DISCUSSION

Issued at 103 PM CST Tue Jan 27 2026

A gradual warmup will take place through Thursday before our next cold front Thursday night. Temperatures Thursday are expected to peak in the 60s and 70s across South Texas for the first time in some time. That warm up will be short lived though as freezing temperatures are expected to return by the end of the week. Highs this weekend will top out in the 40s and 50s while overnight lows drop into the 20s and 30s Friday and Saturday night, likely requiring the need for freeze warnings and/or cold weather warning/advisory products. Wind chill values Saturday and Sunday morning will range from the teens to upper 20s. If you're planning to spend an extended period of time outdoors, please bundle up and take the proper precautions. While models aren't to keen on the idea of rain, low (10-20%) rain chances are anticipated Thursday and Thursday night with the frontal passage.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 103 PM CST Tue Jan 27 2026

MARINE

Issued at 103 PM CST Tue Jan 27 2026

Gentle to light east to northeasterly flow will continue as a weak cold front pushes through late tonight into Wednesday bringing a moderate northerly wind for Wednesday. Winds shift back onshore Thursday, before a much stronger cold front pushes through Thursday night into Friday. Strong to near gale force conditions are likely through Saturday. Gentle to moderate easterly flow returns early next week. Other than low to medium rain chances Thursday into Thursday night, no rain chances are expected through the upcoming weekend.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 103 PM CST Tue Jan 27 2026

Minimum relative humidity values will remain below critical values across the Brush Country and inland Coastal Plains through the end of the week except for Thursday, where RH values will be above 40%. Although RH values will be low most days, light winds, cool temperatures and low Energy Release Component values will limit the fire weather potential.
