Long Term
(Friday night through next Wednesday) Issued at 420am CST Thu Jan 23 2025 - One more cold night Friday night

- Warm-up into the 70s by this weekend

One more cold night is expected Friday night with temperatures dropping into the mid 30s to upper 40s. As high pressure moves eastward this weekend allowing for onshore flow to return, temperatures will quickly warm up to seasonal values and increase moisture with PWAT (Precipitable Water) values around 1.3-1.5". Highs this weekend will range from the upper 60s to lower 70s while overnight lows only drop into the 50s. A weak cold front will swing across the region late this weekend into early next week which will interact with the abundance of moisture leading to a medium to high chance for showers and thunderstorms Sunday and Sunday night. In the wake of the front Monday, temperatures will cool slightly with highs remaining in the 60s with near zero chances for rain. Low end rain chances will enter the forecast once again Tuesday as the aforementioned front retreats northward and stalls across the South Texas. This will also allow warmer air to advect into the region promoting highs in the 70s mid- week next week.

Marine
Issued at 420am CST Thu Jan 23 2025

Weak onshore flow will shift northerly this morning and strengthen to 15-20 knots in wake of a weak cold front. Moderate to strong winds will veer northeasterly through the day Thursday, with Small Craft Advisory conditions more likely over the offshore waters late tonight. Winds will weaken to under 20 knots Friday morning and continue decreasing to under 15 knots by Friday evening while shifting to the southeast. Moderate to strong southeast flow will develop once again Friday night and hang around through the weekend. A weak cold front Monday will shift our winds back to the northeast, although remain in the weak to moderate range. Low rain chances Saturday will increase to medium to high chances Saturday night through Sunday night. Rain chances will decrease to low Monday and hang around through mid- week.
