.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1211 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025

The evening convection that moved across South Texas is largely out
of the area with a broken line moving through the coastal waters at
this time.  Meso models did a really poor job of handling this
convection, never really catching onto it even as it was ongoing.
This definitely gives concerns for what coastal convection for the
clarity of convection for Monday along the coast. A mid-level
shortwave approaches the Victoria Crossroads late in the night
(after 3am) and some guidance is picking up on showers and storms
developing with this toward morning. The energy associated with the
wave stretches out along the coast, so could see isolated to
scattered convection through the immediate Coastal Bend through the
morning hours and possibly into the early afternoon before the wave
kicks out.

Once this shortwave moves out, the mid-level ridge to our west
should be in control for a couple of days helping to bring some
drier mid-level air into the region and decreasing PWAT values.
Expect mainly dry conditions Tuesday and Wednesday as a result,
though an isolated shallow streamer shower in the morning is not
out of the question. Above normal temperatures and heat index
values between 105 and 110 are anticipated Monday through
Wednesday.

Later in the week we'll be focusing on tropical moisture approaching
the Texas Coast. Not much has changed with the expectation of this
wave, with the best chances for heavy rain remaining south of our
area, but expect an increase in cloud cover and medium chances
for showers and storms Thursday through Saturday with the highest
chances in the Coastal Plains. As a result of this increased
moisture, expect temperatures to fall back a few degrees and could
even be slightly below normal.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 608 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025

Scattered showers and thunderstorms from this morning are mainly
affecting KALI/KCRP with light thunderstorms activity through 14Z
or so, followed by a PROB30 group after sunrise for later
convection (KVCT). By this evening, convective storms diminish
and flight categories return to VFR/MVFR through Tuesday morning.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 1211 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025

A gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) onshore breeze will persist through
the first half of the week with a slight increase to moderate to
fresh (BF 4-5) Wednesday, before subsiding a bit late week.
Daily rain chances remain mostly low (20-30%) early this week.
Increasing up to moderate to high chances for the later part of
the week and into the weekend.
