UPDATE...
Please see the 12Z aviation forecast discussion below.
AVIATION...
Mainly IFR cigs will continue along the I-35 corridor for the next
several hours, with improvement to MVFR expected around 15Z. Isolated
showers are also expected, but with limited coverage, we will not
mention in the forecast at this time. We will then see a return of
VFR conditions after 17Z today as southerly winds remain at or below
10kts. Low clouds are expected to develop again early Wednesday
morning along the I-35 corridor. At DRT, low clouds have managed to
develop and we will keep MVFR conditions in the forecast through
mid-morning. VFR will return to DRT by late morning and continue
through today.

SHORT TERM..
Cloudy skies will begin to scatter later this morning. Southerly
flow bringing in rich Gulf moisture today, setting us up for more
rain chances this week. For today, the rain chances are limited to
mainly the coastal region this afternoon as diurnal heating
decreases stability. High temperatures today will be in the upper
80`s to low 90`s and will be highest temperatures we will see all
week.
LONG TERM..
An approaching cold front will move into the area on Wednesday
increasing rain chances for the area before stalling near the Texas
coast. With its slow movement and shallow depth, showers are likely
to carry on behind the front along with slightly cooler
temperatures. Highest PWs will be along the coastal plains with
values nearing 2.0. Brief periods of heavy rain are possible along
the boundary, likely in the western counties where confluent flow is
greatest.
Post-frontal troughing extends rain chances Thursday and through the
weekend. Trough axis is trending deeper and further south into our
area. Latest model runs are in agreement to closing it off with the
NAM being more aggressive. With this feature, even further rain
chances extend into Sunday night.
