Discussion...
light winds to prevail across the region tonight as surface high
pressure holds across the region. Expecting temperatures to
fall into the lower 60s to middle 60s tonight...near 70 in Lufkin.
Could see some patchy fog by daybreak...however with intrusion of
low clouds by daybreak...fog formation may be limited. For this
reason...held off on mentioning fog in the forecast.
On Thursday...weak surface boundary to progress south across the
region. Could see some isolated showers and thunderstorms.
Subsidence associated with upper-level ridge centered across
central Texas to allow for hot conditions in the afternoon with
highs approaching 90 degrees south of the front.
High pressure to rebuild across the region on Friday allowing for
cooler temperatures with highs in the 80s. Low temperatures
Saturday morning forecast to dip into the 50s and 60s.
Otherwise...dry conditions to prevail through the remainder of
the forecast period as upper ridge becomes anchored across the
region. Expect high temperatures to climb into the middle to upper
80s with lows in the 60s throughout the weekend and into early
next week. /05/

Aviation...
stratocu field continues to clear from northwest to southeast this afternoon and
VFR conditions are expected to prevail at all terminals for most of
the 00z taf period. Continuation of light and variable winds
overnight combined with mostly clear skies and wet soils from the
recent rainfall will likely result in patchy fog before sunrise
Thursday morning. Any MVFR/IFR ceilings/visibilities should lift and dissipate
allowing VFR conditions to prevail once again by 23/16z. /09/
