(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1029 AM CST MON DEC 8 2025
A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL IMPACT THE MID-SOUTH THROUGH
MIDWEEK. SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL ALLOW GRADUAL WAA THROUGH
WEDNESDAY, WHEN HIGH TEMPERATURES RETURN TO THE MID AND UPPER
50S.UNFORTUNATELY, WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL NOT STICK AROUND FOR
LONG AS A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ATTENDANT COLD FRONT
PUSH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION ON WEDNESDAY. EVENTUAL FROPA
WILL OCCUR BY MIDDAY WITH COOLER AIR FUNNELING INTO THE MID-SOUTH
OVERNIGHT. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL RANGE
FROM THE MID 40S TO THE MID 50S.
ELSEWHERE IN CONUS ON FRIDAY, A PIECE OF THE POLAR VORTEX WILL
EJECT ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A
CONTINENTAL POLAR AIRMASS TO SETTLE OVER A LARGE PORTION OF
CONUS. THE LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A MORE NORTHERLY EJECTION OF
THIS AIRMASS, MEANING THE COLDEST AIR WILL REMAIN CONFINED TO THE
MIDWEST. TEMPERATURES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL BE WELL BELOW
NORMAL LOCALLY WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 30S TO UPPER
40S. THE COLDEST MORNING WILL OCCUR ON SATURDAY AS LOWS DROP TO
THE LOW 20S FOR AREAS NORTH OF I-40. RAIN CHANCES RETURN ON
