...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 140 AM CST Sun Jan 12 2025

Key Messages...

- A weak cold front will move across the region today, with mainly
dry conditions forecast.

Clear skies and cold temperatures are seen early this morning, with
lows just before sunrise expected to be in the low to mid 30s. Frost
will again be possible, but lows quickly rise into 40s by mid
morning which should quickly melt any frozen patches.

A weak cold front located in Central Texas will move across the area
today. Concurrently, a coastal low develops and will be offshore of
the central Texas coast this afternoon. Almost all of South Central
Texas will be dry today, with only low chances for a light shower in
the far eastern portions of Lavaca and DeWitt Counties in the
afternoon. Highs today will vary from the mid and upper 50s north to
the low and mid 60s south due to the timing of the front. Areas of
breezy wind are seen behind this front with winds staying elevated
overnight into Monday morning. This will mainly re-enforce the cold
air with highs on Monday expected in the low 50s to low 60s
areawide.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 140 AM CST Sun Jan 12 2025

Key Messages...

- Cold mornings, with increasingly warmer afternoons can be expected
  through the week.

- Another arctic cold front looks to impact the region by the end of
  next weekend into the following week.

The upcoming work week looks rather benign with mainly zonal flow
aloft and temperatures near or slightly below normal through
Thursday. Mornings in the 30s and 40s will be common with afternoons
in the 50s Tuesday and Wednesday, then back into the 60s by Thursday.
Our next storms system will approach by late week, but not before we
see south-southwesterly surface winds ramp up ahead of it on Friday.
This will result in much warmer temperatures near or slightly above
normal for mid-January. Most locations should see highs in the 70s
with a few spots over the Hill Country and Edwards Plateau still in
the 60s. Our next cold front is scheduled to arrive next Saturday
morning and bring much cooler air back into the picture for the end
of next weekend into the following week. Some showers and perhaps an
isolated thunderstorm will be possible both Friday evening and again
on Sunday, but confidence is low in precipitation timing, location,
and type at this distance.
