DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 219 PM CST SAT DEC 13 2025
COLD AND SATURATED LOW LEVELS RESULTED IN OVER-PRODUCING
SNOWFALL FOR MANY AREAS THIS MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. THIS
SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO WANE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS, ALTHOUGH
SOME SPOTS COULD PICK UP AN ADDITIONAL DUSTING OF SNOW. UNLESS
SOMETHING SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGES, THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
WILL LIKELY BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 3PM.
SKIES GRADUALLY CLEAR THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT, AND WINDS GO
LIGHT/VARIABLE AS THE SURFACE RIDGE MOVES THROUGH. ANY FOG IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN TO OUR WEST. THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN TO OUR NORTHEAST, BUT MANY SPOTS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO
DIP INTO THE LOW SINGLE DIGITS OR EVEN SLIGHTLY BELOW ZERO. WIND
CHILLS THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE -5 TO
-10 RANGE.
SURFACE WINDS RETURN TO THE SOUTH FOR SUNDAY AS RIDGING NUDGES INTO
THE CENTRAL PLAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES WARMER
THAN TODAY...BUT WITH THE STEADY WIND, IT'LL STILL FEEL QUITE
CHILLY.
SIGNIFICANTLY WARMER AIR IS STILL ON-TAP AS WE HEAD INTO THE
WORKWEEK. WIDESPREAD HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40S AND 50S
SHOULD MELT ANY REMAINING SNOW/ICE MONDAY...AND SOME AREAS COULD
EVEN REACH THE 60S FOR TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY.
A SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO PUSH A FRONT THROUGH THE AREA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THERE IS ONLY A LOW
(10-15%) CHANCE FOR LIGHT PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM, BUT IT
WILL RESULT IN A WINDIER AND COOLER DAY ON THURSDAY.
BEYOND THAT, ABOVE-NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO BE FAVORED
THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND AND INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEK. GLOBAL
ENSEMBLES SHOW LITTLE, IF ANY, SIGNAL FOR ADDITIONAL SNOW. AT
THIS POINT, THE POTENTIAL FOR A WHITE CHRISTMAS IS LOOKING
PRETTY BLEAK.
