KEY MESSAGES

- Areas of fog and low clouds will develop and linger through midday Sunday. A cold front will move through this morning with breezy north winds and cooler air behind it. - Near to below normal temperatures will continue through Monday, with above normal temperatures expected the rest of next week.

SHORT TERM

(Tonight through Monday) Issued at 1220 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

Satellite imagery shows an expansive area of low clouds to our north and to our south with most of Central and North Texas under clear skies at this hour. Some patchy dense fog has developed mainly north of I-20, but this is expected to increase in coverage through the overnight hours. At the surface, a weak area of low pressure is centered near Abilene with weak southerly winds across our region. This is helping to maintain low to mid 40s dewpoints as temperatures fall under mostly clear skies. This should continue to promote some fog development through the late overnight hours. Meanwhile, a shortwave trough is swinging out of the central Rockies and into the Plains and will eventually send a cold front through the region later this morning. Winds will initially begin to shift to the north prior to sunrise as the surface low moves off to the east. As these winds turn more northerly, the bank of low clouds to the north should expand in coverage and spread south through the early morning hours. Widespread low clouds and fog are expected through late morning across the region. As the upper disturbance continues eastward, northerly winds will increase in speed and become breezy by midday. This should drag some drier air into North Texas and will quickly erode the low clouds and any lingering fog. High temperatures will only manage to reach into the low to mid 50s, but brisk north winds will make it feel quite a bit cooler through the afternoon.

Clear skies and diminishing winds will result in a cold night Sunday night with lows in the mid 20s across our north and northwest counties. Lower 30s are expected elsewhere. Monday will be sunny and cool with highs in the 50s.

LONG TERM

(Monday night through next Saturday) Issued at 1220 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

The upcoming week will feature steadily warming temperatures through Thursday as mid level ridging expands to our west. Highs will climb into the 60s on Tuesday and may approach 80 degrees across parts of our Central TX counties by Thursday afternoon. An amplifying trough over the eastern CONUS will send a strong cold front through the Southern Plains late Thursday with much colder air filtering into the region for Friday and Saturday. Highs will struggle to get out of the 40s in some areas with overnight lows in the low to mid 20s expected Friday night. No precipitation is expected at this time through the week.

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1220 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

VFR prevails at the major airports at this hour, but widespread fog and low clouds are expected to overtake much of the region over the next several hours. We'll show deteriorating conditions by 10Z with BKN004 cigs spreading in from the north along with some reduced visibility. While visibility has dropped to less than 1 mile in areas to the north of DFW...low clouds may be the main concern through the mid morning hours. We'll carry a TEMPO for 1SM vis but have OVC003 cigs in place. IFR cigs are expected to persist through late morning before rapid clearing takes place early this afternoon.

Winds will shift from southeast to north around 10Z ahead of the stronger push of cooler air behind the cold front. North winds will increase in speed by mid morning and become gusty through the afternoon. VFR is expected Sunday night into early Monday morning.
