.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 1218 PM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

Quiet weather pattern will continue through the short term with
clear skies, warm temperatures and no chance for precipitation.
Light onshore winds will develop this afternoon and overnight
bringing in shallow boundary layer moisture. Thus expect some
patchy to areas of fog across the inland coastal plains late. Fog
will burn off by mid morning Saturday revealing clear skies and
seasonable temperatures with highs ranging from the mid 90s west
to mid 80s east. Fog potential will be a bit lower Saturday night
with stronger low level jet. Otherwise no significant sensible
weather to speak about.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 1218 PM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

Key Messages:

- Above normal temperatures this weekend into next week

- Elevated to critical fire weather conditions Sunday through
  Thursday, mainly across the Brush Country

Not much change from the previous forecast packages. The upper level
ridge over South Texas this weekend will slide eastward early next
week as a weak surface boundary attempts to move into the area.
Although confidence continues to decrease in the passage of that
boundary, it may come close enough to influence our daytime highs
Tuesday and Wednesday and cool us off a few degrees in the absence
of the ridge. Unfortunately, another upper level ridge will move
back into the region late next week promoting well above normal
temperatures once again. Please remember to take frequent breaks and
remain hydrated if outdoors and always look before you lock as heat
index values are beginning to reach the upper 90s near 100 degrees.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 624 PM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

VFR conditions will prevail through early Saturday morning, when
fog development is once again expected over portions of the
Coastal Plain. The highest chances of IFR-LIFR conditions will be
at KALI and KVCT with a low-medium (20-30%) chance of
restrictions at KCRP. Fog will burn off by 14-15Z and VFR
conditions will prevail through Saturday. Generally light SErly
winds prevail overnight with gusts to about 20kts developing by
Saturday afternoon.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1218 PM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

Expect a light and variable winds this afternoon with light
onshore winds developing tonight into early Saturday. A
tightening pressure gradient will result in increasing onshore
winds Saturday afternoon (BF 3-4). A moderate to fresh breeze (BF
4-5) can be expected by Sunday which will continue into Monday.
Winds will diminish to a gentle to moderate breeze (BF 3-4) Monday
night, and will continue through the rest of next week. Moderate
to fresh (BF 4-5) southerly winds will continue Sunday through
Monday night before decreasing to gentle levels (BF 3) Tuesday
morning. These lighter winds will be shorted lived as moderate BF
4 condition are expected to return Wednesday evening.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1218 PM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

Min RH values less than 30% across the Brush Country and a slight
increase in southeast winds will result in an elevated fire danger
Saturday. Elevated to critical fire weather conditions will
continue Sunday into Monday across the Brush Country as relative
humidity values drop to as low as 13-25% with Energy Release
Component (ERC) values in the 70-85th percentile range. Although
20 foot winds are expected to hover near 20 mph, the low relative
humidity values and high ERC should be enough to promote critical
fire weather conditions. As we get into Tuesday, fire weather
conditions are expected to improve from critical to elevated as
relative humidity values improve into the lower to mid 20s to the
mid 30s and ERC values drop into the 70th percentile.
