Updated at 1125 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 - Warmer this weekend with more sun this afternoon and Sunday. - Foggy conditions likely tonight across Coastal Plains. - Another cold front Sunday afternoon/evening but showers are not expected. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1125 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 Mainly mid-level clouds persist across the region this afternoon, especially for the southeast half of the forecast area. Should continue to see a slow shift to the east with these clouds through late today. As a result of the lingering clouds, warming has been a bit slow today, but still expect most locations make it into the 70s by mid-afternoon. Tonight is a bit complicated, with plenty of check marks on fog ingredients, but do not that the depth of the saturated low level layer is quite deep and this could certainly turn the scenario into more of a stratus one than fog. Will continue to lean toward fog, but don`t think it`s a given, and will not issue any advisory products at this time. A slow improvement of fog/stratus through tomorrow morning, but by mid-day should be mostly sunny with above normal temperatures expected (highs in the 80s for much of the area). Another cold front moves through tomorrow afternoon/evening, but aside from some shallow surface moisture, the deep layer will be much drier and convection is not anticipated. Will see breezy conditions develop briefly Sunday evening behind the front. Through the upcoming work-week, despite a fairly progressive pattern, we`ll be pretty quiet across South Texas. After cool temperatures Monday, a gradual warming trend will be in place through Thursday. Another front moves through Friday, but at this time it again looks to be a dry one. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1125 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 VFR conditions and very light winds persist this afternoon. Tonight gets more complicated with anything from MVFR to LIFR possible with either low CIGS and/or low vis. Will maintain the previously included 1/2 mile fog as the potential is certainly there, but it also could become more of a very low CIG situation. Either way expect poor flight categories much of the night for all sites. By mid-day Sunday VFR conditions will return with light to moderate winds. && .MARINE... Issued at 1125 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 A gentle to moderate breeze continues through the weekend, with the wind direction varying. A few showers will remain possible today followed by dry conditions on Sunday as another frontal boundary moves through. Winds are forecast to strengthen to strong to near gale levels Sunday night into Monday, likely requiring another Advisory. Northerly winds will gradually shift southeast and southerly mid-week. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 1125 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 Elevated fire weather conditions are not expected today into Sunday with a light and variable wind today becoming northerly tomorrow. A cold front will move through tomorrow afternoon with minimum relative humidity values dipping below 30% both Sunday and Monday, however due to low ERC and winds, confidence is low for any elevated fire weather conditions. Onshore flow returns again on Tuesday, with moisture increasing across the region and limiting our fire weather concerns. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
