DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1139 AM CST THU DEC 11 2025
THE REINFORCING SURGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND YESTERDAY'S WEAK
FRONT WILL SHIFT EASTWARD THIS EVENING, ALLOWING FOR LOW-LEVEL
WINDS TO TURN ONSHORE. THIS WILL INITIATE WWA AND CAUSE
TEMPERATURES TO BEGIN A STEADY CLIMB THROUGH THE WEEKEND. EXPECT
HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S AND LOWS IN THE 50S TO LOW 60S.
MOISTURE WILL GENERALLY REMAIN LIMITED THROUGH THE END OF THE
WORK WEEK, RESULTING IN VERY LOW RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE REGION.
HOWEVER, THE RETURN OF SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL SUPPORT A
GRADUAL INCREASE IN BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE BEGINNING TONIGHT.
THIS WILL INTRODUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR FOG DURING THE OVERNIGHT
AND EARLY MORNING HOURS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. IF LIGHT WINDS AND
RELATIVELY COOL SHELF WATERS PERSIST, SEA FOG WILL ALSO BE A
STRONG POSSIBILITY OVER THE BAYS AND NEARSHORE WATERS. THIS IS
PARTICULARLY THE CASE FOR SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY WHEN
MOISTURE POOLING AND WEAKER WINDS AHEAD OF OUR NEXT COLD FRONT
FAVOR MORE WIDESPREAD FORMATION.
SPEAKING OF OUR NEXT COLD FRONT, CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO IMPROVE
REGARDING ITS TIMING FOR SUNDAY AND ITS STRENGTH, WITH
TEMPERATURES TRENDING BELOW AVERAGE FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
INCREASING MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR LOW TO
MEDIUM (20-60%) RAIN CHANCES TO RETURN SUNDAY ALONG THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE.
ONSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO REESTABLISH ITSELF EARLY NEXT WEEK,
AS THE SURFACE HIGH BEHIND THE FRONT PROPAGATES EAST, LEADING ONCE
AGAIN TO AN INCREASE IN TEMPERATURES AND MOISTURE ADVECTION AS
WELL AS LOW RAIN CHANCES (~20%) ALONG THE COAST BY TUESDAY.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1126 AM CST THU DEC 11 2025
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. BEGINNING
AROUND 05-07Z, AREAS OF FOG WILL START TO SET IN ACROSS OUR
EASTERN SITES, WITH MANY MODELS SIGNALING IT SPREADING FARTHER
INLAND TO OUR WESTERN SITES BY 09-10Z. IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS WILL BE
LIKELY AT TIMES, WITH VSBYS DROPPING TO 1SM OR LESS THROUGH MID-
MORNING ON FRIDAY. BY THEN, ANY FOG THAT DEVELOPS SHOULD BEGIN TO
DISSIPATE. MVFR CIGS MAY LINGER THROUGH LATE MORNING INTO THE
EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE IMPROVING TO VFR LEVELS THROUGH FRIDAY
EVENING.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 1139 AM CST THU DEC 11 2025
GENTLE TO MODERATE NORTHEASTERLY WINDS (BF 3-4) WILL SHIFT TO THE
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. WITH
ONSHORE FLOW RESULTING IN ELEVATED MOISTURE, SEA FOG POTENTIAL
INCREASES AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND WITH THE BEST CHANCES OF FOG
BEING DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND MORNING HOURS. RAIN CHANCES REMAIN
NEXT TO NONE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WORKWEEK BEFORE A LOW
TO MEDIUM CHANCE (20-60%) OF RAIN RETURNS THIS WEEKEND AHEAD OF
OUR NEXT FRONTAL PASSAGE. IN THE WAKE OF OUR NEXT FRONT ON SUNDAY,
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST AND STRENGTHEN TO BECOME FRESH
TO STRONG (BF 5-6). THIS WIND SETUP WILL PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING BEFORE SETTLING BACK DOWN TO GENTLE TO MODERATE LEVELS (BF
3-4) AND ONCE AGAIN SHIFTING INTO AN ONSHORE FLOW PATTERN.
FIRE WEATHER
ISSUED AT 1139 AM CST THU DEC 11 2025
MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL REMAIN ABOVE 30% THROUGH
NEXT WEEK. SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL BE WEAK THROUGH MUCH OF THIS
WEEKEND BEFORE OUR NEXT FRONTAL PASSAGE ON SUNDAY RESULTS IN
ELEVATED NORTH-NORTHEASTERLY WINDS OF 10-15 MPH AND GUSTS UP TO
25-30 MPH. HOWEVER, WITH INCREASED MOISTURE FROM OUR
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS, LOW TO MEDIUM CHANCES FOR RAIN AHEAD OF THE
FRONT, AND ERCS GENERALLY REMAINING IN THE 25-50TH PERCENTILE,
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS REMAIN NEGLIGIBLE AT THIS TIME.
