.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1233 AM CDT Tue Oct 14 2025

Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect until 11 AM Tuesday. Conditions
are borderline and the water may only reach the dunes in some
locations Tuesday morning. Otherwise, the chance of minor coastal
flooding, as well as the rip current risk, diminishes the remainder
of the week due to decreasing swell periods and light east to
southeast winds across the gulf waters.

As for rain chances, models indicate that the high pressure aloft
currently centered over S TX will move northeast of the area as a
mid level inverted trough approaches the TX coast from the east on
Tuesday. A surge of deeper moisture with PWATs increasing to 1.5-1.8
inches is forecast to move into the southern Coastal Bend and spread
to the southern Brush Country through the day. This will be
sufficient for a low to medium (10-40%) chance of mainly showers
through Tuesday afternoon. Slightly drier air with PWATs dropping to
around 1.3-1.5 inches is expected Wednesday. This may be just enough
for a low chance of showers along the sea breeze Wednesday afternoon
combined with the trough tracking west across the region. Thursday
is expected to be drier as the inverted trough exits to the
northwest as it is absorbed by a long wave trough tracking east
across the CONUS. As the southern periphery of the long wave
trough approaches the region, another surge of moisture will be
drawn northwestward into Southeast and East TX through Friday.
This will bring another low (10-20%) chance of rain on Friday and
into the weekend, mainly across the Victoria Crossroads. The upper
trough may also bring a weak cold front into S TX by Sunday With
sufficient moisture expected across the region, the combination of
the weak frontal boundary and upper level trough to bring a 20%
chance of mainly showers across the eastern portions of S TX by
Sunday. Not much of a cool down, but the airmass may be drier.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1233 AM CDT Tue Oct 14 2025

Not much change from the previous TAF package. VFR conditions are
expected for majority of the early morning hours (first 12 hours).
However between 10-14Z, light patchy fog from ALI to VCT will lead
to brief MVFR conditions. In addition, LRD and COT are expected to
develop MVFR CIGs and impact terminals between 11-15Z in response to
a surge of moisture moving along the Rio Grande. Prevailing VFR
conditions return by 16Z across South Texas. Light and variable
winds early this morning will become predominantly east to southeast
at 10-15 knots with occasional gusts up to 20 knots through the
afternoon hours.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1233 AM CDT Tue Oct 14 2025

A gentle to moderate easterly breeze (BF 3-4) can be expected
Tuesday, becoming a gentle onshore breeze (BF 3) Wednesday and
Thursday. The flow is expected to strengthen to moderate (BF 4) out
of the southeast by Thursday. Low (5-20%) rain chances expected
through the week.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1233 AM CDT Tue Oct 14 2025

Minimum RH values will generally remain above 30% through most of
the period and the ERC forecast will be at 70-90th percentile across
the inland Coastal Plains and Brush Country. However, a generally
weak east to southeast wind should preclude any fire weather
threats. The chance for wetting rains is low to medium (10-40%)
Tuesday across the southern Coastal Bend to the southern Brush
Country. Low to very low chances expected the remainder of the
week.
