DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 129 PM CST SAT JAN 10 2026
TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING 20-30F LOWER TODAY THAN THEY WERE THIS
TIME YESTERDAY THANKS TO LAST NIGHTS FRONTAL PASSAGE. WINDS WILL
LOSE THEIR GUSTINESS OVERNIGHT, THOUGH SUSTAINED SPEEDS 5-13MPH
SHOULD LINGER FOR A GOOD PART OF THE NIGHT. LOOK FOR OVERNIGHT
LOWS TO FALL INTO 35-45 DEGREE RANGE FOR MOST OF THE REGION
(LOWEST INLAND). AREAS UP NEAR HOUSTON COUNTY MAY SEE A BRIEF,
LIGHT FREEZE. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE, LOW RH'S AND LIGHTER WINDS ON
SUNDAY WITH HIGHS TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 50S-LOW 60S.
THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE PARENT MID-UPPER TROUGH OF LAST
NIGHTS FRONT WILL CUT OFF AND RETROGRADE BACK TOWARD THE BAJA
AREA. IT'LL EVENTUALLY KICK OUT ON MONDAY, TRACK ACROSS TEXAS
TUESDAY, THEN BECOME ABSORBED BY A DEEPENING TROUGH TO OUR EAST
ON WEDNESDAY. WE SHOULD SEE SOME INCREASED MID-UPPER LEVEL CLOUDINESS
AS IT APPROACHES, AND PERHAPS SOME VIRGA OR A FEW SPRINKLES AS IT
GETS CLOSE...BUT OVERALL QUALITY LLVL MOISTURE RETURN DOESN'T
LOOK FAVORABLE FOR ANYTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE. ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THIS SYSTEM, WE'LL SEE ANOTHER COLD FRONT PASS THROUGH LATE
WEDNESDAY OR WEDNESDAY NIGHT. IT'LL COME THROUGH DRY.
HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THIS FRONT WILL PASS OFF TO THE EAST LATER
THURSDAY. SOUTHERLY FLOW THEN RESUMES. COMBINATION OF SOME RETURNING
GULF MOISTURE, AND MAYBE SOME MID-UPPER PACIFIC MOISTURE, MIGHT
ALLOW FOR SOME SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCES OF RAIN IN ADVANCE OF
ANOTHER FRONT FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY. 47
AVIATION
(12Z TAF ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 525 AM CST SAT JAN 10 2026
WHILE SOME SCATTERED LOW-LEVEL CLOUDS WILL PERSIST THIS MORNING,
WE WILL SEE MOSTLY MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS THROUGH TOMORROW
WITH VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING. STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TODAY WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15-20KT AND GUSTS TO
25-30KT EXPECTED. THESE GUSTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AROUND
SUNSET, THEN WINDS SLOWLY LOWER THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GLS WHERE GUSTY WINDS MAY LINGER THROUGH
SUNDAY MORNING.

ISSUED AT 129 PM CST SAT JAN 10 2026
MODERATE TO STRONG NORTH WINDS AND ELEVATED SEAS WILL CONTINUE
INTO SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE GRADUALLY DIMINISHING DURING THE DAY
SUNDAY. THIS OFFSHORE FLOW HAS PUSHED SOME WATER OUT OF THE BAYS
AND MARINERS SHOULD ANTICIPATE NEGATIVE TIDE LEVELS...ESPECIALLY
AROUND LOW TIDE CYCLES THROUGH LATE SUNDAY MORNING. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES AND A LOW WATER ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT TIL
ABOUT NOON SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OVERHEAD EARLY NEXT
WEEK ALLOWING FOR LIGHT WINDS AND CONTINUED SUBSIDING SEAS. THE
NEXT COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO THE WATERS LATE WEDNESDAY
OR WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SCAS LOOK PROBABLE BEHIND THIS FRONT TOO. 47
