.AVIATION...

Light winds develop later this evening (except KLRD with a more
southerly flow by 06Z) with lots of mid and high clouds during 
the overnight period. Winds eventually become southerly during the
day Saturday with the high clouds diminishing but scattered mid 
level clouds (or scattered to broken). Not much else needs to be 
said.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 346 PM CDT Fri Apr 27 2018/ 

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Saturday night)...

Upper level ridge will move out of the Four Corners region into
the central part of the country this weekend. This will result in
mostly quiet weather across South Texas during the short term.
Winds through the period will gradually return onshore as surface
high pressure slides off to the east. However, deeper moisture
will be lacking across South Texas and will keep the forecast 
dry. The better moisture will reside just south of the region 
tomorrow across Deep South where low rain chances will exist. 
Regarding temperatures, highs Saturday will in the upper 70s along
the coast to lower and mid 80s inland. Low temperatures will be 
in the upper 50s to low 60s both tonight and tomorrow night.

LONG TERM (Sunday through Friday)...

Ridging over the region will begin shifting to the east as a 
deepening mid/upper level low/trough moves over the Pacific 
northwest on Sunday.  Onshore flow will strengthen to a moderate 
flow on Sunday into the early part of the upcoming week, increasing 
moisture across the region.  Cloud cover will increase overhead, and 
as dewpoints rise it will feel more humid next week than this past 
week. Throughout the weekdays the mid/upper level low will dig 
southeast, sending impulses ahead in the southwest flow aloft over 
the region.  A south to SSW H85 flow will provide a fair cap over 
the area, but as these impulses pass overhead, some isolated showers 
and storms could pop up Monday through late in the week.  By 
Thursday the disturbance aloft will move closer to the Panhandles, 
and with stronger energy overhead and higher moisture, anticipate 
more scattered showers and storms will be possible Thursday through 
Friday.   

The warming trend will continue Sunday into the middle of the week 
with the persistent south to south southwesterly low level flow. 
Highs will reach the mid to upper 80s east of HWY 281 and in the 
lower 90s west of HWY 281 by the middle of the week. Temperatures 
will be a few degrees cooler late in the week with more potential 
rain.
