.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday Night)
Issued at 239 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2024

High pressure over Texas will keep the weather generally uneventful,
with the exception of isolated showers/storms possible north of I-10
this afternoon (Piney Woods/Livingston areas). Activity may also form
along the sea breeze this afternoon as it moves inland. Otherwise,
expect warm temperatures and partly cloudy skies. Lows for tonight
Will be in the 70s with light patchy fog possible in the early
morning hours.

As for Sunday, a combination of a diffuse surface boundary moving,
forcing from remnants of Ileana (coming from the Pacific) and
remnants of Francine that will be sagging into the Lower Mississippi
Valley will yield about a 20-30% chance of showers and storms
generally west of I-45 on Sunday. Elsewhere, ridging and southerly
flow will continue to contribute to above normal daytime
temperatures as highs warm into the upper 80s along the coast and
into the 90s further inland. Locations in the Brazos Valley may be a
degree or two shy of 100F.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 239 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2024

Not a lot of issues are expected during the long-term with ridging
at the mid/upper levels prevailing through much of next week. Rain
chances should be hard to come by...with the seabreeze as the main
focus for isolated afternoon activity along/near the coast. Other-
wise, it`s going to be mostly hot and dry with a revisit of summer
like temperatures. Highs to range from the lower to mid 90s...with
heat index values in the 100-107F range. Hashtag second summer. 41

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 543 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2024

Winds will continue on a downward trend heading towards sunset
with VFR conditions prevailing. There is a slight chance of
isolated showers around and northeast of UTS...added in VCSH
around 04Z as a result. Elsewhere, the main story overnight/early
Sunday morning will be the potential for patchy fog which has been
hinted at in most sites around and south of the I-10 corridor.
There is consensus in the hi-res model guidance for scattered
convection to develop after 20Z Sunday. While this has been
covered in this set of TAFs as VCSH, there will be potential for
embedded thunderstorms in the late afternoon.

the period. A few showers or storms will be possible over offshore
waters towards the end of the upcoming week. 41
