469 FXUS64 KHGX 121150 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 650 AM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Sunday Night) Issued at 312 AM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Another warm and sunny day is expected for today. Winds will become southerly again this afternoon as high pressure shifts east. This will create an uptick in humidity for today and Sunday. Highs for today and Sunday will be in the 80s inland and in the 70s along the coast. Winds for Sunday will be on the breezy side as the aforementioned surface high shifts to the east and a surface low develops over the Great Plains resulting in a tighter pressure gradient. While we do remain dry and breezy on Sunday, humidity will be on the rise; therefore, fire weather is not a concern at this time. Adams && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Friday) Issued at 312 AM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Upper ridging from Mexico into the Plains/Midwest will temporally flatten (but remain firmly in control locally) as a trof tracks eastward across the northern US. A weak, dry, front will sag southward into the region late Monday night & early Tuesday, but will quickly washout near the coast. Onshore flow will resume areawide by Tue afternoon. With increasing dewpoints, overnight lows will trend upward for the remainder of the workweek as will daytime highs. Might see some 90 degree readings sprinkled into the fcst by Thurs-Fri. With mid-upper ridging in place, rain chances will be low-nil. Next chances probably won`t be mentioning until next weekend as ridging shifts to the east and we get into a more swly flow aloft as the next western trof dips into the Desert Southwest. 47 && .AVIATION...
