DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1201 AM CDT MON APR 6 2026
PLEASANT WEATHER IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, WITH HIGHS
GENERALLY IN THE 70S AND LOWS IN THE 50S. NORTHERNMOST ZONES ARE
EXPECTED TO DIP INTO THE 40S MONDAY MORNING AND TUESDAY MORNING,
WHILE COASTAL ZONES LIKELY REMAIN ABOVE 60. HIGH PRESSURE OVER E
CONUS WILL BRING THE RETURN OF PERSISTENT, DEEP LL ONSHORE FLOW.
THIS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS BY THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. COULDN'T RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS IN OUR
COASTAL ZONES ON WEDNESDAY.
AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY AND BEYOND, AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES BECOME
WARM (LOW 80S) WITH DEW POINTS IN THE 60S. THE WARM HUMID AIR WILL
BE THANKS TO THE CONTINUED ONSHORE FLOW, WHICH YOU WILL FEEL IN
THE FORM OF A GUSTY SOUTHEASTERLY BREEZE. GLOBAL GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THE PRESENCE OF MID/UPPER DISTURBANCES MOVING
INTO THE REGION FROM NORTHERN MEXICO. THE ADDED LIFT COUPLED WITH
INCREASING PW SHOULD ELEVATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
LATE IN THE WEEK.

STRONG GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE MORNING HOURS
ON MONDAY, BEFORE GRADUALLY DECREASING BY AFTERNOON. SEAS WILL
LIKELY REMAIN HAZARDOUS THROUGH THE DAY, ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS WELL
OFFSHORE. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE BAYS AND
NEARSHORE THROUGH ABOUT MIDDAY, WHILE AREAS FARTHER OFFSHORE ARE
UNDER AN ADVISORY UNTIL 7PM. WINDS VEER EAST TUESDAY, THEN
SOUTHEAST BY WEDNESDAY. WE CONTINUED TO WATCH FOR A POTENTIAL
MODERATE TO STRONG EASTERLY FETCH ACROSS THE GULF LATER IN THE
WEEK. GUIDANCE HAS BACKED OFF SOMEWHAT ON THE STRENGTH OF THE
FETCH. THAT BEING SAID, EVEN A LONG FETCH WITH WINDS 'ONLY' 15-20
KNOTS CAN BRING SEAS OVER 6 FEET TO THE OFFSHORE WATERS.
