.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1221 AM CDT Sat May 9 2026

The atmosphere over southeast Texas remains persistently moist
thanks to mid-level troughing that continues eastward,
funneling/injecting more vorticity into southwesterly flow as
anticipated on satellite imagery across West Texas. This is
evident from nearby 00Z soundings with PWAT values ranging well
above the 75th percentile at 1.75-2 inches. While the lift to
instigate more convection remains more scarce across southeast
Texas (especially compared to north Texas), a new round of
convection developing over the Red River Valley is expected to
proceed southward and introduce a chance of precipitation across
Piney Woods zones in the early morning hours on Saturday. Forecast
uncertainty has been elevated in this synoptic pattern thanks to
the mesoscale nature of disturbances and weaker forcing. Drier
antecedent soils and somewhat drier precipitation trends will
boost 1 and 3-hour flash flood guidance thresholds, leaving the
best chances of any flash flooding further east of the I-45
corridor through the day on Saturday. Additional parameters still
favor the chance of severe thunderstorm development (mainly
elevated mid-level lapse rates near 7 J/kg) for a threat of large
hail with any convection that can become robust enough.

Sunday`s frontal boundary will provide the long-missing lift
necessary for another round of convection (some of which could be
severe) carrying the potential for damaging winds and large hail.
This round of stronger storms is expected to enter southeast Texas
later on Mother`s Day (well after sunset) and clear the area by
Monday morning, leaving a lower chance of rain for any daytime
plans. By the beginning of next workweek, a reprieve arrives in
the form of cooler temperature maximums/minimums (upper 80s/mid
60s, respectively). Medium-range guidance suggests ridging
gradually displacing northwesterly flow aloft through the week as
it exits the Intermountain West, keeping mostly dry conditions in
place areawide. Temperatures will respond in kind by the end of
the week, nearing the 90-degree mark in some areas.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 612 AM CDT Sat May 9 2026

Mix of LIFR to MVFR conditions for much of SE Texas this morning
due to lower cigs and areas of patchy to dense fog reducing vis.
Fog will burn off and cigs will gradually lift after 15Z,
scattering out in the afternoon. IAH and sites northward could
see some iso showers for the rest of the morning, although
impacts should be minimal. A larger area of showers is currently
moving into the Matagorda Bay region and could affect sites in and
south of HOU through the mid morning hours. Another round of
showers and storms are possible during the late afternoon to early
evening hours.

Winds will remain light and variable for much of the day, becoming
SE at 5-10 KTS later in the afternoon. Model guidance is
suggesting MVFR cigs returning during the overnight to early Sun
morning hours, along with areas of patchy fog.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1221 AM CDT Sat May 9 2026

With a warm front remaining just offshore, a 30-50% chance of
thunderstorm development will continue through the next 48 hours
carrying the threat of locally strong downdrafts. By Sunday night
into early Monday morning, another round of thunderstorms will
carry an additional chance of strong winds offshore. Post-frontal
northerly winds will remain elevated offshore through Monday
before returning back onshore by Wednesday. These post-frontal
winds are expected to remain below the threshold requiring
issuance of a Small Craft Advisory at this time.
