DISCUSSION

Issued at 130 PM CDT Wed Oct 28 2026

We will continue to see some isolated to scattered shower activity with the low possibility for a thunderstorm or two. Thursday, we will likely see an influx of activity with the remnants of Tropical Storm Vance from the Pacific bringing deep moisture and left over vorticity into the region. This will lead to low to medium rain chances in the Brush Country and Rio Grande Plains. The Weather Prediction Center has maintained portions of the Brush Country in a Marginal Risk (1 of 4) and a Slight Risk that extends into the northwestern portions of the CWA. Expect locally heavy rainfall the primary threat thanks to an efficient moisture profile which could lead to some isolated flooding or ponding on low lying areas/roads. We will dry out by Friday and conditions will persist through the weekend until our next front. Our next cold front is expected to swing through early next week in association with a potent low that will progress through the southern Great Plains. There is still some disagreements on a few things such as timing and the extent of the associated front south. Though as it sits this will likely be our next chance for some activity. Be sure check back for future updates.

Will have to continue to monitor the possibility for minor coastal flooding along Gulf facing beaches into the weekend. This will be due to persistent onshore flow and elevated swell periods. An increased risk of rip currents will also persist.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 130 PM CDT Wed Oct 28 2026

Currently VFR conditions will continue to prevail through the beginning of the period. As low level moisture increases in the west we will see CIGs and VSBYs to MVFR conditions specifically at COT,LRD, and potentially ALI. Will also expect to see showers in and around those terminals tomorrow morning. Otherwise, VFR conditions will be expected elsewhere with relatively light winds.

MARINE

Issued at 130 PM CDT Wed Oct 28 2026

Gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) east to southeasterly flow will persist through the remainder of the week, with seas generally 3 to 5 feet. Medium to high rain chances are expected through the remainder of today, with lower chances Thursday and Friday. Locally higher winds and seas will be possible near thunderstorms.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 130 PM CDT Wed Oct 28 2026

Thanks to the presence of abundant low-level moisture and winds generally below 20 knots, fire weather concerns will be limited through the forecast period. Showers and thunderstorms through the work week will continue to limit fire weather concerns.
