TO MID 50S. PERSISTENT NORTHWESTERLY WINDS, GUSTY AT TIMES, WILL
CONTINUE TO DRAW COLDER AIR IN FOR WEDNESDAY, AND WILL KEEP HIGHS
ACROSS THE AREA IN THE 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREES (HIGHEST TEMPERATURES
IN THE SOUTHERNMOST COUNTIES).
LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING WILL BE EVEN COLDER WITH
LOWS ACROSS THE BRAZOS VALLEY AND PINEY WOODS DROPPING INTO THE MID
TO UPPER 30S. CLOSER TO THE METRO EXPECT LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 40S
AND IN THE LOW 50S ALONG THE COAST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER SE
TEXAS ON THURSDAY, LEADING TO LIGHT WINDS AND GENERALLY SUNNY SKIES.
ADDITIONALLY, WINDS WILL LOSE THEIR NORTHERLY COMPONENT FOR MUCH OF
THE AREA WHICH WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO RECOVER, SLIGHTLY, INTO
THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S. ADAMS

DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED WELL INTO THE WEEKEND. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BE SETTLING SOUTHWARD INTO THE REGION THURSDAY
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER WEAK REINFORCING HIGH PRESSURE AREA SAGGING
INTO THE AREA FRIDAY. THE COMBINATION OF MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES, LOW
DEWPOINTS AND FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS WILL FAVOR ABOUT A 30F TEMPERATURE
SPREAD EACH DAY (40S/70S) IN SATURDAY. SOUTHEAST/SOUTH WINDS WILL
RESUME THIS WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF TO THE EAST AND
LEE SIDE PRESSURES FALL. AS THIS TAKES PLACE, LOOK FOR A GRADUAL
WARMING TREND TO ENSUE ALONG WITH A BIT MORE CLOUD COVER AS WE
HEAD INTO SUNDAY AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. 47
