.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 232 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

A southwest  to northeast oriented band of moderate to heavy has
been fairly stationary across the northern counties for the past few
hours. Mesonet sites are reporting rainfall totals in the 1-1.75"
range, with the best coverage over Live Oak County. This rain is
established within the 925 mb frontogenesis zone where training is
ongoing. Additionally, we are monitoring a large MCS in Mexico which
is approaching the Rio Grande Plains. This area of convection is
occurring out ahead of a potent shortwave that has been moving
across Mexico and expected to cross South Texas later tonight into
Sunday. The KCRP VAD Wind Profile is showing a veering profile
through the depth of the atmosphere with backing winds aloft
indicative of the approaching shortwave. All this to say we have a
good chance for much needed rainfall over South Texas in the next 12-
18 hours. The latest CAM guidance is showing that a widespread area
of 1-2" if rain could still fall across the region during the
aforementioned period with locally higher amounts near 3" possible.
Rain chances will begin to taper off Monday morning as we dry out
throughout the week.

Below normal temperatures are expected Sunday and into mid-week
before returning to near normal values late in the work week. Above
normal temperatures could be back in the forecast by the end of next
weekend. Friday and Saturday will both feature low chances (15-25%)
for showers with the best chances across the Coastal Plains and
Victoria Crossroads.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 648 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

A mixture of MVFR to IFR conditions is ongoing across area

.MARINE...
Issued at 232 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

A moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) northeast breeze is expected tonight
strengthening to a strong breeze (BF 6) Sunday morning and continuing
through early Monday morning. Winds will gradually diminish Monday
weakening to moderate breeze Monday night. High rain chances (70-
90%) will continue through Sunday night decreasing to a medium
chance (40-60%) Monday before tapering off Monday night.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 232 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

A cold front is currently sweeping across the region which will
bring back below normal temperatures. Along the with the cooler
temperatures, rain chances also continue through Sunday night.
Relative humidity values in the wake of the front will remain above
critical thresholds. Therefore, elevated fire weather conditions are
not expected.
