DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 210 PM CST WED DEC 3 2025
TEMPERATURES ARE STARTING TO FALL BEHIND A COLD FRONT THAT
PUSHED THROUGH THE AREA EARLIER TODAY. KLNX RADAR SHOWS SOME
LIGHT RETURNS DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE SANDHILLS, BUT THIS
SHOULD REMAIN TO OUR WEST.
SKIES CLEAR OUT THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT, AND WINDS DECREASE AS
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE AREA. AS SUCH, TEMPERATURES SHOULD
FALL OFF RATHER QUICKLY. WINDS RETURN TO THE SOUTH/SOUTHWEST
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING, WHICH WILL PREVENT TEMPERATURES FROM
COMPLETELY "TANKING," ESPECIALLY IN THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST.
REGARDLESS, WIND CHILLS ARE EXPECTED TO BOTTOM OUT AROUND -10 IN
SOME AREAS (ESPECIALLY NORTH OF I-80), AND LOCAL AREAS COULD SEE
VALUES DIP AS LOW AS -15 DEGREES.
TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL LIKELY BE WIDE-RANGING. EASTERN
AREAS MAY STRUGGLE TO REACH 25 DEGREES, WHILE SOME WESTERN
AREAS COULD REACH THE LOW 40S, AIDED BY INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS. FRIDAY WILL TREND WARMER ACROSS THE AREA, AND HIGHS ARE
ANTICIPATED TO BE IN THE 40S FOR MOST LOCATIONS.
CHANCES HAVE INCREASED FOR SNOWFALL ON SATURDAY AS A WEAK
PERTURBATION DROPS SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW.
ACCUMULATING SNOW IS NOT GUARANTEED, BUT THE LATEST NBM DOES
SHOW A 10-20% CHANCE FOR 1"+ ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE
AREA.
DRY (BUT COOLER) CONDITIONS RETURN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.
THEN TEMPERATURES TREND WARMER MONDAY/TUESDAY AS THE LARGE UPPER
TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL/EASTERN CONUS NUDGES FURTHER EAST. THERE
IS A RELATIVELY HIGH (50-80%) CHANCE FOR TEMPERATURES TO EXCEED
50 DEGREES FOR AT LEAST THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA TUESDAY.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 1128 AM CST WED DEC 3 2025
FOR KGRI/KEAR AIRPORTS:

THERE IS ONLY A LOW (20%) CHANCE FOR LOW STRATUS TO RETURN EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING, BUT THIS IS TRENDING LESS FAVORABLE.
NORTH WINDS DIMINISH THIS EVENING, AND RETURN TO THE SOUTHWEST
FOR THURSDAY.
