Ahead of it, there is a medium to high (40% to 70%) chance for fog development across the Coastal Plains and I-35 Corridor. Areas of dense fog can`t be ruled out. - Breezy northerly winds and gusty conditions in the wake of the front. Dry conditions persist through the week. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Sunday night) Issued at 109 PM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 Dry and warm conditions are ongoing across South Central Texas early this afternoon. Today`s highs are projected to reach the mid to upper 70s. Low clouds are forecast to develop across the Coastal Plains and spread to the north into the I-35 Corridor overnight through Sunday morning. During that same time period, patchy to areas of fog are forecast to develop across the Coastal Plains and portions of the I-35 Corridor. While this is happening with the fog across the Coastal Plains, a Pacific front is pushing down across the Rio Grande and Southern Edwards Plateau. The frontal passage is likely to move across the I-35 Corridor between 830 AM and 930 AM Sunday and should be exiting the southern part of the local area by noon. In the wake of the frontal passage, moderate northerly winds of 10 to 20 mph and gusts of 25 to 30 mph are forecast for most of the day time period. A cooler airmass also follows the front with forecast high temperatures in the 60s for the Hill Country and Southern Edwards Plateau with the rest of the area in the mid to upper 70s. Overnight lows are forecast to be colder than previous mornings with lower 30s over portions of the Hill Country and Southern Edwards Plateau and upper 30s to lower 40s elsewhere. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through next Saturday) Issued at 109 PM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 Dry with a warming trend for most of the work week with the exception of Friday as a cold front moves across the local area late Thursday night through early Friday morning. Next weekend looks dry and cool. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 553 PM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 VFR skies should last through midnight. After midnight some fog issues may expand west into the I-35 TAF areas. We`ll continue with a more aggressive approach given the light SSW winds and small temp/dew point depressions. A surface low is projected to drop into North Central Texas by 09Z, so by around 12Z the winds about this SE tracking low should show an increasingly westerly component, leading to dry air and a retreat of the fog before the front arrives. The frontal arrival is roughly 13Z to 15Z, and ill-defined thanks to the surface low. By 15Z, all sites should see the wind picking up out of the NW/N, and by 18Z gusts of 20- 25 knots should be common. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
