.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1207 PM CST Sun Nov 9 2025

Conditions are developing as expected following this morning`s
cold front. Critical fire weather conditions are in play, strong
north to northeasterly winds of 15-25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph
and relative humidity has dropped to 15-30% across South Texas. A
Red Flag Warning remains in effect through 9 PM tonight. Although
winds diminish tomorrow, elevated fire weather conditions will be
in place and a Fire Danger Statement has been issued for all of
South Texas from 9 AM to 9 PM.

Lows tonight will drop into 40s, with a few localized area in our
northern counties dropping into the upper 30s. Early Tuesday
morning is looking to be our coldest of the season so far, light
winds and clear skies will set the stage for efficient radiational
cooling. There is a medium to high (40-80%) chance for lows
dropping into the 30s over our northern counties, stretching from
La Salle to Victoria counties. In fact, the NBM has a low (10-30%)
chance of brief freezing temperatures in cold drainage areas
stretching across McMullen County to Goliad County.

Onshore flow returns Tuesday, returning a warming trend heading
into the upcoming weekend, with highs back well into the 80s by
Wednesday and lows in the 60s. The next cold front looks to arrive
Saturday or Sunday, bringing our only mentionable low chances for
showers and thunderstorms, mainly over the Victoria Crossroads.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1207 PM CST Sun Nov 9 2025

Critical fire weather conditions are currently in place, with
relative humidity nearing its minimum between 13-30% across South
Texas. Strong northeasterly winds of 15-25 mph gusting to 35 mph
favors a fast spreading risk. The Red Flag Warning is in effect
until 9 PM tonight. Lighter winds tomorrow decrease the fire weather
risk but elevated conditions will remain intact across the entire
area. Therefore, a Fire Danger Statement has been issued from 9 AM
to 9 PM Monday for all of South Texas. Onshore flow returns Tuesday
but elevated fire weather conditions may persist over the Brush
Country during the afternoon Tuesday and Wednesday. Minimum relative
humidity rises above 30% late in the week, negating fire weather
concerns.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1207 PM CST Sun Nov 9 2025

Sustained winds of 20-30 knots with frequent Gale-force gusts has
warranted an expansion of the Gale Warning to cover the bays
through 2 PM this afternoon. A Small Craft Advisory will follow
through mid-afternoon Monday for the bays. The Gale Warning
remains in effect for the open waters through 8 AM Monday, before
being replaced by a Small Craft Advisory through 6 PM Monday.
Conditions are expected to improve by Monday evening, with winds
below 20 knots and seas subsiding below 7 feet. Gentle to moderate
(BF 3-4) onshore flow returns Tuesday, strengthening to a south
to southeasterly fresh to strong breeze (BF 5-6) Tuesday night
through Wednesday night. Moderate to fresh breeze will follow to
close out the work week.
