Issued at 1210 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025 A surface low over the northwest Gulf and mid-level PVA will allow for a medium to high chance for light showers or drizzle across South Texas this morning, before rain chances diminish this afternoon as the system moves east. The lull in rain chances will continue through Wednesday before ramping up again ahead of our next cold front expected Thursday. Low to medium rain chances will continue through Thursday night before dropping to low behind the front. This is the season of cold front one after the other, models are already in good agreement with a front early next week as well.

Below normal temperatures are expected through Tuesday, highs today will be limited to the 50s with lows tonight dropping into the mid to upper 30s north and to the mid 40s along the coast. The reinforcing surge of high pressure late tonight into Tuesday morning will cause near freezing wind chills. Just a tad warmer highs on Tuesday with less cloud coverage and lows in the 40s Tuesday night. Brief return of onshore flow Wednesday to Wednesday night ahead of the next cold front will warm temperatures to near normal with highs from the mid 60s to lower 70s and lows from the mid 50s to mid 60s. && .AVIATION...
