SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Friday night) Issued at 524 PM CST Wed Nov 19 2025
Benign forecast will prevail until later Thursday when rain chances start filtering in ahead of an approaching frontal system. Increasing cloud cover will help to limit fog development Thursday morning, however with an increase in overall moisture entrainment, a dense fog advisory has been issued for areas along and south of I-10.
Rain chances should largely increase into Friday morning. Although chances will be increasing, expected rainfall totals will be rather low, around 0.50 inches.
LONG TERM
(Saturday through next Tuesday) Issued at 524 PM CST Wed Nov 19 2025
The front hangs up in the region as upper low ejects off to the north and east US keeping rainfall in the forecast through Tuesday. On Tuesday, deeply amplified trof is expected to swing across the central US bringing in a much cooler airmass.
