.SHORT TERM...
Similar to yesterday, fog has developed across South Texas early
this morning and a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 9am. By mid
morning a weak front will push south through the area and northerly
winds around 10 knots will help the fog dissipate. By late
afternoon, dewpoints will fall to the 40s and skies will clear. We
won't see a big change in temperatures today, with highs in the
upper 70s to low 80s but lows will fall to the near 50 degrees
tonight. Surface high pressure will build south overnight and dry
weather with temperatures in the low 70s are expected for Saturday.
&&
.LONG TERM (Saturday Night through Thursday)...
Upper level ridge shifts east by Saturday night setting up an
onshore flow once again. Will increase low level moisture, but deep
moisture return will be limited. With dpts back into the mid 60s by
Sunday night, could start to see some overnight fog concerns for
Sunday night and Monday night before our next cold front moves
through the area Tuesday morning. ECMWF has come more into line with
the quicker/drier GFS solution, moving the front through Tuesday
morning and then bringing in some drier air by Wednesday. Will still
have a fair chance for showers east, but wouldn't expect much in the
way of rainfall totals. Mid levels appear too warm for much chance
of thunder with the frontal passage. Ahead of the front
temperatures warm into the upper 70s to around 80 Sunday, then well
above normal into the lower to mid 80s by Monday.
Behind the front will see a significantly cooler day on Tuesday with
highs only in the 60s. Will gradually see a decrease in cloud cover
in the afternoon as upper level winds shift around to the north as
well. High pressure will be short lived as another upper system
moves into the southwestern US by Wednesday into Thursday. Moisture
return looks a bit better mid-week with Gulf moisture and possibly
some Pacific moisture moving into the area. This trough looks slow
to move across the area and should result in slight chances for
rain...possibly for a few days and more normal temperatures.

.MARINE...
Patchy fog will continue across the bays and nearshore waters
through mid morning, then a weak cold front will move across the
waters by mid to late morning. Overnight weak to moderate offshore
flow is expected and will continue through Saturday.Winds will become weak onshore Saturday night into Sunday. The flow
will strengthen to moderate levels Sunday night into Monday in
advance of the next cold front. The front will push offshore early
Tuesday morning with SCA conditions likely over the Gulf waters
Tuesday through Tuesday night. Scattered showers will affect the
waters Monday night into Tuesday.
