DISCUSSION

Issued at 1206 AM CST Tue Jan 13 2026

Low to medium (20-50%) chances of rain will continue through this afternoon as a mid-level low moves west to east. As the low moves off to the east late this afternoon into tonight, a cold front will bring drier air back to South Texas. The dry air will persist Wednesday through the end of the work week. Morning lows will be chilly Thursday and Friday with wind chills in the mid to upper 30s expected. Otherwise, generally quiet weather is expected with some sunshine finally returning by the middle of the week. Another cold front will swing through Friday night into Saturday. Most locations will stay dry with this upcoming front, though some showers are possible across the waters and maybe along the immediate coast.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 449 AM CST Tue Jan 13 2026

VFR conditions can be expected through the course of the period under mostly cloudy skies. Some periods showers will exist through this morning through the early afternoon hours at most sites (ALI,LRD,COT,VCT). Confidence remained low therefore the no mention of showers at CRP remained during this cycle.

MARINE

Issued at 1206 AM CST Tue Jan 13 2026

A gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) breeze will continue through Wednesday. Winds will increase again to fresh to strong (BF 5-6) Wednesday night into Thursday as another cold front moves across the waters, leading to Small Craft Advisory conditions. Winds will diminish to gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) once again Thursday night. There is a low (15-20%) chance of showers through this afternoon, with another low (less than 20%) chance Saturday as another front approaches the waters.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 1257 PM CST Mon Jan 12 2026

Fire weather conditions are not expected today as relative humidity values remain above 40%. A front will usher in drier air (minimum relative humidity values less than 30%) for Wednesday through the end of the week which, when combined with ERC values in the 50th to 74th percentile, could lead to elevated fire weather conditions through the end of the work week. Light winds will keep us below thresholds for critical fire weather concerns.
