Issued at 1124 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026 - A strong cold front pushes through the area on Thursday, bringing much cooler temperatures. Marine winds will strengthen behind the front along with building seas.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1030 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

A weakening upper low over Texas breaks down to an open wave then is absorbed into a rather large upper trof that evolves over the eastern half of the CONUS Wednesday into Thursday. This latter feature will bring a strong cold front through the forecast area mainly from Thursday morning into the early afternoon. A gradual warming trend continues ahead of the approaching front along with improving deep layer moisture, sufficient to allow for isolated to scattered convection to develop over the southern portion of the area on Wednesday. Lows tonight range from the lower 40s well inland to near 50 at the coast then trend by Wednesday night to range from the lower 50s inland to near 60 at the coast. Highs on Tuesday and Wednesday will be in the mid to upper 70s. The cold front ushers in much cooler and drier air, with lows by Friday night ranging from the lower 30s well inland to the lower 40s at the immediate coast. Lows Saturday night will be similar. This continues to look to have the potential to bring the first light freeze of the season to the northern portion of the area Friday night and Saturday night, roughly along and north of Highway 84. NBM probabilities for dropping below 32F are about 20-60% in this portion Friday night and 20-70% Saturday night, with the highest potential generally over northern Choctaw and northern Wilcox counties. Highs on Friday will be mostly in the lower to mid 60s, then highs on Saturday will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Temperatures begin to moderate on Sunday, with highs in the lower to mid 60s along with lows Sunday night ranging from the mid/upper 30s well inland to around 50 at the coast. A low risk of rip currents is expected through Wednesday with a moderate risk for Thursday. A low risk follows for Friday. /29

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1125 PM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

VFR conditions will prevail for the entire period. A batch of upper level clouds are pushing into the area, and accompanies by a few spots of virga evident on radar, though cloud bases should remain well above VFR categories. Otherwise, surface high pressure overspreading the area will lead to tranquil flying conditions with light and variable winds through Tuesday evening.

MARINE

Issued at 1058 AM CST Mon Nov 9 2026

Light northerly to northeasterly winds will continue today through early Tuesday, becoming very light and variable Tuesday afternoon as a high pressure system moves over the Gulf waters. A light northerly flow will resume by late Tuesday night shifting to light westerly Wednesday afternoon. This westerly flow will increase to moderate by late Wednesday night as a strong cold front approaches from the north, followed by a moderate to strong offshore flow Thursday and Friday in the wake of the cold front with gusts up to 30 knots. Waves/seas respond reaching 2-3ft for protected waters, 3-4ft for nearshore Gulf zones and 4-7 ft for outer Gulf zones. Headlines expected as we approach the end of the week. Winds and wave/seas taper going into next weekend. [LIX/Schlotz]
