DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1151 AM CST THU NOV 6 2025
ONCE AGAIN, THE MAIN STORIES IN THIS FORECAST WILL BE FOG AND
FREEZING TEMPS, WITH ELEVATING FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS AND JUST MAYBE
A DASH OF RAINFALL FOR SOME ZONES THIS WEEKEND.
CONFIDENCE IN FOG IS LESSENED TONIGHT COMPARED TO LAST NIGHT,
LARGELY DUE TO WINDS LOOKING TO REMAIN MORE SUSTAINED, PREVENTING AS
WIDESPREAD CALMING AND FOG DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, DEW POINT
DEPRESSIONS AND RECENT OVERPERFORMANCE COMPARED TO GUIDANCE HAVE
PROMPTED INCLUDING PATCHY FOG FOR MANY OF THE SAME IMPACTED ZONES
FOR SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE ARKLATEX. ANY IMPACTS LOOK
TO BEGIN IN THE PREDAWN HOURS AND BURN OFF QUICKLY BY MIDMORNING.
OTHERWISE, THE END OF THE WORKWEEK AND BEGINNING OF THE WEEKEND WILL
BE DEFINED BY WARM AFTERNOONS AND MILD NIGHTS, WITH HIGHS RANGING
FROM THE MIDDLE 70S TO MIDDLE 80S AND LOWS IN THE 50S AND 60S.
THIS WARM PATTERN WILL BE DRAMATICALLY AND SWIFTLY ENDED DURING THE
LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND. LATE SATURDAY, A POWERFUL COLD FRONT
WILL PUSH THROUGH THE ARKLATEX, ADVECTING NOT ONLY COLDER BUT DRIER
AIR INTO THE REGION. RECENT GUIDANCE HAS CONSISTENTLY DEPICTED THIS
AS A DRY FRONTAL PASSAGE, BUT THE LATEST ENSEMBLE MEMBERS,
PARTICULARLY THE ECMWF, ARE INDICATING JUST ENOUGH OF A PUSH OF
MOISTURE ACROSS OUR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES OVERNIGHT SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY MORNING TO MERIT LOWER END POPS FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS.
LOWS SUNDAY MORNING WILL NOT BE TOO DRAMATIC, SEEING MORE 40S NORTH
BUT STILL 50S SOUTH. HOWEVER, DAYTIME HIGHS WILL REBOUND VERY
LITTLE, ONLY INTO THE 50S AND 60S. SUSTAINED NORTH WINDS OF 10 TO 15
KTS WITH GUSTS OF UP TO 25 KTS POSSIBLE COMBINED WITH VERY DRY
CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO POTENTIAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THROUGH THE
DAY SUNDAY.
THE MAIN EVENT, SUCH AS IT IS, OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD, WILL BE THE
NEAR- AND SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES WHICH INVADE THE REGION BY
DAYBREAK ON MONDAY. THE LATEST GUIDANCE TENDS TO KEEP FREEZING AND
SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 20S AND LOWER 30S NORTH OF THE
I-20 CORRIDOR, WITH ZONES SOUTH IN THE LOW TO MIDDLE 30S, FOLLOWED
BY HIGHS IN THE 50S AREAWIDE AND ANOTHER NIGHT OF UPPER 20S NORTH
AND LOW TO MIDDLE 30S SOUTH INTO TUESDAY MORNING. 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.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1028 AM CST THU NOV 6 2025
AFTER QUITE A BIT OF DENSE FOG ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OUR
AIRSPACE EARLY THIS MORNING, THE SUN HAS BURNED OFF THE FOG AND
LOW CEILINGS ARE JUST ABOUT GONE SUCH THAT WE SHOULD HAVE VFR
CONDITIONS PREVAILING TO BEGIN THE 18Z TAF PACKAGE. WE SHOULD KEEP
THOSE CONDITIONS PREVAILING THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING HOURS
BEFORE WE SHOULD SEE THE REDEVELOPMENT OF MVFR/IFR CEILINGS AND
SOME PATCHY DENSE FOG AS WELL. WE SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH WIND
OVERNIGHT TO KEEP FOG FROM BECOMING TOO DENSE ACROSS OUR AIRSPACE
BUT THE LOW CLOUD COVER SHOULD BE WIDESPREAD OVERNIGHT THROUGH THE
TAIL END OF THIS TAF PACKAGE GIVEN THE STRONGER LOW LEVEL PRESSURE
GRADIENT IN PLACE OVERNIGHT AND ON FRIDAY. KEPT MVFR CEILINGS
AREAWIDE THROUGH 18Z ON FRIDAY THOUGH THIS MAY BE A LITTLE
PESSIMISTIC DEPENDING ON JUST HOW FAST WE SEE THESE CEILINGS RISE
TOWARDS THE TAIL END OF THE TAF PERIOD.
