6/13 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Steak & Potatoes” Thursday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

Our only real impacts through at least Saturday would be the threat of thunderstorms, and that would be mainly over the open waters during diurnally favored hours. Convective threat likely to increase from Sunday onward, again especially over the open waters. If low pressure does develop over the Bay of Campeche early next week, an increased pressure gradient would bring stronger winds to the waters as early as Sunday or Monday. The most likely forecast would be for Small Craft Exercise Caution level conditions over the protected waters and Small Craft Advisory conditions possible over the open waters by Monday or Monday night. The persistence of southeasterly winds would likely produce swell over shorelines facing that direction, but tide ranges will be comparatively narrow over the weekend and early next week, which should, at least for now, limit any coastal flooding potential.
