.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 420 AM CST Thu Jan 23 2025

-Cold temperatures again tonight; Freeze Warning through 9 AM

-Gradually warming trend through this weekend

A Freeze Warning will be in effect through 9 AM this morning as
temperatures will warm into the 50s and 60s across the region. The
overall trend through tomorrow will remain dry with showers possible
over the waters. This will be in relation to a weak boundary moving
offshore and moisture pooling over that portion of the area.
Temperatures will plummet again tonight (though this will be the
last time for a little while) into the 20s and 30s. This will
likely warrant one last freeze warning tonight though this will be
assessed in the next package. A gradual warming trend can be
expected into the weekend as highs will return to the 60s and 70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 420 AM CST Thu Jan 23 2025
- One more cold night Friday night

- Warm-up into the 70s by this weekend

One more cold night is expected Friday night with temperatures
dropping into the mid 30s to upper 40s. As high pressure moves
eastward this weekend allowing for onshore flow to return,
temperatures will quickly warm up to seasonal values and increase
moisture with PWAT values around 1.3-1.5". Highs this weekend will
range from the upper 60s to lower 70s while overnight lows only drop
into the 50s. A weak cold front will swing across the region late
this weekend into early next week which will interact with the
abundance of moisture leading to a medium to high chance for showers
and thunderstorms Sunday and Sunday night. In the wake of the front
Monday, temperatures will cool slightly with highs remaining in the
60s with near zero chances for rain. Low end rain chances will enter
the forecast once again Tuesday as the aforementioned front retreats
northward and stalls across the South Texas. This will also allow
warmer air to advect into the region promoting highs in the 70s mid-
week next week.

.MARINE...
Issued at 420 AM CST Thu Jan 23 2025

Weak onshore flow will shift northerly this morning and
strengthen to 15-20 knots in wake of a weak cold front. Moderate
to strong winds will veer northeasterly through the day Thursday,
with Small Craft Advisory conditions more likely over the offshore
waters late tonight. Winds will weaken to under 20 knots Friday
morning and continue decreasing to under 15 knots by Friday
evening while shifting to the southeast. Moderate to strong
southeast flow will develop once again Friday night and hang
around through the weekend. A weak cold front Monday will shift
our winds back to the northeast, although remain in the weak to
moderate range. Low rain chances Saturday will increase to medium
to high chances Saturday night through Sunday night. Rain chances
will decrease to low Monday and hang around through mid- week.
