.AVIATION...GOES image of total precipitable water showed an axis
of drier air moving from the northwest Gulf of Mexico into the
Coastal Bend. This led to a delay in onset of low stratus/fog
over the region tonight compared to last night. Satellite imagery
shows some stratus has formed over the eastern Brush Country and
near the VCT area along with fog. HRRR model is a little more in
line with what is currently going on and shows more in the way of
low stratus affecting south Texas overnight. Latest NAM forecast
soundings show low stratus/IFR ceilings and fog/MVFR vsbys will
expand after midnight over the inland coastal plains with stratus
moving into the Brush Country by 08Z Tuesday. Expect fog/LIFR
conditions will affect ALI-BEA-VCT line with fog now at VCT and
10Z at ALI. The fog will dissipate and ceilings lift from 14-16Z
over the coastal plains to MVFR as winds shift to southwest-west
due to a pre-frontal trough. Winds will shift to northerly with
passage of weak frontal boundary late in the afternoon. VFR
conditions will occur across the area by 18Z Tuesday. Winds will
be light behind the front Tuesday night and could see fog
redevelop over VCT area by 04Z Wednesday.
