DUE TO THE ELEVATED GRADIENT WINDS.

DISCUSSION
(THIS EVENING THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1224 PM CDT WED OCT 29 2025
SO LONG "FALSE FALL," AS IT APPEARS REAL FALL HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.
THIS SUPER POTENT LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK EAST OVER THE
NEXT 24-HOURS, KEEPING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND GUSTY WINDS IN THE
FORECAST THROUGH THEN. IN FACT, WINDS WILL LIKELY BE SUSTAINED NEAR
15 MPH FOR MUCH OF TODAY AND TOMORROW, WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH
POSSIBLE AT CERTAIN POINTS. THIS SUPER TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
FINALLY BEGIN TO GIVE WAY BY THURSDAY NIGHT, ALLOWING FOR A PERFECT
RADIATIONAL COOLING SITUATION OVERNIGHT. COME FRIDAY MORNING, LOWS
WILL LIKELY BE PUSHING FREEZING IN SOME OF OUR VALLEY SPOTS, WITH
MID TO UPPER-30S PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE ELSE. IN TURN, WE MAY SEE
OUR FIRST WIDESPREAD FROST OF THE SEASON, WITH A FROST ADVISORY
BEING NEEDED FOR A PORTION OF THE AREA. THERE IS STILL SOME QUESTION
AS TO HOW FAR SOUTH ONE WILL BE NEEDED, BUT THAT WILL LIKELY BE
EVALUATED OVER THE COMING DAY OR TWO.
THINGS SHOULD MOSTLY STABILIZE THROUGH THE WEEKEND, WITH
TEMPERATURES SLOWLY STARTING TO REBOUND BY SUNDAY. HOWEVER, BY THE
START OF THE NEW WORKWEEK, WE COULD BE LOOKING AT ANOTHER SYSTEM
WORKING INTO THE REGION. THIS SYSTEM WOULD BE ANOTHER VERY POTENT
CLOSED LOW PRESSURE, DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE MIDWEST. THERE STILL
APPEARS TO BE SOME DISCREPANCY IN THE OVERALL TIMING, AND DEPTH OF
THIS SYSTEM, BUT THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO FOR US WOULD BE ANOTHER
REINFORCING SHOT OF COOL AIR TUESDAY ONWARD.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1224 PM CDT WED OCT 29 2025
SHOWERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO LINGER THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY, WITH
ALL TERMINALS CONTINUING TO CARRY THEM INTO TOMORROW. ALL
TERMINALS WILL ALSO EXPERIENCE VARIOUS STAGES OF IFR AND MVFR
CIGS, WITH BRIEF BREAKS INTO VFR CIGS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. HOWEVER,
IFR CIGS SHOULD PREVAIL PAST 30/04Z, EVENTUALLY MIXING OUT TO MVFR
CATEGORY. OTHERWISE, GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE, WITH
GUSTS NEAR 30 MPH POSSIBLE TODAY AND TOMORROW.
/44/
FIRE WEATHER
VERY GUSTY WINDS ARE LIKELY THROUGH TOMORROW, WITH GUSTS POTENTIALLY
PUSHING 30 MPH AT POINTS. THIS WILL AID IN SLIGHTLY DRYING SOME OF
THE RECENT RAINFALL THAT WE'VE SEEN ACROSS THE AREA TODAY, WITH NO
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER, ANOTHER
SYSTEM MAY WORK INTO THE REGION BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, INCREASING RAIN
CHANCES ONCE AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MUCH RAIN,
WITH ONGOING DROUGHT CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE.
