.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Thursday night)
Issued at 118 AM CST Wed Dec 4 2024

The synoptic pattern for the next few days will feature a low to
the northeast and another one west with the southern Plains under
a low amplitude ridge. A quasi-zonal flow across South Texas will
keep our CWA under generally persistant conditions. A weak lower
level disturbance and a warm front that`s in the vicininty will
keep rain chances in the forecast for now. A low to moderate
30-60% chance of showers lingers through this evening mainly east.
Chances continue to diminish after that with better chances
remaining offshore.

Afternoon temperatures today will top out in the mid 70s across the
region and around the low 70s for tomorrow under mostly cloudy
skies. Overnight lows tonight can be expected to bottom out in the
mid 50s to 60s near the coast.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 118 AM CST Wed Dec 4 2024

Key Message:

- Low to medium chances of rain will continue through early next
week.

Our unsettled patten will continue through the long term, beginning
with a low to medium (30-60%) chance of rain through Sunday night.
As the previous forecast package mentioned, it looks like we may
actually get a half an inch of rain over the Brush Country and
higher amounts over the Victoria Crossroads and Coastal Bend, with
guidance indicating around 1.5 inches, from Thursday night through
Sunday night. While models seem to be grabbing on to these values,
it is still very questionable. Confidence is low in such high rain
totals.

Temperatures will stay in the 60s and 70s through the weekend,
gradually warming into the upper 70s and low 80s Monday. Another,
mostly dry, cold front looks like it will surge south through the
area Tuesday, dropping high temperatures back into the 50s and
60s.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1108 PM CST Tue Dec 3 2024

Scattered to numerous showers can be expected through the
remainder the overnight hours, and into Wednesday morning. There`s
not a lot of instability to work with, but cannot rule out a
thunderstorm or two. MVFR CIGs are currently in place across most
sites and are expected to prevail through much of the TAF period,
but brief IFR CIGs and VSBYs cannot be ruled out within heavier
showers and storms. Precipitation is expected to end from west to
east late Wednesday morning as a warm front is progged to move
northward along the TX coast Wednesday. Following the frontal
passage, CIGs will be slow to lift but should reach VFR by late
afternoon/early evening across most sites. Winds will generally
remain light and variable.

.MARINE...
Issued at 118 AM CST Wed Dec 4 2024

Onshore flow tonight is expected to remain moderate to strong
tonight through the morning hours before weakening to weak to
moderate levels by this afternoon, falling below advisory levels.
However, seas will take longer to subside and may stay at advisory
levels through Wednesday night. Showers and thunderstorms will
continue tonight through at least Thursday with a 50-80% chance.
Winds will shift to the northeast Thursday and increase to
moderate strength. Moderate to occasionally strong northeast winds
will continue through Friday, with Small Craft Advisory
conditions possible. Winds will weaken Friday night and turn
onshore Saturday. Medium to high (50-80%) chances of showers will
continue through Sunday night, then diminish to low to medium
(20-50%) chances early next week. Another cold front will sweep
across the waters early next week, with moderate to strong
northerly winds in its wake.
