Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 109 PM CDT Sun Apr 27 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday Night) Issued at 109 PM CDT Sun Apr 27 2025 Tough to beat a fcst of persistence. Despite a continued se/s llvl flow, prevalent mid/upper ridging in place will keep chances of precip minimal at best. Look for overnight-morning cloudiness followed by pcldy afternoons & evenings with lows around 70 and highs in the 80s. 47 && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through next Saturday) Issued at 109 PM CDT Sun Apr 27 2025 No major changes to the previous forecast. This week will feature warm and humid weather with the combination of onshore/southerly flow from the surface through the 700 mb layer and southwesterly flow aloft. This will result in a deep layer of moisture with PWAT values nearing 1.6" by mid-week. Along with the increase in moisture through the week, an upper-level low is projected to move into the Southern Plains Wednesday into Thursday. Isolated showers and thunderstorms Wednesday during the afternoon hours, courtesy of available moisture and pockets of enhanced lift. Rain chances will increase later Wednesday night into Thursday morning as a weak cold front associated with the trough approaches from the west. Models seemed to have backed off on the boundary pushing into SE Texas, and instead have it retreating back into Central Texas just before it gets to the CWA. In any case, this is pretty late in the forecast period, and models seem to still be trying to grasp a consistent story. If the front does indeed push through by Thursday, we will see a brief period of cooler and drier air before the return of onshore flow. Even if the boundary does not push through, while we will miss out on the cooler and drier airmass, rain chances will continue through Saturday as weak disturbances pass overhead and interact with the available moisture. Highs for this week will generally be in the mid to upper 80s. Max heat index values will approach the low 90s. As mentioned by the previous forecaster, locations that receive rainfall on Thursday may observe cooler than forecasted high temperatures. Lows through the week will be in the low to mid 70s. Going into the weekend lows will be slightly cooler as temps drop into the mid to upper 60s inland and in the low 70s along the coast and potentially the Houston Metro. Adams && .AVIATION... (18Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 1230 PM CDT Sun Apr 27 2025 VFR conditions and 10-20kt SSE winds will prevail for the remainder of the daylight hours. Speeds will diminish this evening and we should see some MVFR stratus fill back in. There could be a few pockets of IFR cigs mixed in, but not expecting that to be widespread. Gradual transition back to VFR mid-late morning Monday. 47 && .MARINE... Issued at 109 PM CDT Sun Apr 27 2025 Onshore flow of 7-15kt will persist through much of next week with gusts to 20kt becoming possible Tuesday through Thursday. Low seas of 2-4ft will persist through Tuesday morning, increasing to 4-6ft Tuesday through Thursday as the winds get slightly higher. Minimal rain chances exist through Wednesday, but an approaching boundary may bring showers and thunderstorms Thursday morning or afternoon. The persistent onshore flow will lead to increasing risk of strong rip currents through the week with rip current statements possibly needed as early as Monday or Tuesday. The combination of abnormally high astronomical tides and the increasing onshore flow will lead to higher than normal tides with high tide on Tuesday morning rising to around 3ft above MLLW and around 3.5ft above MLLW for high tide on Wednesday. Tides at this level have been known to result in coastal flooding on Gulf-facing beaches. Be mindful if planning to travel to the beach this week with multiple hazards in the forecast.
