KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1155 PM CST Tue Dec 30 2025

- Above normal temperatures and dry conditions expected for much of the next week.

NEAR TERM

(Rest of tonight through Wednesday) Issued at 1155 PM CST Tue Dec 30 2025

Fairly tranquil weather is expected today with light northwest winds this morning becoming southwest by this afternoon. Downslope flow and warming mid-level temperatures will help boost highs several more degrees compared to yesterday, into the upper 50s to mid 60s. Lows tonight will then drop to the upper 20s to middle 30s under mainly clear skies.

Ware

SHORT TERM

(Wednesday night through Thursday night) Issued at 1155 PM CST Tue Dec 30 2025

A surface low will begin to deepen across the panhandles on Thursday as a shortwave trough traverses the central Rockies. Expect a north-south gradient in high temperatures Thursday afternoon as a pseudo warm front begins to develop across the area, but there is some uncertainty on exactly how warm temperatures will be as model spread remains about 10 degrees in most locations between the NBM25th-NBM75th percentiles. For now we have mid 50s forecast across northern Oklahoma to mid 60s along and south of the Red River.

The surface low will track eastward in the vicinity of the Red River Thursday night into Friday, shifting winds to northerly, though not much airmass change is expected with highs Friday expected to be similar to Thursday. No precipitation is expected with this system.

Ware

LONG TERM

(Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 1218 AM CST Wed Dec 31 2025

Upper ridging will build over the central US this weekend, with rising heights and warming mid-level temperatures leading to the return of well above normal temperatures. Highs Sunday and Monday are forecast to range from the mid 60s to near 80 degrees. The general longwave pattern is highly likely to persist into next week, meaning above normal temperatures and dry conditions are favored to continue for the next 7-10 days.

Ware

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 604 AM CST Wed Dec 31 2025

No significant weather concerns for aviation. VFR conditions are expected with a generally light wind generally from the northwest or southwest.
