DISCUSSION...
Updated for 00Z Aviation Discussion.
AVIATION...
VFR conditions will continue at all sites through the period. A
cold front will move through by 07Z shifting winds to the north.
Some gusty winds are possible after sunrise, mainly at CRP.
PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 352 PM CST Sat Nov 30 2019/
SHORT TERM (Tonight through Sunday Night)...
A cold front is currently draped across the Hill Country with a
pre-frontal trough down the Rio Grande. Ahead of this front,
clearing skies have allowed temperatures to soar into the lower
and mid 90s across much of the area. We double checked the
calendar, and yes it is still the end of November. We've crushed
record highs at CRP (by at least 6 degrees) and LRD (by at least
9 degrees). Victoria remains socked in with clouds and
temperatures in the lower to mid 80s.
Winds are beginning to shift across western portions of the area
as a pre-frontal trough moves through. The front is expected
this evening and overnight. It should be offshore by day break.
While most of the area should remain dry, an isolated shower is
possible east and northeast as the front moves through. Low
temperatures are tricky as usual with an overnight frontal
passage. Expect most of the area to fall into the 50s overnight,
but low 60s may linger along the coast. As the upper level low
pulls off to the northeast tomorrow and high pressure builds over
the region, high temperatures will top out in the 60s and 70s
Sunday with mainly sunny skies and decreasing winds.
Cool temperatures are forecast for Sunday night as skies remain
mainly clear. Lows will be in the 40s over most of the area.
LONG TERM (Monday through Saturday)...
High pressure over the area Monday will keep some stronger winds
over the Gulf waters which could lead to Small Craft Advisory
conditions for the offshore waters. Otherwise, a dry and relatively
comfortable start to the week is in store for us here in South
Texas. The high pressure will shift east Monday night to Tuesday,
returning onshore flow. Temperatures will warm and moisture will
return to the area. A coastal trough looks to develop just offshore
Wednesday. With the axis remaining offshore, have continued a slight
chance of PoPs over the Gulf waters, but left PoPs out of the
forecast inland.
A low Wednesday night/Thursday will deepen near the panhandles,
strengthening the southerly flow over the waters. An associated cold
front will move through the area early Friday morning. Models still
differ a bit on timing, but the latest run of the GFS moves the
front through between 06Z and 12Z while the ECMWF moves it through
between 12Z and 18Z. Based on the previous forecast and the
performance of the GFS for previous fronts, will continue with the
GFS for this front. Though moisture will have had a chance for some
return, only isolated showers are expected, mainly for the Coastal
Plains and across the waters.
Temperatures on Friday will drop only slightly behind the front.
Though the front is fairly weak, elected to drop temperatures a few
degrees across the area from the model blends as the GFS and ECMWF
both indicate lower temperatures than the blend. North to
northeasterly breezy conditions will keep temperatures a bit cooler
through Saturday, with highs only reaching into the 60s.
MARINE...
Moderate to strong offshore flow will continue through Monday
morning with Small Craft Advisories possible before winds weaken to
weak to moderate Monday afternoon, then become onshore by Tuesday as
the high pressure shifts east. It will be drier through Thursday
when moisture returns ahead of the next front that is expected to
move through late Thursday night/early Friday morning.
