PLEASANT FALL CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED FOR MUCH OF THIS FORECAST
PERIOD, BEGINNING TODAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SITS SOUTHEAST OF THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. BREEZY SOUTH WINDS ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE
OF THE RIDGE AXIS HAVE BUMPED TEMPS UP INTO THE MID/UPPER 50S
WITH SUNNY SKIES. THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF WEAK SURFACE
BOUNDARIES WILL MOVE THROUGH THE CWA TONIGHT, SHIFTING WINDS TO
THE NORTH/NORTHEAST. TEMPERATURES DIP INTO MID/UPPER 30S TONIGHT
BUT RECOVER NICELY INTO THE MID 60S TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE EXPANDS NORTHWARD. TUESDAY LOOKS TO BE THE
WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK WITH A WAA PATTERN TAKING TEMPS INTO THE
LOW 70S.
SUBSEQUENT SURFACE BOUNDARIES WILL MOVE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA
EVERY OTHER NIGHT WITH THE NEXT ONE EXPECTED LATE TUESDAY NIGHT,
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER THURSDAY NIGHT. DESPITE THE FREQUENCY OF
BOUNDARIES, THERE WILL NOT BE MUCH DIFFERENCE TO SENSIBLE CONDITIONS
DAY-TO-DAY. HIGH PRESSURE FOLLOWS EACH FRONT, ALONG WITH QUICK WIND
SHIFTS TO THE NORTH. THUS, HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL FLUCTUATE UP AND
DOWN SLIGHTLY EACH DAY THROUGH THE WORKWEEK, BUT WILL MAINLY STAY IN
THE 60S. PRECIP CHANCES REMAIN LOW (LESS THAN 10%) WITH EACH
PASSING FRONT DUE TO LIMITED TIME FOR MOISTURE ADVECTION AND
WEAK ASCENT WITH EACH PASSING BOUNDARY. A STRONGER, MORE POLAR
BASED FRONT COULD IMPACT THE AREA NEXT WEEKEND, ALTHOUGH MODEL
SPREAD IN TEMPERATURES IS QUITE HIGH AT THIS TIME.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
ISSUED AT 1131 AM CST SUN NOV 2 2025
SOUTHERLY SFC WINDS WILL BE BREEZY AT 10 TO 15 KTS, GUSTING 20
TO 25 KTS THIS AFTERNOON PRIOR TO SUNSET. IT APPEARS THAT THE
BOUNDARY LAYER WILL DECOUPLE AHEAD OF A WIND SHIFT TONIGHT,
CAUSING WINDS TO BE LESS THAN 5 KTS AS THEY VEER FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH. THIS COULD CREATE A FEW HOURS OF MARGINAL LLWS WITH A 35
TO 40 KT SOUTHWESTERLY LLJ, MAINLY PRIOR TO 07Z. THERE IS ALSO A
LOW CHANCE (10-15%) OF SHALLOW FOG DEVELOPMENT AGAIN NEAR KTOP
AROUND SUNRISE MONDAY. THIS IS NOT INCLUDED IN TAFS AT THIS
TIME DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE.
TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
NONE.
