.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1153 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025
A rain-free forecast with high temperatures starting close to normal
and then becoming higher by the end of the forecast period. With a
mid-level ridge building over the region, more dry air will filter
in due to the subsidence aloft. Meanwhile, at the surface, the
northerly winds will shift towards the east southeast around
Monday afternoon as surface high pressure moves over the Southern
Plains shifting southeastward to the Central Gulf States.
A combination of swell, waves, and tides will keep a High Risk of
Rip Currents in effect for the rest of today. Even after today, a
moderate risk of rip currents is expected through Monday as well.
