Updated at 1229 PM CDT Fri Oct 17 2025 - Scattered showers and storms in the Victoria Crossroads and Northern Coastal Bend through the rest of the afternoon. - Above normal temperatures continue. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1229 PM CDT Fri Oct 17 2025 Most of the isolated showers have remainder across the eastern half of the CWA and generally have survived mostly throughout the coastal zones. A drop here and there is the best we can do for rainfall through tonight. Turning to the cold front... Still not especially excited about it, though guidance is a little more optimistic on getting a wind shift and lower dewpoints into much of the region. Overall thinking has not changed though. Expect a decrease in dewpoints during the day Sunday and into Sunday night especially for inland areas as much drier air aloft sets in and is able to mix to the surface. Daytime temperatures, however, will not see an improvement. Lows Sunday night will drop closer to normal levels though, and currently have upper 50s in the Victoria area. Southeasterly flow will bring back the moisture quickly on Sunday to bring us back to above normal temps and humidity. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1229 PM CDT Fri Oct 17 2025 Expect mostly VFR conditions with isolated showers through the rest of the afternoon. No reductions in visibility are expected. Saturday morning, patchy fog will lead to brief MVFR conditions. Southerly winds pick back up to 10-15 kts by Saturday afternoon. && .MARINE... Issued at 1229 PM CDT Fri Oct 17 2025 Onshore flow will generally be gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) through Saturday night. A frontal boundary nearing the coast on Sunday will allow for a brief opportunity for winds to be more out of the northeast on Sunday at moderate strength. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon, mainly north of Port Aransas. Only isolated showers are expected from Saturday through the end of the period. Onshore flow returns early next week. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 1229 PM CDT Fri Oct 17 2025 Minimum RH values remain above 35% through Saturday with mainly light winds. A weak front on Sunday will bring lower RH values for inland areas (as low as 20-30%), but winds will remain generally weak, precluding any increased fire concern. Showers and storms are possible Friday in the Victoria Crossroads and northern Coastal Bend, but the remainder of the area will be dry. Beyond Friday, rain chances are below 20% through the weekend and into next week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
