.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1139 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

Expect a dry, seasonable start to this week. A cold front this
afternoon will lift clouds out of the region, bringing sunny
skies! Behind the front, expect northerly winds and gusts picking
up this evening and overnight to around 20 kts. Low temperatures
Monday morning will be noticeably cooler than todays - about 10
degF cooler, mid 40s in the Ranchlands to low 50s along the coast
and RGV. Dry air behind the front will drastically reduce moisture
(PWATs ~0.5"), leaving very low chances of rain for the coming
week.

Ridging building over the desert southwest will maintain a copacetic
pattern for much of the week with zonal flow aloft. High
temperatures Monday will be noticeably cooler, around 70 across
the board. Tuesday morning will be the chilliest, 40s inland to
around 50 near the coast. Through Thursday, high temperatures
gradually warm into the 80s.

Our focus turns to a cold front expected to pass late this week.
With the drier airmass in place following today`s front, this is
shaping up to be another dry front bringing a welcome cooldown.
There is a large spread in guidance on how much of a cooldown we
can expect, so more details will come as we continue to narrow the
forecast.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1139 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

VFR conditions are expected to prevail for the 18Z TAF cycle.
Satellite imagery this afternoon shows a few cloud stragglers
moving offshore over BRO, with clear skies and light winds at HRL
and MFE. This afternoon/evening, an approaching cold front will
shift winds northerly. Overnight behind the front, northerly wind
strengthens with gusts around 20kts.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1139 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

Conditions begin to deteriorate Sunday afternoon and evening behind
a dry cold front. Strong northerly winds gusting to near gale and
seas building to rough are expected through Monday morning, with
a Small Craft Advisory in place from 6 PM Sunday through 6 PM
Monday. Monday night, favorable conditions return through the week
with gentle to moderate southerly flow, slight seas, and very low
rain chances. Beginning Friday, conditions deteriorate again with
another cold front bringing elevated wind and seas through the
weekend.
