.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...GFS/UKMET/ECMWF
HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON THE PRECIPITATION SHIELD DEVELOPING OVER
EDWARDS PLATEAU IN ADVANCE OF THE STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL SHORT

IN THE BASE OF THE TROUGH OVER THE TEXAS BIG BEND WILL BE EXITING
INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL TEXAS OVERNIGHT WITH INCREASING OMEGA FIELDS
MOVING IN FROM THE WEST AS UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE INCREASES.
LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS STILL LOOK APPROPRIATE FOR MAINLY
STRATIFORM PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS. WILL
CONTINUE TO MENTION THREAT FOR ISOLATED CONVECTION EMBEDDED
IN THE AREA OF LIGHT RAIN AS STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES MOVE
APPROACH THE REGION DUE TO VERY COLD TEMPERATURES (-24C AT 50H)
OVER COAHUILA. RAIN CHANCES WILL QUICKLY END FROM WEST TO EAST
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST.

THE COLD FRONT IS ADVANCING QUICKLY TO THE SOUTHEAST JUST TO
THE SOUTHEAST OF A LAGRANGE TO EAGLE PASS LINE AT 21Z WITH THE
STRONGER COOLING LAGGING BEHIND INTO THE HILL COUNTRY. EXPECT THE
COLD FRONT TO BE NEAR THE COAST IN THE 00Z-01Z TIME FRAME NOW.
WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR ALL BUT THE FOUR WESTERN BRUSH
COUNTRY COUNTIES FOR TONIGHT. GFS/NAM SHOW 925 MB WINDS 40-50
KNOTS OVER THE COASTAL PLAINS INTO THE COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT.

WITH CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT...ETA

.LONG-TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...THE LONG TERM FORECAST
BEGINS WITH A COLD START ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS THURSDAY MORNING...

FREEZE IN SOME AREAS. SEE SHORT TERM DISCUSSION FOR MORE INFO. THERE
SHOULD BE A DECENT 30-40 DEG REBOUND TO AFTERNOON TEMPS ON THURSDAY
GIVEN THE DRY AIRMASS AND SUNNY SKIES. MOS GUIDANCE IS SUSPECT IN
WARMING THINGS UP TOO QUICKLY THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...GIVEN
LIGHT WINDS THURSDAY NIGHT AND WINDS TURNING EAST OFF THE COOLER
SHELF WATERS ON FRIDAY. HAVE UNDERCUT THE GUIDANCE BY SEVERAL
DEGREES THESE PERIODS.

LOW LEVEL RETURN FLOW STRENGTHENS QUICKLY FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
AS LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. SHOULD SEE A
RETURN IN CLOUD COVER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EAST...ALONG WITH
WINDS FOR SATURDAY AND ON INTO SUNDAY.

POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH DEEPENS ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. EARLY
NEXT WEEK...WITH A WEST AND SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AHEAD OF IT ACROSS
TEXAS. ECMWF AND GFS DISAGREE EARLY WITH RESPECT TO NEXT FRONTAL
SYSTEM...WITH THE ECMWF SHOWING A SHALLOW FRONT STALLING OVER THE
AREA TUESDAY...AND THE GFS REMAINING WELL NORTH WITH THE FRONT.
GIVEN THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STILL BACK TO THE WEST...STRONG H85
SOUTHERLY FLOW AND SOUTHWEST/WEST FLOW ALOFT CHOSE NOT TO SHOW THE
FRONT INTO THE AREA ON DAY 7 AT THIS TIME.

&&

.MARINE...WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT...GALE
CONDITIONS ARE STILL EXPECTED WITH SUSTAINED WINDS LIKELY NEAR 40
KNOTS AS NAM/GFS SHOW 925 MB WINDS AROUND 50/45 KNOTS AT 06Z
RESPECTIVELY. MOVED UP THE GALE WARNING TO 11 PM THIS EVENING AS
THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE A LITTLE EARLIER THAN
