Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Santa Fe, TX

DISCUSSION
Issued at 1233 AM CST Sun Nov 8 2026

Upper trof/low situated across ncntl Mexico. The first ejecting shortwave (one of many) is producing a large area of precipitation between Dallas and San Antonio. Some of this precip will probably clip some of our northern zones in the next several hours. Additional precipitation will probably develop further south across south Texas closer to a surface trof today...some of which may track into parts of the area later in the day. This too, will mainly be light...and overall accumulations will be negligible the further east (I-45ish) one goes. With abundant cloud cover, readings won't have much of an opportunity to warm...so we're probably looking at highs mostly in the 60s to low 70s depending on location.

Same general setup is in play again on Monday, with highest rain chances across our southwest CWA By Tuesday we'll see the upper low slowly lift ene across the state. Cloudiness will linger as will lowish rain chances.

Heading into mid-late week, amplified ridging across the western CONUS and deepening trof across the eastern CONUS will bring an an drier northwesterly flow aloft. Looking for a cold frontal passage Wednesday night followed by dry, cool weather for the remainder of the week. 47

AVIATION
(06Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 1113 PM CST Sat Nov 7 2026

Since the previous update, environmental and model data trends are suggesting a somewhat more moist atmosphere than earlier expected.
Widespread SHRA in central TX is slowly drifting in our direction tonight. It will encounter some dry air, but perhaps a little less than previous forecasted. For now, we've added VCSH to the CLL TAF, while adding PROB30s for -SHRA for CLL, IAH, HOU, and SGR.
Any rain should be light. But we cannot rule out cig/vis drops in any -SHRA. We'll watch data trends closely, making amendments when warranted.
