DISCUSSION

Issued at 1033 PM CST Sun Nov 8 2026

An upper low centered near southwest Texas has been sending abundant cirriform cloudiness downstream across much of the forecast area. A Frost Advisory remains in effect from 2 am until 8 am Monday for the northern portion of the forecast area, although it's possible that this upper level cloudiness may make it difficult for temperatures to get cold enough for frost to develop. It's not yet clear from the current temperature trends how this will play out, so have opted to leave the advisory as is for now and let the next shift reassess. The upper low shears out Monday into Tuesday followed by a rather large and deep upper trof developing over the eastern half of the CONUS which brings a strong cold front through the forecast area on Thursday. Temperatures moderate ahead of the approaching front, with highs trending to the mid to upper 70s for Tuesday and Wednesday, and overnight lows trending to the 50s by Wednesday night. The cold front ushers in much cooler air with lows by Friday night and Saturday night ranging from the lower 30s well inland to the lower 40s at the immediate coast. This could bring a light freeze to roughly Highway 84 northward both Friday night and Saturday night. Dry conditions are expected through the period as deep layer moisture remains too limited to support precipitation. A low risk of rip currents is expected through Thursday, except for a moderate risk returning to the western Florida panhandle beaches on Thursday. /29
