ISSUED AT 1215 PM CDT SAT NOV 1 2025
THE ADVANCE OF A SURFACE COLD FRONT DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
HOURS WILL RESULT IN RAIN CHANCES IN THE RANGE OF LOW TO MEDIUM (20%-
60%). SPC DOES HAVE MOST OF THE NEAR AND EAST OF US-281/I-69C IN A
MARGINAL RISK (LEVEL 1 OF 4) FOR SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT. SPC HAS
RECENTLY UPGRADED PARTS OF EASTERN KENEDY COUNTY INTO A SLIGHT RISK
(2 OF 4) FOR SEVERE WEATHER. WHILE THERE STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH
THE AREA FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVERLAND.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL SETUP WITH COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT AND STRONG
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW AND DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL PROVIDE SOME SUPPORT
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WHILE THE TIMING
FOR THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS STILL EXPECTED TO BE
PRIMARILY OVERNIGHT, THERE IS STILL A CHANCE THAT THE FRONT AND THE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH IT COULD COME SOONER IN
THE EVENING. HOWEVER, BY TOMORROW MORNING THE RAIN CHANCES ARE
EXPECTED TO DIMINISH.
AFTER THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY, THE TEMPERATURES THROUGH WEDNESDAY WILL BE IN THE 80S WITH
EACH DAY THE HIGH TEMPERATURES FURTHERING TO INCREASE. BY WEDNESDAY,
THE 90S WILL RETURN TO THE AREA, AND FURTHER SPREAD OVER THE REGION
BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
FINALLY, WHILE A LOW RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IS IN PRESENT AT THE LOCAL
BEACHES TODAY. HIGHER WAVES AND SWELL IS EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT
THAT WILL INCREASE THE RIP CURRENT RISK TO MODERATE THROUGH
MONDAY.

WHILE VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD.
HOWEVER WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING THROUGH THE REGION DURING

NOT RULE OUT MFE. SOME HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE THAT COULD
REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO IFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES.

PRODUCE LOCALLY ELEVATED WINDS AND SEAS. BEHIND THE FRONT, SMALL
