Forecasters' discussion

From the National Weather Service office in PAH, issued 1 day ago

Key Messages

- Patchy daybreak fog is possible each morning.

- Nearly perfect weather with highs 75-80F and lows 45-50F.

Discussion

Issued at 1245 PM CDT Fri Oct 23 2026

A strong upper level ridge will effectively block all perturbatory flow impediments to our close to perfection 7-day weather forecast. It will keep us pleasantly dry with daily highs in the mid-upper 70s and lows in the mid-upper 40s; a few outlier 80-81F and 50-51F readings are possible.

Patchy daybreak fog cannot be completely ruled out any morning but it should be shallow/brief and burn off quickly if/where it occurs.

Enjoy the dry weather run while we can as it appears we transition to an above normal pcpn pattern in the 6-10/8-14 day outlooks.

Aviation

Issued at 559 PM CDT Fri Oct 23 2026

VFR conditions are anticipated through the TAF period. As has been the case the last few nights some patchy ground fog is possible near warm bodies of water otherwise clear skies and light to calm winds are anticipated.
