DISCUSSION

Issued at 1203 AM CST Wed Dec 31 2025

Near freezing temperatures expected across the northern Brush Country and Victoria Crossroads early Wednesday morning. A few low lying drainage areas may briefly drop to freezing, but freezing temperatures are not expected to be widespread nor last more than a couple of hours. However, if temps are a couple of degrees colder than expected, then a Freeze Warning may be needed. Will continue to monitor trends with possible updates.

A gradual warming trend can be expected with highs in the mid 80s by Friday. Models forecast a weak cold front to move through S TX Saturday, but not much of a cool down. Highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s are forecast Saturday through Tuesday. Lows in the 40s are expected Wednesday night then 50s and above the remainder of the period.

Light and variable winds Wednesday will become southerly by Wednesday night but remain generally 5-15 mph through the period. The onshore winds will usher higher dewpoints into S TX leading to areas of fog across S TX and sea fog across the bays and nearshore waters by the end of the work week.

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1203 AM CST Wed Dec 31 2025

VFR conditions will prevail throughout the TAF period. Winds will be light and variable generally between 0-5 KT tonight, increasing to around 5-8 knots Wednesday afternoon.

MARINE

Issued at 1203 AM CST Wed Dec 31 2025

Gentle (BF 3) breeze with a variable direction Wednesday morning, will shift onshore by the afternoon. A moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) breeze is expected to develop by Thursday night, then weaken by Friday night ahead of a weak cold front. Behind the front on Saturday, a gentle offshore flow is expected, then quickly becomes onshore by Saturday night. Periods of sea fog will be possible later in the week.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 1203 AM CST Wed Dec 31 2025

Wednesday will be dry again with RH values falling into the teens across inland portions of South Texas. Although winds will be light on Wednesday, ERC values in the 50-89th percentile could result in Elevated Fire weather conditions once again. Otherwise, expect warmer and slightly more humid conditions to return late week before a weak front moves through South Texas Saturday. This will lower minimum RH values below 30% once again across inland portions of South Texas.
