.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday Night)
Issued at 330 AM CDT Tue Sep 24 2024

A stationary boundary draped across the NW portion of SE Texas this
morning will contribute to scattered showers and storms today,
particularly during the afternoon hours. Max temperatures today will
be in the 90s under partly to mostly cloudy skies. Tonight`s
temperatures will be in the 70s for the majority of the area.
Locations behind the stalled front will experience slightly cooler
lows as temperatures dip into the mid to upper 60s.

Wednesday`s temperatures will be a few degrees cooler in the NW
portion of the area as the front sags further into SE Texas and N/NE
winds bring in cooler air. The front is projected to slowly move
through Wednesday during the day, reaching the coast late Wednesday
night into early Thursday morning. As the front cuts across the area
it will interact with ample moisture in place resulting in scattered
showers and thunderstorms ahead of and along the front. Closer to I-
10 and south, compressional heating ahead of the front should allow
for highs to reach into the low 90s. Wednesday night into Thursday
morning lows in the Brazos Valley and Piney Woods will certainly
feel more fall like as temperatures drop into the low 60s. Closer to
the metro and south to the coast lows will be in the mid 60s to low
70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Monday)
Issued at 330 AM CDT Tue Sep 24 2024

In the wake of the cold front, area weather should be on the quiet side
through much of the period. Mid/upper level low will be situated off
to our northeast, and we might need to watch for increasing clouds occasionally
circulating around the low. Main weather story will be the lower humidities
each day, bottoming out in the 30s/40s inland and in the 50s closer
to the coast. For temperatures, highs will be in a mid to upper 80s
range at the start of the period (Thursday) and will gradually increase
almost daily back towards an upper 80s to mid 90s range at the end of
the period (Monday). Lows will be in the 60s for much of the area.

.MARINE...
Issued at 330 AM CDT Tue Sep 24 2024

Light to occasionally moderate onshore flow, low seas and increasing
chances of showers and thunderstorms can be expected through today.
Winds will gradually back to the northeast on Wednesday ahead of an
approaching cold front, and there will also be increasing chances of
the showers and thunderstorms. This cold front is expected to move
through the area late Wednesday night into Thursday bringing moderate
to strong northerly winds through Thursday night. Seas will likely increase
to 4 to 6 feet due to the increase in winds. Small Craft Advisories
may be needed.
