ISSUED AT 1230 PM CST SUN DEC 7 2025
AFTER ANOTHER CHILLY, CLOUDY, AND FOGGY MORNING, CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE TO SLOWLY IMPROVE THIS AFTERNOON AS THE DRIER AIRMASS
FINALLY ARRIVES FROM THE NORTH. BREEZY NORTH WINDS WITH GUSTS
NEAR 20-25 MPH ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WHILE RECENT
RADAR IMAGERY SHOW SOME LIGHT REFLECTIVITY RETURNS FROM THE MID-
LEVEL CLOUDS OVER PORTIONS OF NORTH TX, MOST OF IT IS NOT
REACHING THE GROUND. DEWPOINTS IN THE MID/UPPER 30S ARE BEGINNING
TO FILTER IN AS WELL, KEEPING THE LOWER LEVELS FAIRLY DRY. STILL
WE CAN'T RULE OUT A LITTLE BIT OF DRIZZLE BEFORE ALL THE CLOUDS
CLEAR OUT THIS AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF CLOUDS AND WINDS WILL
KEEP TODAY'S HIGHS MAINLY IN THE LOW TO MID 50S ACROSS NORTH TX
AND UPPER 50S/LOWER 60S IN CENTRAL TX.
SURFACE WINDS WILL BEGIN TO SUBSIDE TONIGHT AS A SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES TOWARDS OUR AREA. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL DROP TO
THE UPPER 20S TO MID 30S WITH WIND CHILL GENERALLY IN THE 20S.
MAKE SURE TO BUNDLE UP FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE MONDAY MORNING.
ANOTHER SEASONABLY COOLER DAY IS IN STORE FOR US ON MONDAY WITH
HIGHS IN THE 50S TO LOW 60S BUT WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND LIGHT
WINDS. THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT TO THE EAST MONDAY
NIGHT WITH THE RETURN OF THE SOUTH WINDS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL
STAY IN THE 30S BUT ONLY A FEW LOCATIONS WILL DROP BELOW FREEZING
BY TUESDAY MORNING.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1230 PM CST SUN DEC 7 2025
THE LONG-TERM FORECAST CONTINUES TO HIGHLIGHT THE WARMING TREND
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY THE NEXT STRONG COLD FRONT
BY THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. LARGE SCALE TROUGHING
WILL DOMINATE THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CONUS MOST OF THE WEEK BUT
THE SURFACE RIDGE TO OUR WEST WILL KEEP THE COLDER AIRMASS OVER
THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS. A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY ATTEMPT TO
PUSH SOUTH ON WEDNESDAY BRIEFLY SHIFTING THE WINDS TO THE NORTH,
BUT WE WON'T SEE MUCH OF A COOLDOWN UNTIL THE STRONGER FRONT
LATER IN THE WEEK. DAYTIME HIGHS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY WILL
RANGE FROM THE 60S TO LOW 70S AND LOWS IN THE 30S/40S STAYING
ABOVE FREEZING.
FOR THE LATE WEEK AND WEEKEND PERIOD, EXTENDED GUIDANCE CONTINUES
TO TREND TOWARDS A DEEPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN U.S WITH A
STRONGER/EXPANSIVE SURFACE RIDGE BUILDING EAST OF THE ROCKIES.
THIS WILL SEND A MUCH COLDER AIRMASS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
AND THE SOUTHEAST U.S. BY THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. WE
COULD BE LOOKING AT WIDESPREAD HIGHS IN THE 40S TO LOW 50S BY NEXT
SATURDAY.
