DISCUSSION

Issued at 242 AM CST Tue Dec 9 2025

Today and tonight...Surface high pressure ridging will prevail over the area today, but will weaken across the area tonight. The surface high will shift east of the area and this will allow the flow to become more southerly this afternoon. Skies will clear this afternoon and temperatures will be a little warmer, with highs mostly in the 50s. Skies will remain clear overnight, with warmer lows ranging from the mid 30s in the east to around 40 in the west./15/

Overall, the prevailing upper-level pattern through the long term period looks to be rather subdued. Broad troughing over central CONUS this weekend, accompanied by multiple embedded shortwaves, will maintain lingering rain chances around the southern portions of the CWA, where a quasi-stationary boundary will remain just offshore of the Gulf Coast. Expect to see low to moderate rain chances at times, with temperatures generally in the 40s and 50s through this weekend. By early next week, the pattern will be more progressive as troughing shifts eastward and northwesterly flow aloft ushers in a cooler airmass behind a cold front. High pressure looks to build into the area by early-midweek, supporting a notable drop in temperatures. Lows Monday night may fall into the mid-20s areawide. Additionally, another cold front late in the period may bring additional rain chances toward the end of the forecast window.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 529 PM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

Low stratus is trying to erode across the region this evening, but it's currently struggling and thus looks to plague area TAF sites overnight into Tuesday morning. This, along with the potential for some patchy fog, mainly south of Interstate 20, will yield MVFR/IFR flight categories at TAF sites though at least late morning Tuesday. Stratus is currently forecast to gradually erode through late morning, with a return to VFR categories expected by midday. Winds overnight will be calm to light with an increasing easterly component. These will gradually become more southerly into Tuesday afternoon between 3-8 knots. /19/
