DISCUSSION

Issued at 1147 PM CST Sat Jan 10 2026

Quiet weather will prevail for the latter part of the weekend with temperatures recovering into the 60s. The trough that contributed to the unsettled weather and frontal boundary from earlier in the weekend will retreat westward over the Baja Peninsula before swinging back east on Monday and tracking through the state Tuesday. As it tracks through Texas it will become embedded a second trough stationed to our east. Given a lack of low-level moisture return post-front, not expecting this trough to produce anything more than cloudy skies and a few sprinkles on its approach. As the trough continues off to the east, a cold front will follow from behind late Wednesday/Wednesday night. This will send daytime highs back into the 50s to low 60s for Thursday.

Highs will rebound into the 60s to low 70s for Friday as southerly flow returns; however, the warm weather will be short-lived as another front approaches in time for the weekend. There may be enough moisture return ahead of this front along with some mid- upper level moisture brought in from the Pacific to contribute to our next chance of rain.

MARINE

Issued at 1147 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. Moderate to strong 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 through 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 will likely be needed behind this front too.
