Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Whitney, TX

SHORT TERM
(Today through tonight)
Issued at 1216 AM CST Sun Nov 8 2026

Radar imagery this morning shows light to moderate rain continues near/south of the I-20 corridor across southern North Texas and most of Central Texas. This activity is occurring out ahead of an upper level low located over northern Mexico that is slowly moving eastward towards Texas. Rainfall has been heavier than guidance had suggested over the past few days, with a few lightning strikes even noted at times, and some areas of Central Texas may wind up near or over 1 inch of rain from this event. Rain is expected to continue through the day but gradually shift southward with time as the primary upper lift focuses into South Texas, with rain ending across our cwa this evening/tonight. Similar to yesterday, widespread clouds and precipitation will keep temperatures cool with highs only in the 60s to low 70s and lows tonight in the mid 40s to mid 50s.

LONG TERM
(Monday through next Saturday)
Issued at 1216 AM CST Sun Nov 8 2026

The aforementioned upper level low will shift eastward across the state and across North Texas from Monday into Tuesday, which will bring a few additional but much more widely scattered showers to North and Central Texas both days. A return of southerly winds also means an uptick in temperatures with highs/lows a few degrees warmer than previous days.

As the upper low shifts away from our neck of the woods and weakens by midweek, global models depict a weak H5 ridge quickly shifting southeastward across our region. This will bring a dry and unusually warm November day to North and Central Texas on Wednesday with highs well into the 70s and 80s, which is around 10-15 degrees above normal for this time of year. This warmth will be short-lived, however, as 00Z deterministic GFS/ECMWF show strong northerly flow developing aloft behind the ridge forcing a cold front through the state late Wednesday into Thursday.
Guidance differs on just how strong this front will be, with the GFS notably much colder than the ECWMF and NBM guidance. At this range, appears the coldest air will be shunted off to our east into the southeast CONUS, giving us just a glancing cooler blow that will knock temperatures back down to near normal levels for mid-November.
