KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 510 AM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

- Areas of fog have developed, mainly across the Permian Basin. Take caution on the roads.

- Dry and seasonable weather expected during the middle and latter portions of the week.

- Low rain chances (10-30%) return by the weekend.

SHORT TERM

(Today through Thursday afternoon) Issued at 342 AM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

Satellite imagery and weather observations depict areas of patchy dense fog across portions of the Permian Basin. Based on high- resolution models and satellite trends, fog is expected to expand farther north and west. Therefore, a Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for the entire Permian Basin and far southeast New Mexico until 9 AM MST/10 AM CST. Expect reductions in visibility a 1/4 mile or less. If you encounter dense fog, turn on low-beam headlights and take it slow! Like yesterday, fog is anticipated to dissipate by mid to late morning which will clear the way for another pleasant weather day across the region. Clear skies, light winds, and near- seasonable temperatures (upper 60s to mid 70s for most) are in store as weak upper-level ridging builds in from the west. Tonight, surface high pressure settles over portions of west Texas, supplying drier conditions at the surface. This setup will inhibit fog development for most areas, though guidance does depict patchy fog along the Pecos River in the Lower Trans Pecos, Davis Mountains, and Marfa Plateau. Lows are forecast in the 40s to low 50s for most locations. The aforementioned surface high shifts farther south by Wednesday afternoon ushering in cooler air. As a result, slightly cooler highs in the 60s to low 70s are forecast.

LONG TERM

(Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 342 AM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

Into Thursday night and the day on Friday, mainly dry conditions continue as ridging moves across the area. However, an upper level disturbance looks to move across the region out of northern Mexico and increase rain chances beginning late Friday and into Saturday morning. The best rain chances will first exist out west before spreading to the east during Saturday. This system will be quick moving and rain chances will quickly move to the east by Sunday. Rain amounts will be on the lighter side with most locations receiving just a few hundredths. A second low will move across the Panhandle and send a front through the region that will knock daytime temperatures into the 50s for many early next week. The passage of this front will be dry.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 510 AM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

FG continues at MAF and INK terminals and is expected to persist until 15Z before VIS begins to improve. PEQ and HOB may briefly be impacted by FG later this morning (13-16Z), however, development is very unlikely and was not implemented in the TAF. Otherwise, VFR conditions and light northwesterly to northerly winds are expected throughout the period.
