(Today through Friday)
Issued at 1201 AM CST Thu Nov 13 2025
Southerly lower level flow into a thermal ridge underneath an upper
level ridge bring well above average temperatures through Friday.
Increasing moisture will lead to low clouds and patchy fog, some
dense, late night into morning. Heating allows for mixing with a dry
airmass aloft to enable ample sunshine in the afternoon. A tight
surface pressure gradient results in breezy winds with gusts up to
25 mph.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 1201 AM CST Thu Nov 13 2025
This weekend into early next week, the upper level ridge gradually
moves off to the east with an upper level trough passing well to our
north allowing for an increasingly moist southwesterly flow aloft.
Well above average temperatures continue with highs near records
Sunday through Tuesday as the lower level thermal ridge strengthens.
Current records for the 16th through 18th are in the mid to upper
80s. Forcing from the low level jet, an upper level jet, and a weak
Pacific front on deepening moisture result in slight POPs (10-25%)
for showers and isolated thunderstorms on Tuesday along and east of
the I-35 corridor.
For the middle to late part of next week, there remains uncertainty
among the models and ensembles. The ongoing consensus shows an upper
level trough and surface cold front moving over Texas. However, the
strength and timing of the trough and cold front are in flux. This
should result in higher POPs (20-50%) for showers and thunderstorms.
One scenario is a line of showers and thunderstorms with a marginal
strong to severe potential. A slight "cooldown" is expected, though
temperatures remain above average. Expect updates to the forecast
through the next several days.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 516 AM CST Thu Nov 13 2025
A shallow moisture return off the Gulf has resulted in a mix of
low stratus development near SAT and north into the Hill Country,
and fog development east of I-35 and I-37. Ceilings with the
stratus are producing MVFR to IFR conditions, and visibilities
with the fog IFR to LIFR conditions. The stratus and fog are
forecast to mix out 14-16Z with VFR conditions through the
remainder of the day. A southerly wind around 10 KT with gusts to
around 20 KT is forecast to develop after 17Z across the Hill
Country, I-35 corridor, and Coastal Plains.
