Area forecast discussion

Aviation... 
VFR conditions will prevail this evening. A steady influx of Gulf 
moisture will ensure that another round of low stratus develops 
overnight. Ceilings could potentially lower to borderline MVFR/IFR 
around sunrise but have kept MVFR for now and will re-assess with 
the 06z taf issuance. Model guidance suggests patchy shallow fog 
in the near-daybreak hours at kaus...and could also see reductions 
in visibilities due to haze at kssf/ksat as smoke from fires across the 
Yucatan Peninsula drifts into southern Texas. Ceilings will lift/break 
out to VFR during the late morning/early afternoon hours. Southeast-southerly 
surface winds at or below 10 kts overnight will increase to 12 to 17 kts 
Thursday afternoon.

Previous discussion... /issued 301 PM CDT Wednesday may 22 2013/ 


Short term (tonight through Thursday night)... 
middle to upper level pattern is progressing as previously 
anticipated with trough moving to the Mississippi Valley and a 
ridge moving across nm. This will continue through the short term 
period with the ridge becoming dominant. At the surface high 
pressure is centered over the central Gulf of Mexico and the low 
level winds are becoming southeasterly. This will bring Gulf 
moisture back to the region quickly. This will be a dry pattern 
with warming temperatures. 


Long term (friday through wednesday)... 
there will not be much change in the long term forecast. The middle 
to upper level ridge will remain in place through the weekend and 
early next week. Models show a short wave trough moving through 
ridge Friday which will mean a slight chance for thunderstorms 
developing over the Mexican mountains and moving into our western 
area. Have included a small area of slight chance probability of precipitation Friday and 
Friday night. Otherwise...there are no chances for rain until the 
last period of the forecast when an upper level trough moves into 
western Texas bringing a chance for thunderstorms next Wednesday.
