KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 118 PM CDT Tue May 12 2026

- Seasonal temperatures and drier conditions this week.

- Rain chances increase by late weekend.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 118 PM CDT Tue May 12 2026

Expect continued drier and warmer conditions to persist over the through early weekend. A low level ridge is expected to shift to the west allowing for moisture to return to the region, though no precip will be expected due to the lack of upper level support. The next chance for some rain will be late this weekend into early next week. This will be the likely arrival of our next disturbance as a trough digs around the Four Corners region extending into West Texas/Northern Mexico. This will lead to low to medium showers and thunderstorms once again. Will continue to monitor this possibility as this is still a few days out.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 118 PM CDT Tue May 12 2026

VFR conditions will be expected through this evening. Guidance is in better agreement that patchy to dense fog is expected to develop along the Coastal Bend into the Victoria Crossroads Wednesday morning (ALI,CRP,VCT). This will lead to MVFR to LIFR conditions which was accounted for with TEMPOS. These conditions should break out returning to VFR by 14-16Z .

MARINE

Issued at 118 PM CDT Tue May 12 2026

A gentle to moderate northeasterly breeze (BF 3-4) is expected to continue through this afternoon before turning to the southeast and relaxing to a light to gentle breeze (BF 2-3) tonight through Thursday. Winds will increase to moderate levels once again Thursday night and continue into the weekend. Little is expected in the way of precipitation through the period.
