KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1147 PM CST Sun Feb 8 2026

- Fog is expected to tonight with a medium chance of locally dense fog

- Marine fog chances increase Monday evening

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1147 PM CST Sun Feb 8 2026

The main story of the forecast will be fog, both over land and water. Terrestrial fog is expected to develop once again tonight with patchy dense fog possible. Increased cloud cover and a bit stronger wind tonight compared to last night will be the limiting factors in the development of widespread dense fog. By tomorrow, dew points are expected to increase a bit more into the mid 60s with slightly stronger winds becoming more southeasterly. Those changes in both dewpoints and winds will be conducive to promote dense marine fog, mainly across the bays and nearshore waters north of Port Aransas.

Taking a look at the rest of the forecast, above normal temperatures (5-15 degrees above normal) are expected to continue through this week. As for precipitation, dry conditions are expected throughout this forecast package except for possibly this weekend. The rain chances for Tuesday and Tuesday night have significantly decreased as models continue to show the best chances for rain north of the area. A weak front this weekend will be the driving force for the rain chances this weekend. However, with this feature still being 7 days out, much can change from now to then. Temperatures behind the front are not expected to drop much at all.

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1147 PM CST Sun Feb 8 2026

VFR conditions will prevail through around 08-09Z this morning across eastern terminals, before deteriorating to IFR/LIFR levels as patchy to areas of fog redevelop. Conditions are forecast to improve around mid morning as the fog erodes with a return to VFR. Across the western sites, VFR conditions will prevail through the cycle. Winds will be light out of the south overnight, increasing above 12 knots over eastern terminals Monday afternoon. Winds will become light again Monday evening.

MARINE

Issued at 1147 PM CST Sun Feb 8 2026

A gentle (BF 3) to occasional moderate breeze (BF 4) can be expected through this week. As winds become more southeasterly tomorrow, the threat for marine fog will increase Monday evening and continue through the overnight hours, especially for the bays and nearshore waters north of Port Aransas. Dry conditions are expected this week with rain chances returning this weekend with the passage of our next cold front.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 1147 PM CST Sun Feb 8 2026

Minimum relative humidity values (RH) will remain above critical values (30%) this weak through Friday. As we head into next weekend, elevated fire weather could return as RH values are forecast to drop below 30% with moderate to strong winds and moderate to high Energy Release Component values. However, with this cold front still being 7 days out, much can change from now to then. Until then, elevated fire weather conditions are not expected.
