Issued at 1130pm CST Fri Dec 26 2025

Now through Friday... Currently, winds along and south of the coast have risen higher than expected, but are expected to settle after 06z/midnight, allowing sea fog to develop tonight. Inland, winds have already become light, with visibilities starting to drop.

Saturday on, an upper level trough stretching north over the Southern Plains and Southeast hangs tough into the weekend, then begins to shift south as an upper level shortwave trough moves around the base of an closed upper low over the Great Lakes. A cold front moves south over the Southeast Sunday night into Monday. Ahead of the frontal passage, south to southwesterly low level flow in the upper 60s to low 70s off the Gulf over coastal waters in the upper 50s to low 60s will allow for sea fog and stratus development each night, moving inland as the night progresses. There is some variation on how far and how fast, depending upon boundary layer winds and for more inland areas, clear skies and light, but not calm winds. At this point, feel there will be Dense Fog Advisories for at least the southern half of the forecast area each night into the weekend. The passing cold front Monday will usher in a colder and drier airmass, with a significant temperature drop and the possibility of a Cold Weather Advisory being needed for the beginning of the coming week. Instability will be limited with the passing front, along with limited upper support, so am not expecting any rowdy storms Monday at this time.

Looking closer to temperatures, mid to upper 70s are expected through Sunday. Behind the front, high temperatures drop into the mid 40s to around 50 for Tuesday. From there, they slowly warm into the mid to upper 50s by Thursday. Low temperatures in the mid 50s to around 60 are expected Friday and Saturday nights, then drop into mid 20s north of Highway 84 to low to mid 30s along and south of I- 10 Monday and Tuesday nights. From there, low temperatures climb into the upper 20s along the northern border of the forecast area to mid/upper 30s south of I-10 Wednesday night.

A light onshore flow will limit the Rip Risk to Low through the weekend. Ahead of the coming front, an increase in winds ahead of the front may bring a Moderate Risk for Monday. Behind the front, the strong offshore flow will drop the Rip Risk back to Low into mid week. /16

Issued at 1130pm CST Fri Dec 26 2025

Light onshore flow over cool waters will create dense sea fog over protected and near shore open Gulf waters each night, possibly persisting well into mid day each day. A cold front passing over area waters Monday will bring a strong offshore flow, with a Small Craft Advisory likely to be needed later Monday into mid week. /16
