KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1140 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025

- Gradual warm-up through the weekend ahead of the next cold front on Sunday

- Dense fog expected tonight into tomorrow morning

- Low to medium chance for rain this weekend ahead of Sunday cold front

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1159 PM CST Thu Dec 11 2025

Above normal temperatures will return Friday and continue through Saturday before our next front sweeps across the region late Saturday night into Sunday morning. Near to below normal temperatures are expected Sunday through early next week before another warming trend returns mid-week. Due to limited moisture, rain chances for the rest of this work week and beginning of the weekend will be near zero. However, moisture will increase ahead of the front with low to medium (20-50%) rain chances returning Sunday. While moisture levels overall will be on the low end, an increase in surface moisture due to the return of onshore flow will support fog development during the overnight and early morning hours beginning tonight. This includes sea fog as well if light winds and cooler shelf waters persist.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1140 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025

A mix of MVFR/VFR conditions is currently present but should briefly lift to prevailing VFR through midnight or so, after which time another round of fog with low CIGs is expected. There is still a bit of uncertainty as to how widespread and dense the fog will be as models are showing shorter duration and areal coverage. Have continued to go with TEMPO groups showing LIFR/IFR conditions for early Saturday morning at all sites. There is a low (~20%) chance of showers along the coast early Saturday morning. Light south-southeasterly winds can be expected today, becoming variable overnight.

MARINE

Issued at 1159 PM CST Thu Dec 11 2025

Gentle southeast flow is expected Friday through Saturday before shifting to the northeast Saturday night and strengthening to a fresh to strong breeze. Wind will remain elevated before weakening back to a moderate breeze Monday afternoon. Low to medium (30-55%) rain chances will return Friday night and hang around through Sunday after the frontal passage.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 1159 PM CST Thu Dec 11 2025

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.
