DISCUSSION
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1155 AM CST MON NOV 10 2025
COLD AIR ADVECTION IS FULLY UNDERWAY AS A DEEP AND COLD UPPER
TROUGH SWINGS ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, RESULTING IN WIND CHILL VALUES
AROUND 10 DEGREES LOWER THAN THE AIR TEMPERATURE. A DRY AIR MASS
HAS ALSO SETTLED ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA WITH MINIMUM HUMIDITY
VALUES AS LOW AS 22 PERCENT NEAR AND SOUTH OF THE 80 CORRIDOR. A
RED FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 6 PM FOR THOSE COUNTIES AS
DRY/WINDY CONDITIONS PROMOTE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
THE CENTER OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHES TONIGHT AND WILL BE
VERY CLOSE BY ON TUESDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN A RELAXED PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND, IN TURN, LIGHTER WINDS. AS SUCH, WE'LL TRANSITION
FROM A PATTERN OF ADVECTION COOLING TO RADIATIONAL COOLING
TONIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH COLDER TONIGHT, AVERAGING
IN THE LOWER 20S. OUR TYPICALLY COOLER LOCATIONS COULD REACH THE
UPPER 10S. THIS IS QUITE THE EARLY-SEASON FREEZE WITH RECORD LOW
TEMPERATURES IN PLAY AT SEVERAL OF OUR CLIMATE SITES! SEE THE
CLIMATE SECTION BELOW FOR STATS.
QUIET WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK WITH HIGH
AND LOW TEMPERATURES MODERATING FROM THE EARLY-WEEK CHILL. OUR
NEXT RAINMAKER LOOKS TO ARRIVE SOMETIME DURING THE SUNDAY TO
MONDAY TIME FRAME. DUE TO NOTABLE DIFFERENCES IN TIMING AMONGST
ENSEMBLE DATA, NBM PRECIPITATION PROBABILITIES ARE SOMEWHAT MUTED DUE
TO THE SPREAD IN SCENARIOS. ONCE TIMING COMES INTO BETTER
CERTAINTY, CURRENT 30-40% RAIN CHANCES SHOULD INCREASE CONSIDERING
HOW BROAD THE QPF SIGNAL IS WITH THE FRONT.
