KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 539 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

- Returning rain chances (20-40%) during late next weekend and the following Monday as temperatures remain seasonably cool to mild.

SHORT TERM

(Tonight through Tuesday night) Issued at 136 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

Threats for heavy rain and flooding continue over almost all areas through this evening. The highest impact areas are the higher terrain portions of the western Hill Country and southern Edwards Plateau, where larger creek and river channels are filling up with over 3 inches of rain area-wide and a few locations near 6 inches. Traveling in the rain and dark this evening could be a little sketchy over road that have low water crossings, but US and state highways are generally fine.

HRRR and RRFS taper rain chances down late this evening and the RRFS stays dry while the HRRR solutions continue with some rain activity for daytime Tuesday, but mainly just the Coastal Prairies. Assuming the drier solutions of the RRFS come into play, there should be some considerable fog to deal with for Tuesday morning.

LONG TERM

(Wednesday through next Monday) Issued at 136 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

Shortwave ridging reaches TX to make for a fine day of fair weather skies developing by Wednesday afternoon. The warmest day of the week will be a short warm pattern, because by Wednesday evening, another cold front arrives after polar troughing sharpens up over the eastern CONUS. Cool and generally dry conditions will follow the front through Friday night. Then for daytime Saturday, a zonal pattern overhead brings the next shortwave trough and enough Pacific moisture to bring more good rain chances to South TX.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 539 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

There are still some isolated rain showers across the region and there may be occasional light rain at the airports for the next few hours. AUS is currently VFR, the San Antonio terminals are MVFR, and DRT is IFR. Ceilings will settle at IFR overnight and fog will develop reducing visibility. Conditions will only slowly improve through the morning and afternoon Tuesday.
