KEY MESSAGES

- Additional light rain is possible across Central Texas on Friday with chances of 20%. No rain is anticipated from Saturday through next week. - Near to below normal temperatures will continue through Monday, with above normal temperatures expected the rest of next week.

SHORT TERM

(This afternoon through Friday) Issued at 1109 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025

Latest radar imagery shows what's left of this morning's rain and drizzle continues to shift quickly eastward out of the area, with all precipitation expected to be gone by 19Z if not sooner. In its wake, cold and cloudy conditions will continue the rest of today into tonight with highs only in the 40s this afternoon and lows dropping into the upper 20s and 30s. Some patchy fog could occur overnight as a 1021mb surface high settles over the Hill Country, giving us light winds and low dewpoint depressions. However, extensive and thick cloud cover should keep any fog from becoming widespread.

Another wave of light rain is expected to develop across South Texas on Friday morning as a secondary positive tilt H5 trough approaches from northern Mexico. Some of this light rain may spread into our southern counties late Friday morning into Friday afternoon per 12Z guidance, although bulk of any rain will stay off to our south. Despite any light rain, highs should be much warmer on Friday than today thanks to southerly winds, reaching the 50s to low 60s.

LONG TERM

(Friday night through next Wednesday) Issued at 1109 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025

A lengthy dry and quiet period of weather is expected from Friday night through all of next week as our region will remain dominated by dry northwesterly flow aloft. Temperatures look to be near to slightly below normal over the weekend with lows in the 30s/40s and highs in the 50s/60s. A cold front moving through on Sunday will knock temps back down for Sunday night and Monday, with lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s and highs in the 50s. A warmup begins on Tuesday and continues through the rest of next week as southerly winds return, boosting temps above normal with highs up into the 60s/70s.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 505 PM CST Thu Dec 4 2025

Post-frontal MVFR stratus at 1000-2000 ft will remain anchored across the TAF sites through at least 06z before gradually scattering to VFR between 06-10z. A north wind at 5-10 kts will prevail through this time period as well, before winds return to light southerly after 10z tomorrow morning. VFR skies with BKN/OVC cirrus will then prevail through the rest of the daytime. Additional fog and low stratus will arrive around or after 06z Saturday morning, just beyond the current extended DFW TAF period.
