..NEW SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION
KEY MESSAGES

IN THE 80S EXPECTED.
- CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURN TUESDAY ONWARD. THE
HIGHEST CHANCES WILL BE DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1227 PM CST THU NOV 13 2025
UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO DICTATE OUR REGIONAL WEATHER
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORKWEEK, KEEPING NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS
ABNORMALLY WARM AND RAIN-FREE. AFTERNOON HIGHS TODAY WILL BE ABLE
TO PEAK IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S WITH ABUNDANT SUN AND
PERSISTENT SOUTHERLY WINDS. WITH THE REGION REMAINING PLANTED ON
THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW-LEVEL RIDGE AS WE HEAD INTO THE
WEEKEND, THE NORTHWARD SURGE OF INCREASED GULF MOISTURE WILL ALLOW
FOR ANOTHER NIGHT OF LOW STRATUS CLOUDS AND PATCHY, SOMETIMES
DENSE, FOG. BEST CHANCES FOR LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL AGAIN BE IN
CENTRAL TEXAS, LIKE THIS MORNING. HOWEVER, INCREASED NOCTURNAL
LOW-LEVEL WINDS AND 24 HOURS OF ADDITIONAL MOISTURE BEING PUMPED
INTO THE REGION WILL INCREASE THE CHANCES OF FOGGY AND CLOUDY
CONDITIONS IN PORTIONS OF NORTH TEXAS DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE
ON FRIDAY. ANY STRATUS OR FOG WILL GRADUALLY ERODE OVER THE MID-
LATE MORNING HOURS, MAKING WAY FOR ANOTHER SUNNY AND WARM
AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S. A LEE-SIDE SURFACE LOW WILL
DEVELOP TOMORROW, LEADING TO STRONGER WINDS AND GUSTS OVER THE
AFTERNOON HOURS.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1227 PM CST THU NOV 13 2025
OUR FORECAST WILL CONTINUE TO BE BLAND THROUGH THIS WEEKEND INTO
THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. BROAD TROUGHING WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE
ONSHORE THE WESTERN CONUS THIS WEEKEND, WITH THE FIRST OF MULTIPLE
SHORTWAVES EJECTING FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL
PLAINS AS WE NEAR MONDAY. UNFORTUNATELY, LATEST GUIDANCE CONTINUES
TO KEEP THIS SHORTWAVE AND ITS LIFT REMOVED WELL TO OUR NORTH,
AND WILL NOT DO MUCH FOR OUR REGIONAL WEATHER.
A DEEPER, STOUTER SHORTWAVE WILL SWING ACROSS THE PLAINS EASTWARD
TOWARD MIDWEEK, BUT WILL BE LOCATED FURTHER SOUTH. THIS WILL
SPREAD STRONGER FORCING FOR ASCENT ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS
MIDWEEK, LEADING TO INCREASING RAIN CHANCES. PWATS NEAR OR ABOVE
1.5", WHICH IS NEAR THE CLIMATOLOGICAL MAXIMUM VALUE (ACCORDING TO
SPC'S SOUNDING CLIMATOLOGY)AND LONG, SKINNY CAPE PROFILES WOULD
PROMOTE THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN DURING THIS TIME.
ADDITIONALLY, THE LATEST GEFS AND EURO ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE ARE BOTH
SHOWING ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND SHEAR TO KEEP AN EYE ON ANY SEVERE
POTENTIAL. BOTTOM LINE: IT IS TOO EARLY TO GO INTO ANY SPECIFICS
REGARDING RAIN AMOUNTS OR SEVERE RISKS AND THREATS, BUT MAKE SURE
TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE FORECAST AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND AND
NEXT WEEK AS MORE DETAILS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE THE CLOSER WE GET
TO THE TIME IN QUESTION.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1227 PM CST THU NOV 13 2025
BLUF - VFR THE REST OF TODAY; LOW CIGS AND PATCHY BR/FG POSSIBLE
AGAIN FRIDAY MORNING; GUSTY WINDS TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
D10 - AFTER A NICE REST OF TODAY, FLYING CONDITIONS BECOME A BIT
MORE UNCERTAIN NEAR DAYBREAK FRIDAY. ANOTHER SURGE IN LOW-LEVEL
STRATUS IS EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING, BUT THERE ARE
BETTER CHANCES FOR IMPACTS IN D10 BETWEEN 11-15Z THIS ROUND. THERE
IS STILL ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY TO FOREGO A MENTION OF MVFR OR LOWER
CIGS AT THIS TIME, BUT THE POTENTIAL WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY
WATCHED THE REST OF TODAY FOR ANY FUTURE INCLUSION. ANY STRATUS
THAT OCCURS WILL ERODE OVER THE LATE MORNING, WITH VFR AND
STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY WINDS/GUSTS EXPECTED TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
ACT - ANOTHER ROUND OF MVFR OR LOWER STRATUS IS EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT, WITH GREATEST CHANCES OF IMPACTS TO THE TERMINALS
BETWEEN 12Z-16/17Z. SIMILAR TO THIS MORNING, THERE COULD BE EVEN
LOWER CEILING HEIGHTS, BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED FOR MORE
AGREEMENT IN GUIDANCE AND HOW THE CLOUDS DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. ANY
STRATUS OR MIST WILL GRADUALLY ERODE AFTER DAYBREAK, WITH
INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS AND VFR EXPECTED TO PREVAIL TOMORROW
AFTERNOON.
