DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1147 PM CST SAT JAN 10 2026
QUIET WEATHER WILL PREVAIL FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEKEND WITH
TEMPERATURES RECOVERING INTO THE 60S. THE TROUGH THAT CONTRIBUTED TO
THE UNSETTLED WEATHER AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER IN THE
WEEKEND WILL RETREAT WESTWARD OVER THE BAJA PENINSULA BEFORE
SWINGING BACK EAST ON MONDAY AND TRACKING THROUGH THE STATE TUESDAY.
AS IT TRACKS THROUGH TEXAS IT WILL BECOME EMBEDDED A SECOND TROUGH
STATIONED TO OUR EAST. GIVEN A LACK OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN
POST-FRONT, NOT EXPECTING THIS TROUGH TO PRODUCE ANYTHING MORE THAN
CLOUDY SKIES AND A FEW SPRINKLES ON ITS APPROACH. AS THE TROUGH
CONTINUES OFF TO THE EAST, A COLD FRONT WILL FOLLOW FROM BEHIND LATE
WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL SEND DAYTIME HIGHS BACK INTO
THE 50S TO LOW 60S FOR THURSDAY.
HIGHS WILL REBOUND INTO THE 60S TO LOW 70S FOR FRIDAY AS SOUTHERLY
FLOW RETURNS; HOWEVER, THE WARM WEATHER WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS
ANOTHER FRONT APPROAACHES IN TIME FOR THE WEEKEND. THERE MAY BE
ENOUGH MOISTURE RETURN AHEAD OF THIS FRONT ALONG WITH SOME MID-UPPER
LEVEL MOISTURE BROUGHT IN FROM THE PACIFIC TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR NEXT
CHANCE OF RAIN.

(00Z TAF ISSUANCE)
ISSUED AT 513 PM CST SAT JAN 10 2026
VFR THROUGHOUT, PUTTING FOCUS SQUARELY ON GUSTY NORTH WINDS. WINDS
A LITTLE WEST OF DUE NORTH TONIGHT, AND GUSTS IN THE 20S CONTINUE
ACROSS SE TX. THOSE GUSTS SHOULD GRADUALLY DROP OFF THIS EVENING
AND WINDS DIMINISH SLIGHTLY, BUT REMAIN IN THE BALLPARK OF 10 KTS
THROUGH THE NIGHT. TOMORROW, LOOK FOR WINDS TO CONTINUE AT ROUGHLY
THAT SAME SPEED, BUT VEERING SLIGHTLY MORE TOWARDS DUE NORTH, AND
MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE EAST OF DUE NORTH AT TIMES LATE IN THE PERIOD.
ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS IS GLS. WITH FETCH THERE OFF GALVESTON
BAY, WINDS WILL BE SLOWER TO DIMINISH. EXPECTING AROUND 20G30KT
TONIGHT AND GUSTS HOLDING MUCH DEEPER INTO THE NIGHT THAN INLAND,
WITH GRADUAL DIMINISHMENT INTO THE TEENS TOMORROW. DIRECTION
TRENDS SHOULD BE THE SAME AS ELSEWHERE.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 1147 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. MODERATE TO STRONG 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 THROUGH 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 WILL LIKELY BE
NEEDED BEHIND THIS FRONT TOO.
