.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Friday night)
Issued at 1149 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025
South Central Texas remains under overcast skies today keeping cool
and dreary conditions around the area. Late this morning, a few
locations are still reporting some light rain or drizzle though
visibility has improved across all locations. Our overrunning
pattern producing wet and drizzly conditions this morning is
forecast to weaken which will allow for drier conditions this
afternoon with cool temperatures from the low 50s to low 60s. Expect
mainly dry conditions to continue through early Friday morning, then
precipitation increase after sunrise as some mid-level disturbances
pass over the area. Chances for light rain and drizzle increase
first over the Rio Grande then extend east through the morning into
the early afternoon before decreasing late afternoon. Rain amounts
will be highest in the western and southern reaches of the CWA but
may only amount to around a quarter of an inch over portions of the
southern Edwards Plateau, Rio Grande Plains and Coastal Plains south
of San Antonio. Elsewhere, rain amounts will vary from a few
hundredths up to a tenth of an inch. Some local reductions in
visibility are also expected in the morning hours Friday with this
activity. Highs remain on the cool side tomorrow topping out in the
50s across the area.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through next Thursday)
Issued at 1149 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025
Drier air gradually begins to move over the area Friday night into
the weekend bringing an end to rain chances for South Central Texas.
Cloudy skies overnight will clear up from the northwest to southeast
Saturday allowing highs to warm up into upper 60s to mid 70s. Winds
turn northerly Sunday behind a dry cold front which moves across the
area in the morning. This will lead to cooler high temperatures in
the north from the low to mid 60s to warmer temperatures in our
southern CWA in the low to mid 70s. Winds will be breezy Sunday and
Sunday evening but decrease Sunday night into Monday. Early Monday
morning, a few locations in the Hill Country or southern Edwards
Plateau may briefly see freezing temperatures, but this will
likely be for locations who have already seen a freeze this
season. Surface high pressure keeps light wind, clear skies and
mild highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s around on Monday. This high
pressure then shifts east Tuesday with northwesterly flow setting
up aloft. Dry weather is forecast for the rest of the period
warmer temperatures in the 60s and 70s.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 543 PM CST Thu Dec 4 2025
Expect somewhat better flying conditions for this forecast
package though some MVFR cigs remain mainly over KAUS and KSAT at
this hour. Have added a TEMPO for KSAT and KSSF for MVFR cigs as
expect a mix of VFR and MVFR for a few more hours before improving
to VFR cigs. MVFR cigs are expected for KAUS throughout the
overnight hours before improving to VFR cigs. For all I-35 TAF
sites expect northerly winds of 10-15kt with some gusts up to
20kt before becoming light and eventually switching to the south
by tomorrow. Rain chances increase once again tomorrow but cigs
should generally stay MVFR this time. Have kept PROB30s to
account for this. For KDRT expect VFR cigs to continue before rain
chances and MVFR cigs commence by morning and have kept PROB30s
for this as well.
