DISCUSSION

Issued at 1257 PM CST Mon Jan 12 2026

A few patches of light rain will continue to track over the area this afternoon, with more showers coming in overnight in response to an approaching mid-level low and more efficient isentropic lift at the 300K level. The rain is forecast to end during the day on Tuesday as the low drifts eastward, but will push a cold front into the region Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Aside from below normal temperatures, the rest of the week is shaping to remain relatively quiet and dry. Another cold front will swing through the region Friday night into Saturday, but the rain will remain over the marine zones. Thursday morning will see the lowest temperatures of the week, with lows in the upper 30s to mid 40s, and wind chill values in the 30s areawide.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 451 PM CST Mon Jan 12 2026

VFR conditions will prevail through the TAF cycle. A few showers will continue to move across South Texas through tonight, so have included these in the TAF for ALI, LRD, and COT. Showers are still possible for CRP and VCT but with lower confidence, have not included this in the TAF forecast.

MARINE

Issued at 1257 PM CST Mon Jan 12 2026

A gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) breeze will continue through the middle of the week. Winds will increase again to fresh to strong (BF 5-6) Wednesday night into Thursday as another cold front moves across the waters. Winds will diminish to gentle to moderate (BF 3- 4) once again Thursday night. There is a low (15-25%) chance of showers tonight through Tuesday night, 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

Elevated fire weather conditions will be possible today, though moisture will be a little higher, with minimum relative humidity values around 20%, and winds will be light. Cloudy skies and light rain will be possible this afternoon and evening. Even so, ERC values will still be in the 50th-89th percentile so we will be monitoring conditions today in case fire weather conditions do develop.
