KEY MESSAGES

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

- Marine fog chances increase next week

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1203 AM CST Sun Feb 8 2026

With our current south to southeast winds, we have begun to see dewpoints rise across the region. This warmer more moist airmass is expected to interact with the cooler sea surface temperatures and increase our marine fog risk Sunday into next week. Apart from the threat of fog, well above normal temperatures (5-15 degrees above normal) are expected to continue through next week. As for precipitation, dry conditions are expected throughout this forecast package except for Monday night through Tuesday and Tuesday night. A short wave disturbance is expected to trek across the region increasing our rain chances. Models have backed off the rain chances significantly with the best chances being well to the north. The best chances for rain will be across the Victoria Crossroads with a low 15% chance Tuesday night.

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1203 AM CST Sun Feb 8 2026

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

MARINE

Issued at 1203 AM CST Sun Feb 8 2026

A gentle (BF 3) to occasional moderate breeze (BF 4) can be expected through next week. As a more moist airmass moves into the region, the threat for marine fog over the bays and nearshore waters will increase beginning Sunday. Dry conditions are expected throughout this forecast package except for Tuesday and Tuesday night, where low (10-20%) rain chances are expected as a disturbance moves across the region.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 1203 AM CST Sun Feb 8 2026

Minimum relative humidity values (RH) will improve from the teens to 35% range Saturday to the 30-60% range Sunday. While RH values could briefly reach the 30% mark across the Brush Country next week, they are expected to remain above critical values through next week. Apart from the higher minimum RH values, Energy Release Component values are expected to drop below the 75th percentile with winds being relatively light. Therefore, elevated fire weather conditions are not expected.
