KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 515 AM CST Tue Nov 10 2026

- 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 Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 305 AM CST Tue Nov 10 2026

Satellite imagery and weather observations depict areas of patchy dense fog across portions of the Permian Basin, southeast New Mexico, Upper Trans Pecos, Marfa Plateau, and Davis Mountains. Therefore, a Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for these areas 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! By 10-11 AM CST, fog is anticipated to dissipate which will clear the way for a pleasant weather day across the region. Clear skies, light winds, and warmer temperatures (60s to low 70s for most) are in store as the upper low gradually moves farther east. Tonight, leftover surface moisture and light winds may induce additional patchy fog development mainly across the eastern half of the region. Low clouds may inhibit fog development across these areas, therefore, much less coverage of fog is expected. Weak upper- level ridging begins to build in from the Desert Southwest by Wednesday. As a result, warmer and dry conditions persists with highs forecast in the upper 60s to mid 70s regionwide.

LONG TERM

(Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 305 AM CST Tue Nov 10 2026

Light winds and mainly clear skies take hold Wednesday night and allow temperatures to drop an extra few degrees into the 40s to low 50s. Daytime highs on Thursday and Friday sit near normal around 70F for most locations. By late Friday, the next system moves into the region and increases rain chances from west to east into the day on Saturday. Medium to long range guidance continues to show an upper level disturbance crossing northern Mexico and into southwest Texas on Saturday. Highest rain chances continue to be south of the I-10 corridor. Areas to the north having markedly lower rain chances(10- 30% compared to 40-60%), but shifts in the track of this low will affect which areas see the best chances and highest amounts of rain. Beyond Saturday, the upper low moves out of the area and the forecast shifts drier with seasonable temperatures in the 60 and 70s during the day with 40s and 50s at night.
