SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1245 PM CST SAT DEC 6 2025
AFTER A CLOUDY AND/OR FOGGY MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH TEXAS,
IT LOOKS LIKE SOME OF THESE LOW CLOUDS WILL LINGER WELL INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS WILL RESULT IN COOLER HIGH TEMPERATURES,
WITH A FEW LOCATIONS ALONG THE RED RIVER STAYING THE UPPER 40S OR
LOWER 50S. THE REST OF AREA WILL STAY IN THE 50S AND 60S (MAINLY
CENTRAL TX) WITH LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS.
OUR NEXT COLD FRONT IS STILL EXPECTED TO ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT INTO
SUNDAY MORNING. LATEST HIGH-RES MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARD
ANOTHER ROUND OF LOW CLOUDS AND/OR FOG AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING
FRONT OVER PORTIONS OF NORTH AND EAST TX. THIS SHOULD KEEP THE
MORNING TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE LOW TO MID 40S IN NORTH TX
AND UPPER 40S OVER IN CENTRAL TX. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE POST-
FRONTAL WINDS WILL BECOME BREEZY BY MID-LATE MORNING AND SHOULD
LIFT/SCATTER OUT THE MAJORITY OF THESE CLOUDS. OCCASIONAL GUSTS
NEAR 20 TO 25 MPH ARE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON. THESE NORTH WINDS
WILL KEEP THE DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 50S ACROSS NORTH TX AND LOW 60S
OVER IN CENTRAL TX. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE SUNDAY NIGHT,
BUT THE FORECAST SHOWS SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES FOR MANY
LOCATIONS SUNDAY NIGHT. MAKE SURE TO BUNDLE UP VERY WELL FOR THE
MORNING COMMUTE MONDAY MORNING.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1245 PM CST SAT DEC 6 2025
NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED IN THE LONG-TERM FORECAST WITH A QUIET WEEK
AHEAD. AFTER A CHILLY MONDAY, A WARMING TREND WILL TAKE PLACE
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS TO OUR
EAST AND SOUTH FLOW PREVAILS. AT THE SAME TIME, DRY NORTHWESTERLY
FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE AT THE MID-UPPER LEVELS AS A LONGWAVE
TROUGH DOMINATES THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CONUS. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL
REACH THE 60S/70S NEXT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY BEFORE THE NEXT
COLD FRONT APPROACHES OUR REGION. AS EXPECTED WITH THE SYSTEMS 6-7
DAYS OUT, THE TIMING AND PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT IS STILL
UNCERTAIN. CLUSTER ANALYSIS SHOW ALMOST 50/50 SPLIT BETWEEN THE
LONGWAVE DIGGING FARTHER SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS VERSUS
KEEPING IT NORTH OF OUR AREA. IF THE MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND
TOWARD THE FIRST OPTION, WE COULD SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF COLD
WEATHER ARRIVING TO THE REGION BY LATE WEEK OR EARLY NEXT
WEEKEND.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 543 PM CST SAT DEC 6 2025
LOW CLOUDS AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES HAVE IMPROVED AS OF 23Z WITH
VFR PREVAILING THE REST OF THIS EVENING. OVERNIGHT, ADDITIONAL LOW
CLOUDS AND FOG WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE TX/OK BORDER AND SPREAD
SOUTHWARD WITH A SLOW-MOVING FRONTAL ZONE. THIS WILL RESULT IN
DEGRADED FLIGHT CATEGORIES LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING, WITH
PERIODS OF IFR/LIFR CIGS AND VIS. THE WORST CONDITIONS SHOULD
MATERIALIZE FOR METROPLEX AIRPORTS BETWEEN 11-14Z BEFORE DRIER AIR
ARRIVES BEHIND THE FRONT AND RESULTS IN A FAIRLY QUICK
IMPROVEMENT THROUGH THE REST OF THE MORNING. VFR AND MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES SHOULD ARRIVE BY THE AFTERNOON, WITH NORTHWEST WINDS
INCREASING TO 15G25KT. SIMILAR TRENDS CAN BE EXPECTED AT WACO
WITH A TIME DELAY OF 2-3 HOURS. THE POST-FRONTAL NORTH WINDS WILL
SUBSIDE TO 10 KTS OR LESS AFTER 00Z TOMORROW EVENING.
