DISCUSSION
Issued at 923 PM CST Fri Feb 6 2026
Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley will generally remain on the periphery of 500 mb high pressure throughout a majority of the period, with dry weather the result. The only exception to this will be on Tuesday, with isolated to scattered convection over the three immediate coastal counties but especially over the lower Texas coastal waters, due to rapid passage of a 500 mb trough through the Lone Star State.
Temperature-wise, with no significant cold front passages likely, well above normal daytime highs and overnight lows will occur. Long range model guidance, however, does hint at the passage of a cold front on Valentine's Day.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS) Issued at 528 AM CST Sat Feb 7 2026
Shallow ground fog bringing IFR to VLIFR this morning observed at KBRO (and likely at KHRL with 100% RH - site has inop vis sensor) will continue through sunrise before burning off. MFE may see patchy fog around sunrise, but it's drier further inland. Light and variable winds this morning will increase through the afternoon, primarily out of the south to southwest. VFR conditions prevail for much of Saturday.
MARINE
Issued at 923 PM CST Fri Feb 6 2026
Light to moderate winds and low to moderate seas will prevail for the lower Texas coastal waters throughout the forecast period. Although Small Craft Advisory is not likely to be needed, Small Craft Should Exercise Caution cannot be entirely ruled out, especially on Monday and Friday.
