.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday Night)
Issued at 153 AM CDT Tue Apr 8 2025

Surface high pressure will be situated across the region today...gradually
moving off to the east later tonight and Wednesday. Combined with
a dry northwest flow aloft, look for mclear skies and really nice
wx through the short term period. 47

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Monday)
Issued at 153 AM CDT Tue Apr 8 2025

Dry weather with above normal temperatures will be the main story
through the long term period. Upper trough across the northeastern
CONUS and an amplified ridge across the western CONUS will keep our
region under a northwesterly flow, resulting in warmer and drier
conditions. At the surface, a weak and dry cold front will push over
the region Thursday night into Friday. Minimal impacts are expected
with this FROPA, other than a brief period of surface northwest
winds and a reinforcing surge of drier air. Ahead of the front,
expect a warm Thursday with temperatures near the 90-degree mark
across our western counties. Heading towards the weekend, surface
high/ridging aloft will dominate the pattern, keeping a warm and dry
forecast. Persistent southerly flow will bring a surge of deep Gulf
moisture inland after Sunday, which means an uptick in humidity
levels as we head into the upcoming week.  JM

.AVIATION...

Issued at 153 AM CDT Tue Apr 8 2025

VFR with clear skies and light winds. 47

.MARINE...
Issued at 153 AM CDT Tue Apr 8 2025

With the surface high over the region, light winds and low seas will
prevail today. Light onshore flow resumes later this afternoon/early
evening as the high pressure shifts to our east. A weak and dry cold
front will enter the coastal waters Thursday night into Friday,
resulting in a wind shift to the north-northwest by Friday. This
pattern won`t last long as onshore winds will return by Saturday. A
fetch of moderate to strong southerly winds will set up across the
western Gulf early next week, potentially leading to elevated seas
and building seas after next Monday. Overall, a dry forecast is
expected this week with light to occasionally moderate winds and low
seas.

Below water levels are expected across Galveston Bay today,
especially during times of low tides. A Low Water Advisory is in
effect from 11 AM - 3PM this afternoon.  JM
