.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 244 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025
Through tonight: Patchy fog has developed across our CWA already
this morning. Patchy dense fog is possible mainly over our southeast
zones toward sunrise. A Dense Fog Advisory is not anticipated but wl
continue to monitor the extent any dense fog development. Otherwise,
a continuation of dry weather and warmer than normal temperatures
are expected today and tonight. Ridging aloft over the central CONUS
will maintain northwest flow aloft across our CWA. Latest surface
analysis had a ridge across our CWA from the northeast. This surface
ridge will gradually shift to the southeast by Saturday morning.
Together these features will allow temperatures to top out a degree
or two warmer than on Thursday with highs in the upper 70s to near
80 degrees over most of the CWA. Tonight temperatures will bottom
our a degree or two warmer than this morning with lows in the low to
mid 50s at most locations. /22/
Saturday through Thursday night...High pressure at the surface and
aloft will continue on Saturday, from a surface high centered over
the northern gulf. With southwest flow, high temperatures will be in
the upper 70s. A weak frontal boundary will move into the area on
Sunday, but it looks like it will have very little moisture to work
with, so do not expect any showery activity. Some moisture will
increase on Monday into Tuesday, with a chance for showers mainly in
the north Monday night and Tuesday, as another frontal boundary
drops south into the area. Showers and thunderstorms will continue
to be possible on Wednesday. A stronger storm system will approach
the area Wednesday night into Thursday, but the models have
consistently been slowing down the system, with the ECMWF pushing
the front through on Friday. Either way showers and thunderstorms
will continue to be possible on Thursday, depending on the timing.
High temperatures will mostly be in the upper 70s to low 80s and
overnight lows will mostly be in the 60s, through much of the
extended period./15/

(18Z TAFS)

VFR conditions prevail with few clouds and light winds. Patchy
dense fog will be possible along our southern tier (HBG, PIB, and
HEZ). HEZ is a little less confident so opted to keep MVFR
visibility there, but lower visibility cannot be ruled out. Any
fog should clear by around 14z Sat./SAS/
