KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 525 PM CST Fri Feb 27 2026

- Overnight/early morning fog at times through next week.

- Elevated Fire Weather conditions possible at times into next week, mainly across the Rio Grande Plains.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 109 PM CST Fri Feb 27 2026

Above normal temperatures and dry conditions will continue through next week as mid to upper level high pressure builds over the area. Onshore flow resumes by this evening with the flow shifting to the southeast allowing for surface moisture return. The combination of enough low-level moisture, dry mid-levels, and light winds will likely result in fog development tonight, mainly over portions of the Coastal Plains and Victoria Crossroads. Fog probabilities for tonight into early Saturday have increased to around 40-70% with even higher probabilities for ceilings below 3kft. Will need to continue to monitor the situation in case Dense Fog Advisories are required later today. Foggy conditions will persist nightly through early next week.

Around mid next week the flow aloft will shift to the southwest allowing for a few weaknesses to move through the area ahead of a closed low entering the Central Plains. Although models have been trending wetter with the latest runs, with most of the energy staying north of the area rainfall probabilities have remained less than 30% through late next week.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 525 PM CST Fri Feb 27 2026

Satellite currently showing a deck of low clouds and fog moving inland. Based on current speed, IF it doesn't slow down, could reach CRP in one to two hours, bringing IFR/LIFR conditions to the airport. IFR/LIFR conditions are expected through the night for ALI, CRP and VCT with conditions improving by mid morning Saturday.

MARINE

Issued at 109 PM CST Fri Feb 27 2026

A light to gentle (BF 2-3) easterly breeze will continue through tonight. A moderate (BF 4) southeast breeze will develop on Saturday and continue into early next week. Rain chances will be low (5-20%) through early next week.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 109 PM CST Fri Feb 27 2026

Onshore flow returns this afternoon leading to an increase in humidity. However, fuels remain cured, thus elevated fire weather conditions are possible at times through the weekend into next week, mainly across the Rio Grande Plains where minimum RH values will be in the upper 20s to lower 30s. Winds are expected to remain below thresholds, but may strengthen by the middle of next week.
