Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Richland Hills, TX

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 1216 PM CST Fri Nov 6 2026

Expect cloudy, but tranquil weather conditions for today across the region. Northerly post-frontal winds and cloudy skies will keep afternoon temperatures in the 60s and 70s, with the coolest conditions in the northwestern half of the region.

Well to our west, a digging shortwave trough will continue to move through the Desert Southwest into northern Mexico heading into the weekend. Out on the eastern periphery of this disturbance, moisture will pool overtop the cool post-frontal airmass, leading to an uptick of rain to the west and southwest of our area by early tomorrow morning. The disturbance is expected to remain in Northern Mexico this weekend, with resulting rain chances moving into our west and southwestern counties Saturday afternoon onward. At this time, western North Texas and western- central Central Texas will be the focus for scattered showers as the majority of moisture and rain will remain displaced further west and southwest.

Outside of the meager rain chances, continued cloud cover and winds ranging between north to east will keep afternoon temperatures mild in the 60s to low 70s.

LONG TERM
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 1216 PM CST Fri Nov 6 2026

The aforementioned low will finally swing up across the state of Texas early next week, though the majority of the rain will remain confined to portions of Central Texas. While we cannot rule out some isolated showers in North Texas on Monday, there is uncertainty on just how far north anything will develop. This will ultimately depend on the track of the disturbance across the region, the depth of moisture, and the quality of ascent. The ECMWF is a bit more bullish, with better lift allowing increased rain across North Texas late Monday into Tuesday, while the GFS is much more conservative. Once again, cannot rule out isolated development, but will need to see how the disturbance moves.

Minimal rain is expected through midweek, though very isolated (10-20%) showers may push into Central Texas on Wednesday as another weak disturbance moves across the Southern Plains. Outside of that, expect a gradual warming trend much of next week as southerly winds return. We'll then turn to the potential for a frontal passage towards the end of next week, though at this juncture there is still uncertainty on both timing and any impacts on precipitation and temperatures. Make sure to keep updated with the forecast this week as more details will come.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 507 PM CST Fri Nov 6 2026

The prevailing cloud deck looks to remain VFR tonight between 4- 6 kft. A few low clouds (bases ~2 kft) may develop as the low-levels cool amidst lingering moisture and subtle ascent. Confidence in the breaching of flight category thresholds is too low to include lowered cigs with this cycle. Satellite trends will be monitored.

Cloudy conditions will continue on Saturday, with decks around 6kft and FL250 expected. Ceilings may be lower south of the D10 TRACON, however confidence in MVFR coverage is once again too low to include formal mention in the ACT TAF at this time. NNE surface winds around 11 kts will decrease to 9 kts or lower as the surface high currently positioned over the Central Plains translates south.

Isolated showers will be possible largely west and south of D10 after 00Z, with instances of virga possible for D10 in the extended portion of the period.
