.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1151 PM CST Wed Dec 24 2025

The current temperature forecast for Christmas Day would put just
about all of South Texas in the top 5 to 10 warmest Christmases on
record and the warmest since 2021. There has been no change in the
forecast, so you can enjoy the previous meteorologists Christmas-
style write-up below!

Santa is in for a tricky ride this year, as dense fog rolls in again
over South Texas this Christmas Eve. Rudolph`s nose will be working
overtime cutting through the thick mist. Here at the National
Weather Service we will aid Santa by keeping a close eye on
conditions via satellite and radar, helping guide the sleigh safely
through the fog. It won`t be the clearest ride, but with Rudolph
leading the way, Christmas magic will arrive right on time!

Early risers along the immediate coast on Christmas day may see a
few streamer showers drifting in from the Gulf, while inland it will
be warm and muggy. Conditions are forecast to improve around mid to
late morning with the fog lifting, while the rest of Christmas Day
will be very warm with highs in the 80s.

Warm and humid conditions with nightly rounds of patchy to areas of
fog will continue into the weekend, before the arrival of our next
cold front Sunday night. This next boundary will bring much cooler
temperatures, breezy northerly winds, and low to medium rain chances
(20-40%) Sunday night into Monday. Latest guidance indicates a brief
period of Wind Advisory conditions developing along the immediate
coast Monday morning, while the fire weather risk could become
elevated by the afternoon as humidity levels drop below 30% inland.
By Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, a few locations over the
Victoria Crossroads could fall to near freeze. We will continue to
monitor the latest trends and adjust the forecast over the coming
days to better highlight these hazards and issue products
accordingly. Stay tuned.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 527 AM CST Thu Dec 25 2025

Difficult fog forecast this AM. CIGs/VSBYs have been bouncy and
inconsistent. Have opted to keep in LIFR for eastern sites
VCT/CRP/ALI as visibilities remain variable and models still
leaning towards some VSBYs of 1/4sm or less (currently 1/8sm at
CRP). For Christmas night into the 26th, dense fog looks to be
more widespread in coverage. Have opted to put in LRD/COT with
MVFR conditions but may have to include lower VSBYs on a future
TAF cycle.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1151 PM CST Wed Dec 24 2025

A Marine Dense Fog Advisory is in effect through 12 PM today over
the northern nearshore waters and bays. Additional rounds of patchy
to areas of fog can be expected nightly through Saturday. Otherwise,
a generally gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) onshore flow will persist
through late in the week. A cold front Sunday night will result in
winds being more out of the northeast at a strong to gale strength
(BF 6-7) with seas building to 5-8 ft by Monday. Aside from some
streamer showers on Thursday (10-15% chance of rain), the next best
chance comes with the cold front (30-50%).

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1151 PM CST Wed Dec 24 2025

Light winds, relative humidity values remaining above 40%, and
Energy Release Components in the 25-49th percentile will keep the
fire risk limited into the weekend. A cold front continues to be
forecast to move through Sunday night into Monday morning with min
RH values falling below 30% daily Monday through Wednesday. Brush
Country could see RH values as low as the upper teens Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoon.

Breezy conditions on Monday could result in elevated fire weather
concerns. Light winds (< 10 knots) are expected Tuesday and
Wednesday. Low end rain chances Sunday night into Monday morning
will be scattered in coverage (20-40% chances).
