DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 112 AM CDT WED OCT 29 2025
THROUGH MID NEXT WEEK...
WE WILL BE IN A POST FRONTAL REGIME TODAY ON THE BACKSIDE OF AN
UPPER LOW. THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT (AROUND 10 MB) ACROSS THE
AREA TODAY WILL RESULT IN WINDS SUSTAINED AROUND 20 MPH WITH GUSTS
35-40 MPH. AS SUCH, A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE CONTINUED FOR PORTIONS
OF THE AREA TODAY UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING. PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES
AND RAIN SHOWERS TAPER OFF OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AS DRIER AIR USHERS IN
ON THE BACK SIDE. WE MAINTAIN A NORTHWESTERLY COOL/DRY REGIME
OVERALL THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. AS HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLES OVER THE AREA THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL
DROP TO THE UPPER 30S AND LOW 40S. PATCHY FROST WILL BE POSSIBLE
FRIDAY MORNING, WITH HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN THE NORTHEAST.
WE WILL BEGIN TO SEE WEAK MOIST RETURN FLOW, THOUGH STILL QUITE
SUPPRESSED, FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT
TROUGH, WHICH WILL KEEP LOWS EVER SO SLIGHTLY WARMER FRIDAY NIGHT,
LIMITING FROST CHANCES SATURDAY MORNING. LOW POPS (15-20%) RETURN
GENERALLY SOUTH OF I-20 THIS WEEKEND AS A CUT OFF LOW MEANDERS OVER
THE NORTHERN GULF. THERE IS SOME DISCREPANCY IN THE GUIDANCE INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK REGARDING THE TIMING OF DEPARTURE FOR THIS FEATURE,
AS STRONGER RIDGING PRESENT IN THE EURO SLOWS THIS FEATURE DOWN. IN
GENERAL THOUGH, WE WILL SEE A RETURN TO A NORTHWESTERLY COOL/DRY
PATTERN NEXT WEEK. WITH A SURFACE HIGH SETTLING OVER THE REGION,
LOWS COULD ONCE AGAIN BE ON THE COOL SIDE MID NEXT WEEK.
