GUSTY WINDS WILL SUBSIDE SOON, AS INCREASING HIGH PRESSURE
RELAXES THE GRADIENT. THE HIGH SHIFTS EAST TONIGHT, RESUMING A
SOUTHERLY RETURN FETCH THAT WARMS US UP NICELY TMRW. IT'LL BE
OFFSET A LITTLE BIT BY THE APPROACH OF OUR NEXT FRONT, SO THE
GRADIENT INCREASES AGAIN AND WE GET SOME GUSTY SATURDAY WINDS
AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM. ITS PASSAGE SATURDAY EVENING GIVES US
ANOTHER, SIMILAR TO TODAY'S COLD BLAST BEFORE NEXT WEEK'S
WARMUP ENSUES. WE'LL REACH THE 60S FOR HIGHS BY TUESDAY, AND
THAT'LL CARRY-ON THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE HOLIDAY WEEK.
SMALLISH DAILY RAIN CHANCES RETURN WITH THE WARMUP.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1235 PM CST FRI DEC 19 2025
HIGH PRESSURE'S INCREASING STRENGTH OF HOLD WILL RELAX
WINDS/GUSTS AND SCOUR THE LAST VESTIGES OF LINGERING CLOUDS
SAVE FOR FEW-SCT HIGH BASES THAT MAY PEPPER THE SKY FROM TIME-
TO-TIME. THE HIGH'S SHIFT EASTWARD WILL ALLOW SOUTHERLY RETURN
FLOW TO DEVELOP OVER THE BACK HALF OF THE FORECAST, WITH SOME
INCREASE IN SPEED/GUSTS BY THE END OF THE PLANNING PHASE HOURS
OF THE FORECAST, AS THE NEXT SYSTEM BEGINS ITS APPROACH AND
TIGHTENS UP THE GRADIENT BETWEEN IT AND THE AFOREMENTIONED DEPARTED
HIGH TO THE EAST.
