(REST OF TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)  
ISSUED AT 1151 AM CST THU JAN 23 2025  
 
WE ARE SEEING SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF A DIGGING TROUGH TO OUR  
WEST. THIS WILL HELP TO WARM THINGS ABOVE FREEZING TODAY WITH  
HIGHS PUSHING INTO THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S. CLOUD COVER WILL  
START TO PUSH IN THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD  
FRONT WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES BY THE EVENING. THE FRONT AND  
TROUGH AXIS WILL WORK THROUGH OVERNIGHT AND OVERALL WE WON'T SEE  
MUCH FROM IT BESIDES THE CLOUD COVER BUT A FEW FLURRIES FROM TIME  
TO TIME CAN'T BE RULED OUT. LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER  
TEENS TO LOWER 20S. CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY CLEAR THROUGHOUT THE  
DAY FRIDAY AS FLOW ALOFT BECOMES ZONAL AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE  
BUILDS OVER THE REGION. COLDER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT WILL DROP  
HIGHS ON FRIDAY BACK INTO THE LOW TO MID 30S.  
 

 
   
LONG TERM
 
 
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)  
ISSUED AT 1151 AM CST THU JAN 23 2025  
 
CLEAR SKIES WILL LEAD TO A COLD NIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS  
FALLING INTO THE TEENS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL START TO PUSH EAST ON  
SATURDAY PUSHING HIGHS BACK INTO THE 40S TO NEAR 50. A TROUGH  
DIGGING OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE COUNTRY WILL HELP TO PULL  
MOISTURE UP FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO ON SUNDAY AND BRING US A LOW  
CHANCE FOR SOME LIGHT SHOWERS. A WARM FRONT WILL TRY TO LIFT NORTH  
INTO OUR AREA ON SUNDAY BUT WILL LIKELY STAY JUST SOUTH OF THE  
BOARDER. THIS IS WHERE THE BETTER RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN BUT  
LIGHT SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE SUNDAY DURING THE DAY. SHOWERS WILL  
CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AS A COLD FRONT BRUSHES  
THE AREA. RAIN TOTALS WILL RANGE FROM A FEW HUNDRETHS IN NORTHERN  
AREAS UP TO 0.10" TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN BOARDER.  
 
NORTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP HIGHS IN THE 40S TO NEAR 50 MONDAY BUT  
THEN WE WILL SEE A RIDGE AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILD OVER THE AREA.  
THIS WILL BRING WIDESPREAD 50S BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. AN UPPER  
LEVEL TROUGH WILL KICK OUT OF THE WEST AT SOME POINT TOWARDS THE  
END OF THE WEEK AND MAY BRING SOME LIGHT SHOWERS TO THE AREA BUT  
THERE IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY ON WHEN AND WHERE THIS WILL HAPPEN.
