.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1139 AM CST Mon Nov 24 2025

Most of this morning`s shower activity near KVCT has pushed off
into southeast Texas. The remainder of the afternoon is looking to
be shower-free. Meanwhile, a cold-front will be approaching the
area from the northwest, with 30-40% chance of a
shower/thunderstorm in the vicinity of KVCT, but confidence in
this is low. This may briefly bring MVFR conditions. After 06Z,
while winds will slowly be shifting to a more northerly component
and diminishing to 5KT, drier air does not filter in as quickly
resulting a moist surface layer leading to patchy fog across the
Coastal Plains. Confidence in Dense Fog is low at the moment but
will need to see how the evening model runs capture the lowest
visibilities Tuesday morning. Regardless, MVFR/IFR conditions
brought by VSBY will increase early Tuesday morning.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1139 AM CST Mon Nov 24 2025

Low to medium (20-50%) rain chances return tonight through
Wednesday. Moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) east- southeasterly winds,
with occasional strong (BF 6) gusts will continue through this
afternoon, resulting in Small Craft Advisories through 3 PM North
of Port Aransas and through midnight S of Port Aransas. Winds
will ease on Tuesday, becoming light to gentle (BF 2-3), before a
stronger reinforcing front moves offshore midweek. Behind the
front, winds will shift to the north- northeast and strengthen
back to moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) with intermittent strong (BF 6)
gusts. This pattern is expected to hold through Friday, after
which onshore flow returns. Confidence decreases heading into next
weekend, but increasing moisture associated with the renewed
onshore flow and an approaching upper- level disturbance may bring
the next chance for rain along with fresh to strong (BF 5-6)
southeasterly winds.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1139 AM CST Mon Nov 24 2025

While minimum relative humidity values do briefly drop to the 25-35%
range across the Brush Country Tuesday afternoon after a cold front
passage, this will be short lived and the region overall remains
above 30-40% min RH through the forecast period. While Tuesday
afternoon will see drier air, Energy Release Components remain low
(below the 35th percentile) through the upcoming week keeping the
fire risk low.
