1237am CDT Sat April 20 2024

Long Term
(Sunday through next Friday) Issued at 147pm CDT Fri April 19 2024

By the start of the long term period, the cold front is expected to have moved across Deep South Texas and the Gulf waters. Northerly winds will increase through the morning hours, with the breeziest winds expected over the Gulf waters and along the immediate coast. Wind gusts around 20-30 MPH will prevail through the day, but should begin to subside late Sunday evening. The latest guidance indicates portions of Deep South Texas, mainly the Rio Grande Valley, will still see scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms through late Sunday morning. High temperatures will be noticeable cooler, ranging from the 70s across the Northern Ranchlands to around 80 degrees across the Lower RGV.

Monday will be the coolest day of the week as the region remains under the influence of surface high pressure, with morning low temperatures in upper 50s to low 60s and afternoon high temperatures in the 70s. However, this brief cool down will be short-lived. As surface high pressure shifts east through mid week, surface winds will return to the east and southeast and result in the start of a warming trend once again. An uptick in wind speeds is expected by mid week in response to a deepening system traversing the Plains. Temperatures will gradually warm each day, with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s expected by Thursday across Deep South Texas.

Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions are likely, with a low potential for Small Craft Advisory conditions. More favorable conditions are expected beginning on Monday and continuing through the end of the week.
