SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1130 PM CST MON NOV 10 2025
THE COLDEST MORNING OF THE SEASON IS HERE, BUT THIS SHOULD BE THE
ONLY MORNING WITH A LARGE CHUNK OF THE CWFA EXPERIENCING FREEZING
CONDITIONS AS THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO SPREAD EAST OF
THE REGION ALLOWING FOR A WARMER RETURN FLOW TO SET UP. TODAY WILL
REMAIN BELOW AVERAGE IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES WITH MOST OF THE
REGION ONLY CLIMBING INTO THE UPPER 50S OR LOWER 60S RESPECTIVELY.
OVERNIGHT, WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT, BUT OVERALL WITH THE UPPER
FLOW PATTERN TRYING TO TAKE ON A MORE PROGRESSIVE OR ZONAL FLOW
AND A RETURN FLOW EVENTUALLY BECOMING ESTABLISHED, OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE AT LEAST 10 DEGREES WARMER ACROSS THE
REGION.
GOING INTO WEDNESDAY THE WARMING TREND WILL BE MORE APPARENT WITH
THE REGION WARMING DURING THE DAY ABOUT 10-15 DEGREES WARMER THAN
THAT ON TUESDAY AS AGAIN THE LOW LEVEL ONSHORE FLOW CONTINUES TO
STRENGTHEN AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO EXIT THE REGION STAGE
EAST. (FRYE)
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1130 PM CST MON NOV 10 2025
GOING INTO LATE WEEK THE WARMING TREND IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE AS
AN H5 RIDGE DEVELOPS OVER THE REGION AND THE ONSHORE FLOW REMAINS
LOCKED IN OVER THE AREA. AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW GRADUALLY
STRENGTHENS GOING INTO THE WEEKEND SOME LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY MAY
BE POSSIBLE WITH THE RICH LOW LEVEL FLOW STREAMING INTO THE
REGION. TEMPERATURES DURING THE DAY WILL RETURN TO ABOVE AVERAGE
LEVELS WITH MOSTLY AVERAGE OVERNIGHT LOWS EXPECTED...MAYBE
SLIGHTLY ABOVE FOR A FEW. EYES CENTER UPSTREAM AT A POSSIBLE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY LATE IN THE WEEKEND. THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW
PATTERN EVENTUALLY EVOLVES TO AN ACTIVE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT.
GLOBALS ARE STRUGGLING A BIT WITH HOW FAR AND HOW QUICKLY THIS
FRONT ARRIVES INTO THE REGION. KEPT POPS ON THE LOWER END LATER
THIS WEEKEND AND INTO THE START OF THE NEW WORKWEEK NEXT WEEK
GIVEN THE LOWER CONFIDENCE AGAIN IN TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THE
