WINDY CONDITIONS WILL FINALLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING WEAK FRONT THAT WILL ARRIVE TOMORROW. TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO CLIMB TO NEAR RECORD TERRITORY FOR MUCH SOUTH TEXAS THIS
AFTERNOON WITH TRIPLE DIGITS POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF BRUSH
COUNTRY AND 80S AND 90S WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE COASTAL BEND.
A WEAK FRONT MOVES THROUGH DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH A WIND
SHIFT TO THE NORTH/NORTHEAST. WINDS WILL BE AROUND 10 TO 15 MPH OUT
WEST AND WEAKER ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAINS. SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY ALONG THE COAST WITH THE FRONT NOT ARRIVING
UNTIL LATER TONIGHT. NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED AND TEMPERATURES
WILL BE ABOUT 10 DEGREES COOLER ON FRIDAY. SOME FOG MAY DEVELOP WITH
THE LIGHT WINDS ALONG THE COASTAL BEND LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY
MORNING, THOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THE COVERAGE IS NOT TOO HIGH.
SOUTHEAST FLOW RETURNS THIS WEEKEND AND CONTINUES INTO NEXT WEEK
WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1124 PM CST WED FEB 25 2026
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TONIGHT WITH WEAKENING WINDS. HAVE
TEMPO GROUPS FOR CRP AND ALI FOR A BRIEF PERIOD TOWARD MORNING
WHEN WINDS HAVE WEAKENED ENOUGH THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR MVFR
CIG/VIS CONDITIONS. VFR CONDITIONS WOULD RETURN BY MID-DAY.
TOMORROW NIGHT WILL WATCH FOR A BETTER POTENTIAL FOR FOG/LOWER
CIGS BUT AFTER THE END OF THIS TAF PERIOD.
MARINE

WINDS TODAY WILL RELAX TO MODERATE TO A FRESH BREEZE (BF 4-5) AND TO
A GENTLE (BF 3) BREEZE TONIGHT. THE SEAS WILL SUBSIDE THROUGH THE

AROUND NOON. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE MINIMAL (UNDER 15%) THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK.
FIRE WEATHER
ISSUED AT 1124 PM CST WED FEB 25 2026
NEAR RECORD WARM TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL RESULT IN RH VALUES
DROPPING TO AROUND 12-20% OUT WEST, THOUGH WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE
BELOW 15 MPH, EVEN BEHIND A WEAK FRONTAL PASSAGE THAT WILL TURN
WINDS TO THE NORTH AND THEN NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON. FUELS REMAIN
CURED AND SO ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED, THOUGH
WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING AN RFD AT THIS TIME. MINIMUM RH'S WILL
LARGELY BE IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOW 30S THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
