.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1237 AM CDT Mon May 4 2026

Temperatures will start to increase today through Wednesday with
increasing clouds and a moderate risk of heat-related impacts
Tuesday and Wednesday across most of South Texas.

A low (~20%)chance of rain return to the Victoria Crossroads
Wednesday as a dryline/surface low moves across the area. The rain
chances will increase to low to medium (25-45%) chances by Thursday
as cold front sags through the area. Rain chances will continue into
the weekend with a warm front lifting north Friday and an upper
level low moving toward South Texas.

Temperatures are a little tricky behind this cold front because it
is entirely possible the front will wash out before it actually gets
here, though guidance has been fairly consistent. With medium
confidence, we`ll expect cooler temperatures Thursday with a gradual
warm-up through the weekend.

Minor coastal flooding and moderate to high rip current risk is
possible Thursday and Friday due to a moderate northeast flow
developing across the western Gulf behind the cold front along with
increasing seas and swells.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1237 AM CDT Mon May 4 2026

VFR conditions are to be expected through the entirety of the
period. A short period of MVFR CIGs will be possible at the LRD
terminal around 15-17Z, though confidence is low at this time for
this. Accounted for this with a tempo at this time. Winds will be
out of the southeast through the period around 10-15 knots. Gusts
will be around 20-25 knots beginning in the afternoon period across
most if not all sites.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1237 AM CDT Mon May 4 2026

A gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) onshore breeze will increase to a
moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) breeze through the middle of the week.
Winds will shift briefly to the northeast late Thursday through
Friday night as a cold front moves across the area before returning
to the southeast Saturday. A low to medium chance of showers and
thunderstorms will return Wednesday and continue through the
weekend.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1237 AM CDT Mon May 4 2026

Relative humidity values will generally remain at or above 35%
through the forecast period. This, combined with winds generally
less than 20 mph and ERC in the 0-40 percentile, will prevent fire
weather concerns. Low to medium rain chances return Wednesday and
continue through the weekend.
