Updated at 523 PM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 - Low to medium rain chances through early next week, with greater chances and focus over the Hill Country and North Texas. - Warmer than normal temperatures continue through early next week before more seasonal conditions take hold. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 148 PM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 Moisture (PWAT values of 1.6-1.8") pooled ahead of the stalled cold front will continue to promote low to medium (30-60%) rain chances through Sunday before quickly tapering off Monday. Although rain chances will remain elevated with medium chances, beneficial rain is not expected due to the lack of lift and instability in the mid- levels. Therefore, most of the area can expect less than 0.50" of rain with only the Victoria Crossroads in play to get up to an inch through Sunday. Our next chance to break this stretch of above normal temperatures will be mid to late next week with the arrival of our next cold front just in time for Thanksgiving. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 523 PM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 VFR conditions early in the period will gradually deteriorate overnight as light and variable winds, increasing low-level moisture, and weakening mixing promote the development of patchy fog and low clouds. Several terminals are expected to fall to MVFR/IFR toward daybreak, with pockets of LIFR possible. Scattered showers will begin to increase late tonight into Saturday morning. All sites have PROB30 groups included for more significant CIG and VSBY reductions from -SHRA or isolated TSRA, with brief periods of denser fog for ALI and VCT. By late morning into the afternoon, winds become northeasterly around 5-10 knots as deeper moisture and weak forcing maintain additional intermittent -SHRA and TSRA across much of the region. While gradual improvement toward higher-end MVFR or VFR is anticipated by late afternoon into the early evening at some locations, uncertainty remains high given the potential for lingering convection and saturated lower levels. && .MARINE... Issued at 148 PM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 Gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) winds will continue through Saturday night, keeping seas generally in the 3-5 ft range. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will also remain possible through the weekend as an upper-level disturbance approaches. Onshore flow is expected to strengthen to fresh to strong (BF 5-6) Sunday through early next week ahead of the next frontal passage. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 148 PM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 Fire weather concerns will remain low through early next week, as minimum relative humidity values stay above 40% across the region. With abundant low-level moisture in place and a weakened front lingering nearby, low to moderate rain chances (30-60%) will persist through the weeekend. Another front is forecast to move through the weekend.Winds will increase on Sunday into Monday to 10-15 mph ahead of another approaching frontal boundary. This system could result in additional rain chances through Monday. In the wake of the passing front, minimum relative humidity is expected to fall to around 30- 35% across the Brush Country and western Coastal Plains. However, lighter winds between 5-10 mph should keep fire weather concerns minimal. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
