.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Wednesday night)
Issued at 521 PM CST Mon Dec 22 2025

The region remains stuck with an onshore flow east of a ridge
centered along the Atlantic coast. The moist south flow continues to
push dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s across water temperatures
that are around 60F. This is keeping conditions dreary with low
stratus and sea fog lingering through the day, especially south of
I-10. Slightly lower dewpoints are noted farther inland across
Cen LA and the East Texas Lakes Region which as allowed these
locations to see peeks of sunshine here and there this morning
since fog burned off earlier at some locations.

Tonight into early Tue the situation will remain stagnant with fog
and stratus expected early with a gradual clearing through mid day.
The flow may become slightly more east which could allow for
slightly lower dewpoints to mix into areas along the Atchafalaya
Basin. This could at least slow fog development Tuesday night for
Cen LA through the heart of Acadiana.

Warm and muggy conditions will remain in place for Christmas Eve.
Fog will again be a concern that night into Christmas morning.
