DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 156 AM CST THU NOV 13 2025
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVING OFF TO OUR EAST WILL BRING A RETURN
OF SOUTHERLY WINDS TODAY, PERSISTING INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL
RESULT IN A WARMING TREND TODAY INTO SATURDAY, WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES AROUND 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
LOWS BY FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE CLOSE TO WHAT OUR NORMAL HIGHS
SHOULD BE. WITH THE RETURN OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE, THE MODEL
BLEND CONTINUES TO PRODUCE SMALL CHANCES OF SPRINKLES OR A LIGHT
SHOWER EAST OF INTERSTATE 69 FRIDAY MORNING, AND LIGHT SHOWERS IN
SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND MOST OF WEST KENTUCKY SATURDAY EVENING.
ANY AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LIGHT.
THE CHANCES SATURDAY EVENING WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSAGE
OF A COLD FRONT. AHEAD OF THE FRONT, BREEZY SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY WITH GUSTS AROUND 25 MPH IN
THE AFTERNOON. THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY PUSH THROUGH THE PAH
FORECAST AREA SATURDAY EVENING, SHIFTING WIND TO THE NORTHWEST.
COOLER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BRING TEMPERATURES BACK DOWN
TO MORE SEASONABLE READINGS FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
AS WE GET INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, MODELS SHOW LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING SOMEWHERE OVER THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS, WITH A
WARM FRONT EXTENDING EASTWARD INTO OUR REGION. MODELS DIFFER
QUITE A BIT WITH THE LOCATION OF THE LOW AND THE FRONT, SO THERE
IS STILL UNCERTAINTY IN THE TIMING AND LOCATION OF THE BEST
CHANCES OF SHOWERS, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY THUNDERSTORMS. THE
MODEL BLEND CURRENTLY PRODUCES THE BEST CHANCES MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY MORNING, WITH AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE
MONDAY EVENING NEAR THE KENTUCKY/TENNESSEE BORDER. SHOWER
CHANCES WILL LINGER INTO MID WEEK WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
REMAINING DRAPED ACROSS OUR REGION, BUT MORE FORECAST
ADJUSTMENTS ARE LIKELY. IN ANY CASE, OUR REGION WILL SEE A MORE
UNSETTLED PATTERN MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
