SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1152 AM CST SUN NOV 9 2025
LOW END WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE OCCURRING AS OF THE LATE
MORNING AND MIDDAY. UPSTREAM WINDS IN CENTRAL TX MIGHT SUGGEST THE
STRONGER WINDS TO SHIFT FOCUS SOUTHWARD AND RELAX A BIT, LEADING
TO A POSSIBLE EARLY CANCELLATION OF THE WIND ADVISORY IN A FEW
HOURS. THE WINDS WILL REMAIN PLENTY STRONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT THE
RED FLAG WARNING. THE NEXT FOCUS IS FOR TONIGHT'S LOW TEMPERATURES
AND THE WIND INDICATIONS OVER THE I-35 CORRIDOR WOULD SUGGEST NOT
ENOUGH DECOUPLING TO ALLOW FOR THE FIRST FREEZE IN THOSE AREAS.
THE FIRST FREEZE AND FREEZE WARNING PRODUCT WENT OUT FOR THE HILL
COUNTRY AND EDWARDS PLATEAU WHERE BETTER DECOUPLING OF WIND AND
LOWER DEW POINT TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY. DAYTIME MONDAY COULD
START OFF A LITTLE BREEZY OVER THE COASTAL PRAIRIES BUT THE MOS
GUIDANCE SURFACE WINDS SHOW DECREASES ALREADY BY 18Z. THOSE
WAKING UP EARLY WILL EXPERIENCE WIND CHILLS IN THE 20S ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA, BUT WILL SEE LIGHTER WINDS AND THE MAX TEMPERATURE
RECOVERING TO THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1230 PM CST SUN NOV 9 2025
WHILE THE COLD AIR ADVECTION IS ALL BUT DONE BY MONDAY EVENING,
THE COOL STARTING TEMPERATURES, LIGHT WINDS, LOW DEW POINTS, AND
CLEAR SKIES WILL ALL CONTRIBUTE TO THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON
FOR THE CENTRAL, EASTERN, AND SOUTHERN COUNTIES. ANOTHER FREEZE
WARNING IS EXPECTED TO GO OUT FOR PORTIONS OF THESE AREAS, BUT
WILL NOT BE CONFIDENT ON HOW FAR SOUTH AND EAST TO TAKE THE
PRODUCT IN THIS PACKAGE. EARLY TUESDAY MORNING, WINDS OVER
NORTHWEST COUNTIES WILL POSSIBLY CURB THE COOLING EARLY WITH
HIGHER TERRAIN WINDS MIXING THE AIR LEAVING MIN TEMPERATURES THAT
WOULD OCCUR A FEW HOURS BEFORE DAYBREAK. THESE WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TO PICK UP AS BROAD SURFACE TROUGHING DEEPEN OVER THE HIGH PLAINS
INTO NW TX. THE STILL VERY LOW DEW POINTS WILL AID IN A RAPID
DAYTIME WARM-UP BACK TO ABOVE NORMAL MAXES AND POTENTIALLY SOME
MORE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THAT COULD WARRANT A FIRE DANGER
STATEMENT. DEW POINTS AND HUMIDITY WILL RECOVER MORE AGGRESSIVELY
FROM THE SE COUNTIES IN THE AFTERNOON, BUT NOT UNTIL THE EVENING
OVER NW COUNTIES. MIN TEMPS FOR WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL JUMP 10 TO
20 DEGREES OVER THOSE FROM TUESDAY MORNING AS A RESULT. THE
WARMING TREND CONTINUES THROUGH THE WORK WEEK BEFORE ANOTHER POLAR
TROUGH BRINGS THE NEXT WEATHER CHANGE. YESTERDAY'S SOLUTIONS
SUGGESTED THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A FAVORABLE ONE WITH A WEAKER
TROUGH AND SOME RAIN CHANCES OVER MUCH OF THE AREA. TODAY'S
CONSENSUS DEPICT A STRONGER AND FASTER SYSTEM, WHICH MIGHT LEAD TO
LESS RAIN AND MORE FIRE WEATHER ISSUES FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1052 AM CST SUN NOV 9 2025
VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR LOCAL AREA AIRPORTS THROUGH
MONDAY EVENING. BREEZY TO WINDY NORTHERLY WINDS ARE CURRENTLY

FIRE WEATHER

A RED FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS
FOR THROUGH 9 PM THIS EVENING. WHILE LITTLE CHANGE IN MINIMUM
HUMIDITIES IS EXPECTED ON MONDAY, WINDS WILL BE DECREASING DURING
THE DAY. MORNING TO MIDDAY WINDS OVER THE COASTAL PRAIRIES WILL
REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON FOR ELEVATED TO
POTENTIALLY NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. SOUTHERLY FLOW
RETURNS TUESDAY WITH WIND SPEEDS PICKING UP QUICKLY OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE EDWARDS PLATEAU AND HILL COUNTRY. MOISTURE
WILL BE SLOW TO RETURN IN THE DAYTIME, SO MINIMUM HUMIDITIES IN
THE UPPER TEENS TO 20S COULD LEAD TO NEAR CRITICAL TO POSSIBLY
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR SOME AREAS BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. THUS THERE ARE POTENTIALS FOR FIRE DANGER STATEMENTS OR
RED FLAG WARNINGS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HIGHER MOISTURE LEVELS
WILL ACCOMPANY BREEZY SOUTH WINDS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, BUT
ANOTHER DISTURBANCE COULD POTENTIALLY BRING ANOTHER FRONT AND
POSSIBLE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER PATTERN NEXT WEEKEND.
