.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Thursday night)
Issued at 213 PM CDT Wed Oct 23 2024

No significant changes are expected over the next day or so. The
surface continues to be influenced by a muggy conditions with
dewpoints in the 60s. This will continue to lead to warm afternoons
and night time periods not as cool as last week. For tonight, should
see some nocturnal stratus once again for the eastern two-thirds
with lows in the 60s. In addition, the elevated dewpoints will lead
to patchy to areas of fog mainly in the Coastal Plains and areas
east of the I35 corridor late tonight. Any fog should lift by the
mid-morning hours.

For tomorrow, the mugginess will continue with no rain expected.
Highs will top out in the middle 80s to near 90 degrees. Morning
clouds should mostly break out by the afternoon hours similar to
today. Tomorrow night, another night in the 60s is expected with
some increasing cloud cover by morning. Fog chances may be a bit
less tomorrow night and will not mention any fog for tomorrow night
at this time.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 213 PM CDT Wed Oct 23 2024

Upper level short wave moves across east Texas on Friday and
continues to push to the east throughout the day. An upper level
ridge builds across northwest Mexico on Friday and extends into the
four corners region through the weekend. A cold front is forecast to
push from northern Texas to the south and maybe into the northern
part of the Hill Country late Friday night into Saturday morning. It
is likely that the frontal passage pushes back to the north keeping
the local area under southerly flow and warm conditions. Therefore,
expect above normal temperatures through the extended forecast
period and no rain chances with the exception of late in the period
along and east of Interstate 35.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 634 PM CDT Wed Oct 23 2024

VFR conditions under clear skies this evening. We expect low stratus
and fog to gradually develop 07Z-14Z Thursday across the Coastal
Plains, I-35 corridor, and portions of the Hill Country and U.S. 90
corridor, resulting in a mix of IFR to LIFR conditions. HREF is
currently indicating a 80-100% probability of at least IFR ceilings
through the above mentioned regions, including the I-35 corridor
airports, with some pockets of 50-80% probabilities of LIFR
conditions across the Coastal Plains, Hill Country, and SAT area.
Conditions are forecast to improve back to VFR 15Z-18Z as low stratus
and fog scatter out.
