Warm and humid conditions come to an abrupt end tonight/early Sunday as strong Pacific cold front sweeps through the region Sunday morning and should be off the coast by 7 or 8 am. Scattered showers may develop along the front as it races through but the cap and limited moisture/instability will hamper the threat of any thunderstorms. CAA in full force Sunday with gusty northerly winds in the wake of the front and will set the stage for a pleasantly cool week. LONG TERM [Sunday night Through Saturday]... High pressure dominates through Friday with temperatures near normal or slightly below initially then by Thursday getting to near normal to just slight above normal as high pressure weakens and light onshore moisture return gets underway. A very slim chance for showers Friday into Saturday but for now will keep the forecast dry. MARINE... Small craft conditions developing with northerly winds 15-25 knots and gusts near 30 knots as a cold front sweeps off the coast Sunday morning. Windy conditions persisting into Sunday night then gradually relaxing becoming more northeasterly. Low water conditions may briefly be possible in the upper portions of the bays Sunday then returning to normal by evening. This coming week will be dominated by northeast to east winds with broad low pressure in the Southern Gulf and ridging to the northeast of SETX. Elevated seas will persist much of the week thanks to the long easterly fetch. FIRE WEATHER... Elevated fire weather conditions developing Sunday in the wake of the cold front.
