DISCUSSION

Issued at 129 PM CST Sat Jan 10 2026

Temperatures are running 20-30F lower today than they were this time yesterday thanks to last nights frontal passage. Winds will lose their gustiness overnight, though sustained speeds 5-13mph should linger for a good part of the night. Look for overnight lows to fall into 35-45 degree range for most of the region (lowest inland). Areas up near Houston County may see a brief, light freeze. Plenty of sunshine, low RH's and lighter winds on Sunday with highs topping out in the upper 50s-low 60s.

The southwestern portion of the parent mid-upper trough of last nights front will cut off and retrograde back toward the Baja area. It'll eventually kick out on Monday, track across Texas Tuesday, then become absorbed by a deepening trough to our east on Wednesday. We should see some increased mid-upper level cloudiness as it approaches, and perhaps some virga or a few sprinkles as it gets close...but overall quality llvl moisture return doesn't look favorable for anything of significance. On the backside of this system, we'll see another cold front pass through late Wednesday or Wednesday night. It'll come through dry.

High pressure behind this front will pass off to the east later Thursday. Southerly flow then resumes. Combination of some returning Gulf moisture, and maybe some mid-upper Pacific moisture, might allow for some slightly better chances of rain in advance of another front forecast to move through next Saturday. 47

AVIATION

(12Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 525 AM CST Sat Jan 10 2026

While some scattered low-level clouds will persist this morning, we will see mostly mid and upper level clouds through tomorrow with VFR conditions prevailing. Strong northerly winds are expected today with sustained winds of 15-20kt and gusts to 25-30kt expected. These gusts will continue through around sunset, then winds slowly lower through the remainder of the night with the exception of GLS where gusty winds may linger through Sunday morning.

MARINE

Issued at 129 PM CST Sat Jan 10 2026

Moderate to strong north winds and elevated seas will continue into Sunday morning before gradually diminishing during the day Sunday. This offshore flow has pushed some water out of the bays and mariners should anticipate negative tide levels...especially around low tide cycles through late Sunday morning. Small Craft Advisories and a Low Water Advisory will remain in effect til about noon Sunday. High pressure will move overhead early next week allowing for light winds and continued subsiding seas. The next cold front is expected to push into the waters late Wednesday or Wednesday night. SCAs look probable behind this front too. 47
