.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Thursday night)
Issued at 347 PM CST Tue Dec 3 2024
Afternoon temperatures will remain below average, with highs
ranging from the mid 50s to mid 60s across the CWA. A notable
pattern shift is anticipated beginning tonight into tomorrow. A
surface high pressure over the MRV will migrate southward to the
deep SE States, while a trough and associated warm front near the
Texas coast advance northward.
By early tomorrow morning, showers and isolated thunderstorms are
expected to develop over SETX, with precip coverage intensifying
throughout the day. While the potential for severe weather and
excessive rainfall appears low at this time, isolated strong
storms and localized street flooding from heavy downpours cannot
be entirely ruled out.
PoPs will lower by tomorrow evening however, this will not spell
the end of rain for the area. Additional rounds of showers and
thunderstorms are forecast from Thursday morning through the
evening hours as the warm front lifts north into the CWA ahead of
another cold front expected to sink south.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through next Monday)
Issued at 347 PM CST Tue Dec 3 2024
The long range portion of the forecast begins Friday with a brief
shot of dry, chilly weather courtesy of Canadian high pressure
moving east of the forecast area...with highs over portions of cntl
LA/interior sern TX currently forecast to not even get out of the
40s during the day. Meanwhile, a mid/upper-level cutoff low over the
Four Corners is progged to dig slowly swd, turning the flow aloft a
little more onshore, allowing for moisture to begin increasing as we
head into the weekend. Finally, a developing coastal trof could lead
to widely scattered showers, mainly over our wrn-most zones, by late
Friday night. At this time, temps are progged to remain above
freezing where POPs are being carried...for now, it appears all
precip will be liquid, with the area having any real potential for
possible winter weather being e-cntl LA where rain chances are
really really slim at best.
The bulk of the remainder of the long term just looks gross.
Increasing moisture off the Gulf from the cutoff low aloft (forecast
soundings show mean RH values increasing to around 90 pcnt while
PWAT values build to 1.9 inches) will combine with the trof and a
series of impulses aloft to lead to a period of elevated rain
chances beginning Saturday. Rain chances peak Sunday as the low
opens up and ejects ewd across the forecast area. WPC is currently
carrying the wrn 1/2 of the area in a Marginal Risk for excessive
rainfall for Saturday into early Sunday. All the precip finally ends
Monday as a cold front sweeps across the area.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1111 PM CST Tue Dec 3 2024
Mostly VFR conditions are anticipated through sunrise with showers
and MVFR ceilings becoming likely through Wednesday afternoon.
Light and east winds will become SE in the morning.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 347 PM CST Tue Dec 3 2024
A small Craft Advisory was issued for the outer marine zones due
to slightly elevated winds. Winds will drive a favorable NE`ly
fetch to build seas over 6ft for southern portions of the 20-60nm
offshore zones, particularly south of Sabine Pass. Rain chances
will be elevated from the middle of the week onward as a low
pressure center moves up the Texas coastline and a warm front
moves north through the GoM.
