KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 1232 PM CDT THU OCT 30 2025
- FROST DEVELOPMENT IS LIKELY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNING,
ESPECIALLY WITHIN VALLEY LOCATIONS AND LOW-LYING RIVER BASINS.
A FROST ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9AM FRIDAY MORNING TO
ACCOUNT FOR THIS.
DISCUSSION
(THIS EVENING THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1232 PM CDT THU OCT 30 2025
THE ONGOING CLOUDS SHOULD QUICKLY GIVE WAY TO CLEAR SKIES BY LATER
TONIGHT, FOLLOWED BY A QUICK DECOUPLING OF THE ONGOING WINDS. IN
THEORY, THIS SHOULD STILL ALLOW FOR A PERFECT RADIATIONAL COOLING
SCENARIO TO OCCUR TONIGHT. I SAY IN THEORY, BECAUSE THERE ARE A FEW
SCENARIOS IN WHICH THE CLOUDS HANG ON A BIT LONGER, OR THE WINDS
DON'T FULLY DECOUPLE. THIS WOULD MAINLY EFFECT THE FROST POTENTIAL
OVERNIGHT, AS OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE MID
TO UPPER-30S BOTH TONIGHT AND TOMORROW.
GIVEN THAT AFOREMENTIONED FROST POTENTIAL, WE HAVE GONE AHEAD AND
ISSUED A FROST ADVISORY FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HOWEVER, JUST
LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW
LONG THESE CLOUDS LINGER, AND HOW MIXED WE STAY. IN THE EVENT ALL
OF THESE THINGS AID IN KEEPING TEMPERATURES WARMER, THEN ONLY
PATCHY FROST IS REALLY ANTICIPATED.
GUIDANCE HAS ALSO COME INTO MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT REGARDING A SYSTEM
MOVING INTO THE REGION BY SUNDAY, BUT SOME QUESTIONS REMAIN
REGARDING INCREASED RAIN CHANCES. RIGHT NOW, THE FORECAST ONLY
MAINTAINS MINIMAL ADDITIONAL RAINFALL, BUT IF THE LOW WERE TO DEEPEN
FARTHER TO THE WEST, THEN THIS WOULD SUPPORT MORE ORGANIZED RAIN
CHANCES. AT THE VERY LEAST, THIS SYSTEM WOULD REINFORCE THIS COLDER
AIRMASS BY TUESDAY, SLOWING THE WARMING TREND WE'RE GOING TO
EXPERIENCE OVER THE WEEKEND.

FIRE WEATHER
WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO DIE DOWN TONIGHT, WITH MINRH VALUES TOMORROW
RANGING BETWEEN 40-50%. MINRH VALUES SHOULD RANGE HERE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND, BEFORE SLOWLY CLIMBING THROUGH MONDAY. THERE IS AT LEAST A
LOW END CHANCE FOR SOME ADDITIONAL RAIN TO START THE NEW WORKWEEK,
BUT THERE REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THIS UPCOMING SYSTEM.
OTHERWISE, DRYING RESUMES FOR MOST OF THE UPCOMING WEEK.
