DISCUSSION
Issued at 1208 AM CDT Sat May 2 2026
Cooler temperatures and gradually clearing skies should lead to a beautiful afternoon today. Temperatures will gradually warm Sunday, leading us into a moderate heat risk by Tuesday. Another cold front will approach South Texas by the middle of the week, which will result in another slight cool down for the latter part of the work week.
Minor coastal flooding is possible today during high tide as strong northeasterly flow continues over the gulf waters, with swell periods around 8 seconds, and seas 7-10 ft. We have also continued the moderate rip of rip currents for today and tonight, but there is the potential that we will need to increase this to a high risk.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS) Issued at 630 AM CDT Sat May 2 2026
MVFR conditions are prevailing across most sites excluding the western TAF sites. This will begin to clear as we progress through the morning returning to VFR by late morning/early afternoon in some spots (ALI and CRP). Winds will pick up this afternoon with gusts around 15-20 knots. VFR will be likely through the remainder of the day with winds coming down in the evening to light and variable.
MARINE
Issued at 1208 AM CDT Sat May 2 2026
A Gale Warning is remains in effect this through early this morning. Winds will gradually diminish to a moderate to fresh (BF 4- 5) tonight through Sunday before further weakening to gentle to moderate flow (BF 3-4) and turning east to southeast.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 1208 AM CDT Sat May 2 2026
Relative humidity values will generally remain at or above 35% through the forecast period. This, combined with winds less than 20 mph and ERC in the 0-40 percentile will prevent fire weather concerns.
