Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Christoval, TX

SHORT TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 152 AM CDT Mon Mar 16 2026

A broad trough is indicated by model guidance to continue moving off to the east over the next 24 hours. Following yesterday's cold frontal passage, colder air will continue to funnel in with the breezy north winds. By mid morning, winds will eventually subside for the remainder of the day. This morning will largely start our right around the freezing mark for most locations, and wind chills will be in the middle 20s. Expect high temperatures to only rise into the lower 50s this afternoon. Another light freeze is possible again tonight.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 1257 PM CDT Mon Mar 16 2026

Models continue to show a strong upper-level ridge over the Desert Southwest shifting eastward this week and across West Central Texas by the end of the week. We are expected the warming trend on Tuesday afternoon to carry into the end of the work week and into the weekend, with high temperatures reaching into to 90s by Friday and potentially into the triple digits on Saturday across portions of the Big Country. Little to no precipitation is expected at this time throughout the long term forecast, and we could see some increased Fire Weather concerns if any gusty winds become a factor along with the ongoing hot and dry conditions this week and weekend.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1251 PM CDT Mon Mar 16 2026

VFR conditions will prevail through the next 24 hours. Gusty north winds this afternoon will steadily decrease this afternoon and become light and variable overnight. Expect south winds to increase to 12 to 18 knots, with higher gusts, by mid to late morning Tuesday.
