Updated at 538 AM CST Sun Feb 8 2026 - Fog is expected to tonight with a medium chance of locally dense fog - Marine fog chances increase next week && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1203 AM CST Sun Feb 8 2026 With our current south to southeast winds, we have begun to see dewpoints rise across the region. This warmer more moist airmass is expected to interact with the cooler sea surface temperatures and increase our marine fog risk Sunday into next week. Apart from the threat of fog, well above normal temperatures (5-15 degrees above normal) are expected to continue through next week. As for precipitation, dry conditions are expected throughout this forecast package except for Monday night through Tuesday and Tuesday night. A short wave disturbance is expected to trek across the region increasing our rain chances. Models have backed off the rain chances significantly with the best chances being well to the north. The best chances for rain will be across the Victoria Crossroads with a low 15% chance Tuesday night. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 538 AM CST Sun Feb 8 2026 Poor aviation conditions ongoing across eastern terminals this morning with LIFR levels affecting the sites due to fog. Conditions are forecast to improve to VFR levels around 15-16Z today, with these levels prevailing through late tonight. Another round of fog is likely tonight resulting in MVFR/IFR levels. Across western sites, VFR conditions will persist through the cycle. Winds will increase above 12 knots across eastern terminals this afternoon before becoming light again tonight. && .MARINE... Issued at 1203 AM CST Sun Feb 8 2026 A gentle (BF 3) to occasional moderate breeze (BF 4) can be expected through next week. As a more moist airmass moves into the region, the threat for marine fog over the bays and nearshore waters will increase beginning Sunday. Dry conditions are expected throughout this forecast package except for Tuesday and Tuesday night, where low (10-20%) rain chances are expected as a disturbance moves across the region. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 1203 AM CST Sun Feb 8 2026 Minimum relative humidity values (RH) will improve from the teens to 35% range Saturday to the 30-60% range Sunday. While RH values could briefly reach the 30% mark across the Brush Country next week, they are expected to remain above critical values through next week. Apart from the higher minimum RH values, Energy Release Component values are expected to drop below the 75th percentile with winds being relatively light. Therefore, elevated fire weather conditions are not expected. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
