Updated at 530 PM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 - Warmer this weekend with more sun Saturday afternoon and Sunday. - Another cold front Sunday night but showers are not expected. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1214 PM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 Overcast conditions will persist through the area today into the overnight hours. Very low chances for drizzle remain as moisture remains in the lower levels and isentropic lift persists into this afternoon. A warming trend will develop Saturday into the afternoon Sunday before a cold front moves through. Winds will begin shifting from the north during the day Sunday peaking around 5-10 kts for inland areas, and 15-20 kts for coastal areas. Expect breezy northerly winds behind the front Sunday night. Temperatures are going to drop with lows in the 40s Sunday and Monday night and highs in the mid 60s during the day Monday. Beginning Tuesday winds will shift back to southeasterly flow and a warming trend will develop again into the back half of the week. The potential for both land and sea fog remains low. For marine concerns winds remain south to southwest tonight into Sunday, which is generally not conducive to sea fog scenario. SST are in the upper 50s so we are reaching the time period where we will have to keep an eye on this. Overland is more questionable especially tomorrow night with light winds and sufficiently elevated dew points, but at this time probabilities are fairly low. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 530 PM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 Mostly VFR conditions will prevail through the cycle at area terminals, with the exception of a brief period between 09-14Z Saturday when MVFR ceilings return to eastern sites. Otherwise, expect cloudy skies and a light and variable breeze. && .MARINE... Issued at 1214 PM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 Winds are forecast to weaken to gentle to moderate heading into the weekend, with the wind direction varying. A few showers will remain possible today into Saturday. Dry conditions will then develop later in the weekend as another frontal boundary moves through, with these conditions continuing into next week. Winds are forecast to strengthen to a strong to near gale breeze Sunday night into Monday likely requiring another Advisory. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 1214 PM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 Elevated fire weather conditions are not expected through the week. Winds will remain light to moderate inland, predominately out of the north to northeast. Minimum relative humidity will remain above 30% daily through Saturday. Sunday`s relative humidity values will dip below 30% due to a passing cold front, however due to low ERC and winds, confidence is low for any elevated fire weather conditions. Low rain chances continue today through Friday, with greatest chances over the Coastal Bend and Victoria Crossroads. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
