DISCUSSION

Issued at 112 PM CST Sat Dec 13 2025

Dense fog will likely be an issue again tonight into tomorrow morning ahead of the front. As the front arrives expect gusty conditions will cooler temperatures in its wake. Lows are expected to drop into the 30s across much of the Coastal Plains and Victoria Crossroads. Some lows in our northern portions of the region especially drainage areas and up near Victoria could approach freezing. It's worth keeping an eye on as HREF probabilities has a low to medium chance (20-45%) for temperatures below 33 degrees. Otherwise, along and ahead of the front a low to chance will exist for showers and thunderstorms though best chances will be over the waters. The rest of the period will consist of persisting dry conditions with a warming trend dominating the remainder of the week. Highs look to be in the upper 80s across much of the region by Thursday.

AVIATION

Some IFR conditions are still lingering out west, though all sites are expected to eventually reach VFR within the next couple of hours. Another dense fog and low ceiling episode is likely again tonight aheaad of the front. This will lead to IFR to LIFR conditions across much of the region once again, and clearing out by 15/16Z as the front arrives. Conditions should begin the transition to VFR there after with winds increasing around 20 knots with gusts up to 30 knots.

A gentle southeast flow is expected to continue through tonight before our next cold front swings through and shifts winds to the northeast and strengthening to a strong to near gale (BF 6-7) Sunday morning. Winds will remain elevated through Sunday night before weakening to a moderate breeze by Monday afternoon. Due to the elevated winds a Small Craft Advisory has been issued for all of the waters through Sunday night. A Gale Watch was issued as well for the Gulf waters out 20-60 NM. Medium (40-70%) rain chances are expected today through Sunday in association with the cold front as it approaches and swings through the region.

Despite the passage of our next cold front, relative humidity levels are expected to remain above 30% with relatively light to moderate winds. Therefore, elevated fire weather conditions are not expected through early next week.
