Updated at 1128 AM CDT Wed Jul 16 2025 - Low (10-30%)chance of showers and thunderstorms Friday, mainly Victoria Crossroads. - Moderate to major risk of heat related impacts over the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1128 AM CDT Wed Jul 16 2025 While there will not be much of an appreciable difference, the forecast is still dependent on the development (or lack of development) of tropical invest AL93 over the northeast Gulf. Current thinking is that this system will remain mostly disorganized (though a tropical depression could develop) as it moves along the northern Gulf coast. This would allow a plume of moisture to move over the area, increasing our chances for precipitation Friday and Saturday over the Victoria Crossroads. Chances are still low (10-30%) and will mainly be seabreeze driven. The increased moisture will also lead to some increasing temperatures. Most locations will still remain below Heat Advisory criteria, but we will face a moderate to major risk of heat related impacts over the weekend. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1128 AM CDT Wed Jul 16 2025 VFR conditions are expected through the TAF cycle for all but ALI and VCT where MVFR ceilings and, perhaps, visibility are possible early Thursday morning. Have included a TEMPO for each of these sites for ceilings, but have not really included a mention for MVFR visibility. Drier air is expected which will reduce the confidence in fog/reduced visibility. && .MARINE... Issued at 1128 AM CDT Wed Jul 16 2025 Mainly gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) southeasterly winds with gusts to fresh (BF 5) levels will persist over the waters through the rest of the week and into the weekend. Occasionally higher gusts around 25 knots will be possible from Port Aransas and southward each afternoon. Rain chances are low through the period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
