KEY MESSAGES

- A stronger, reinforcing front pushes through the area late tonight. It will bring a much cooler and drier conditions through the holiday.

- Onshore winds return Friday, along with warmer and more humid air to prepare the area for our next shot of rain and storms over the weekend.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1123 PM CST Tue Nov 25 2025

A reinforcing cold front will push through SE Texas tonight, bringing a cooler and drier airmass along with it. Winds will become gusty in the wake of the front and highs will struggle to get out of the 60s for most of the area (which, despite being a cold front, brings our highs down to around the seasonal normal).

Clear skies during the nighttime hours will enhance radiational cooling and bring lows down into the 40s for most of the area. A few northern counties may dip into the mid to upper 30s. Wednesday night and Thursday night.

Onshore winds are set to return on Friday, allowing temperatures and moisture to rebound. How much moisture is able to recover will set the stage for this weekend as another cold front is set to arrive. As mentioned by the previous forecaster, the return of onshore flow on Friday does not leave a lot of time for moisture to rebound ahead of the next system...so while we may get some showers and storms, not expecting them to be too productive.

Cold temperatures may be on the horizon to start off December, following this weekend's front. Monday and Tuesday's highs look to struggle to get out of the 50s as NW winds usher in more cold and dry air. With this being later in the forecast period, FROPA timing and temperatures are subject to change, but warrants keeping an eye on for potential freezing temperatures.
