.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 434 PM CST Sun Feb 1 2026

No significant changes were made to the forecast. Though warmer
than last night, expect a fairly cool conditions with low
temperatures in the 30s inland and 40s coast. Could see some
patchy areas of frost across the northern half of the region. By
Monday, many areas could be pushing 70 degrees, with a ssw llvl
flow in place. As moisture levels further increase Tuesday, we
anticipate seeing some shra development, and possibly a tstm or 
two, in advance of the next front that is fcst to push through the
region Tuesday night. Behind the front Wed, mostly dry seasonable
conditions will prevail for the rest of the work week with ridging
in place. A gradual warmup expected this weekend as return flow 
sets back up as the llvl ridge moves off to the east.

Issued at 434 PM CST Sun Feb 1 2026

Onshore flow has resumed and will gradually increase through 
Tuesday. There is some potential for patchy sea fog Tuesday 
morning and again Tuesday evening and night. A cold front pushes 
offshore late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. Showers 
are expected along and ahead of the front. Moderate northerly 
winds and increasing seas are expected behind the front on 
Wednesday, with Small Craft Advisory conditions possible over the 
Gulf. Winds decrease by Thursday. 

Water levels will remain low through Monday due to low
astronomical tides. We cannot rule out needing to extend the Low 
Water Advisory into Tuesday.
