KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 600 AM CDT Tue Apr 7 2026

- Near normal temperatures through the end of the work week

- Coastal flooding possible Tuesday during times of high tide

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1233 AM CDT Tue Apr 7 2026

Slightly below normal temperatures will continue tomorrow with near normal temperatures returning Wednesday with above normal temperatures not returning until late this weekend. Our next chances for rain will be late this work week as a shortwave is expected to move across the area. Sufficient moisture and the provided lift from the shortwave will promote medium (30-45%) chances for rain Thursday through Friday. One of the most interesting wrinkles in the forecast will be the potential for coastal flooding. Tide levels combined with wind and swell values show the expectation that coastal flooding will once again remain below criteria values, however, the long period swells have pushed water to the dunes at spots across the Middle Texas Coast during times of high tide. Therefore, will not issue an advisory and will defer to the morning shift tomorrow to evaluate conditions and view webcams before high tide at noon.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 600 AM CDT Tue Apr 7 2026

VFR conditions will prevail through majority of the period under mostly clear skies. Winds are expected to increase as we head into the afternoon around 10-15 knots. Possibility for MVFR ceilings at the western terminals is increasing (LRD and COT). Will continue to monitor the possibility for those ceilings to spread east toward ALI.

MARINE

Issued at 1233 AM CDT Tue Apr 7 2026

An easterly gentle to moderate breeze (BF 3-4) will continue Tuesday before veering to the southeast Tuesday night. Dry conditions are expected through Tuesday night with low chances (20-30%) return Wednesday and increasing to medium chances (40-55%) Thursday through Friday.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 1233 AM CDT Tue Apr 7 2026

Although drier conditions will continue through Wednesday, slight rain and thunderstorm chances return to the forecast late this work week. Relative humidity values will remain above critical thresholds. Therefore, elevated fire weather conditions are not expected.
