Long Term
(Monday through Friday)

Global model guidance is in quite good agreement this morning regarding the evolution of the upper air pattern across the southern CONUS for next week. Area will start off the week in an already well established and strengthening moisture/warm air advection regime between deep layer ridging over the ERN Gulf and an approaching positively tilted upper trough stretching from the northern Plains to the Desert SW. This will yield above normal warmth, with lows of 65 to 70 (10-15 degrees above normal) and highs in the lower to mid 80s (5-10 degrees above normal) on MON.

The upper trough is forecast to advance slowly EWD MON and MON night, with well above normal low temperatures continuing TUE morning. As the trough continues EWD, it will nudge a cold front through the area during the day TUE, bringing low to mid range (20-40%) rain chances and west to NW winds that will usher in a cooler and drier airmass by TUE night. Dry and sunny/clear with temperatures at or below seasonal normals is expected WED and THU.

Marine
Onshore flow will continue through Easter Weekend as surface high pressure continues to slide east of the region. Expect southerly winds and seas to increase Sunday night and Monday as the pressure gradient increases between the surface high to the east and developing surface low over the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. Expect low chances of showers ahead of the next cold front Tuesday, followed by strong offshore flow Tuesday night.
