DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1128 AM CST WED NOV 5 2025
UNDER SUNNY SKIES, TODAY'S TEMPERATURES ARE CLIMBING ON TRACK TO
REACH THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S BY LATE AFTERNOON, FOLLOWED BY A
MILDER NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S TO MIDDLE 50S THURSDAY
MORNING. MEANWHILE, THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH,
WITH PSEUDOZONAL FLOW REMAINING IN PLACE FOR THE NEXT DAY OR TWO
BEFORE A TROUGH SWINGS SOUTH LATE IN THE WEEK. THIS LOOKS TO BE
ASSOCIATED WITH A MOSTLY DRY FRONTAL PASSAGE, THE ONLY CHANCES OF
RAIN BEING LOCATED IN OUR SOUTHEASTERNMOST ZONES, PARTICULARLY
LASALLE PARISH, THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY. THESE MEAGER AND LIMITED
POPS ARE THE ONLY RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE ARKLATEX THROUGHOUT THE
WEEK AHEAD. SUFFICE TO SAY, DRY CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN THE
WEATHER STORY FOR THE TIME BEING.
THE FRONT WHICH CLOSES OUT THIS WEEK WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A MUCH
MORE PRONOUNCED AND CONSEQUENTIAL TROUGH GOING INTO THE WEEKEND.
AS RIDGING AMPLIFIES OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND A DEEPENING
LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES TAKES SHAPE, UPPER LEVEL FLOW OVER THE
FOUR STATE REGION WILL TRANSITION TO NORTHERLY AS THE ASSOCIATED
TROUGH PLUNGES SOUTHWARDS TOWARDS THE GULF COAST. THIS PATTERN
SHIFT WILL SEE US SWING DRAMATICALLY FROM HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE 80S
LATE IN THE WEEK THROUGH SATURDAY TO HIGHS ONLY IN THE 50S MONDAY
AFTERNOON WITH WHAT IS SHAPING UP TO BE OUR FIRST ARCTIC AIRMASS
OF THE SEASON. LOWS ON MONDAY MORNING LOOK TO BE NEAR OR JUST
ABOVE FREEZING SOUTH OF I-20, FALLING BELOW FREEZING TO THE NORTH.
SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS REGARDING EXACT TEMPERATURE VALUES, BUT
THIS CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON SO FAR.
NORTHERLY FLOW LOOKS TO REMAIN IN PLACE, SHIFTING TO NORTHWESTERLY
AND USHERING IN A GRADUAL WARM UP BY THE END OF THIS EXTENDED
FORECAST PERIOD.
