| Area Forecast Discussion ...CORRECTED National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 1255am CST Sunday Nov 9 2025 Issued at 1248am CST Sunday Nov 9 2025 The aforementioned cold front is expected to sweep through the region this morning, clearing the coast by midmorning (12-15Z). This is expected to bring a much needed cool down across the region dropping highs today to 70s and 60s Monday. The coldest temperatures can be expected Monday night into Tuesday mornings with mostly upper 30s to lower 40s expected across South Texas. The drier conditions and subsiding winds will allow the region to efficiently radiationally cool and could lead to some lower temperatures. There is a low chance showers and thunderstorms along the front in the Gulf waters as it clears the coast. In addition to the added cold temperatures, higher winds and drier conditions can be expected beginning in the wake of the front. This is expected to combine with critically dry fuels and lead to critical fire weather conditions across the region. Winds are expected to be in excess of 20 to 30 MPH with gusts up to 45 MPH as relative humidity values plummet around 15-30%. A Red Flag Warning is in effect from 9am to 9pm for critical fire weather conditions. Elevated fire weather conditions are expected to linger through midweek, as inefficient moisture recovery will lead to persisting low relative humidity values. A Wind Advisory was issued as well this morning as winds are expected to remain elevated through the day beginning around 4am through 6pm this evening. Lastly, the other hazard expected will be marine conditions with Small Craft Advisory for the bays and Gale Conditions in the Gulf waters. A Gale Warning has been issued from 8am this morning through 8am Monday morning. This will likely be transitioned to a Small Craft Advisory until winds subside. Winds are expected to subside by Monday evening. Marine Issued at 1248am CST Sunday Nov 9 2025 Light to gentle (BF 2-3) south to southwesterly flow will continue tonight, before a strong cold front moves through between 5-9am Sunday morning, bringing only a low (20-30%) chance of showers and thunderstorms. Small Craft Advisory conditions will likely follow in the wake over the bays with mainly a strong breeze (BF 6), whereas strong to near- Gale to Gale force (BF 7-8) develops over the open waters. The stronger winds over the open waters warrants a Gale Warning through Monday morning due sustained winds around Gale with frequent Gale- force gusts and building seas over 10 feet. Conditions are expected to improve by Monday evening, with winds below 20 knots and seas subsiding below 7 feet. Gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) onshore flow returns Tuesday, strengthening to a south to southeasterly fresh to strong breeze (BF 5-6) Tuesday night through Wednesday night. Moderate to fresh breeze will follow to close out the work week. Fire Weather Issued at 1248am CST Sunday Nov 9 2025 A strong cold front will push across South Texas north to south this morning, between 08-14Z, causing critical fire weather conditions in its wake through Sunday evening. North to northeasterly sustained winds of 20-30 mph with gusts of 35-40 mph and relative humidity dropping to 15-30 percent, will cause a significant fire weather threat. Although winds decrease heading into the work week, minimum relative humidity values will continue to be very low, dropping into the teens (Mon) and 20s (Tue-Wed), keeping at least elevated fire weather conditions intact through the middle of the week each afternoon. In addition, Energy Release Component (ERC) values are extremely high, ranging from the 80-95th percentile. Today will be the greatest threat for fire weather, with notable elevated conditions following into the midweek. Conditions improve below elevated fire weather criteria by Thursday.
