DISCUSSION

Issued at 1139 AM CST Thu Dec 25 2025

The broad area of upper level ridging which stretches across the southern CONUS will remain in place through the end of the week and into the weekend , with its axis draped across the ArkLaTex. Therefore, the next three days will see a continuation of the well- above average warmth and quiet weather pattern which has defined this week so far. As pseudo-zonal to variable to variable upper level flow and southerly surface flow continues, no rainfall is expected, but the warm and moist airmass will continue to allow the possibility for the development of patchy fog in the predawn hours for the next several mornings. Visibility reductions should be brief, but based on the last few mornings, the associated cloud cover may be stubborn, taking much of the morning to fully dissipate. With little in the way of variation, the next few afternoons will see highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s for area sites, with lows in the upper 50s to middle 60s.

By this weekend, an emerging upper level trough over the west coast will amplify as it advances eastward over the Four Corners region, developing a positive tilt as it does so. Upper level flow looks to cause the trough to stall over the Front Range before getting absorbed into a larger trough to its north, but it will still manage to swing a potent cold front into the ArkLaTex late Sunday overnight into Monday.

This front will kick up showers across our northwest beginning in the late afternoon to early evening Sunday, spreading across the ArkLaTex through the evening and overnight, with a few rumbles of thunder possible. The last of the showers should exit the region to the southeast by or shortly after sunrise Monday morning. Behind the front, cold air will rapidly advect into the Four State Region, dropping temperatures to near freezing northwest by daybreak Monday, and into the lower 40s south and east. Monday afternoon will see little in the way of recovery, as highs range from near 40 north to the lower 50s south.

Monday night into Tuesday morning looks to see sub-freezing temperatures areawide, ranging from the lower 20s north to upper 20s south. It will be advisable to make preparations to have precautions in place for sensitive persons, outdoor pets and vegetation, as well as exposed pipes. Tuesday will see a near carbon copy of Monday, with highs in the 40s and another night of sub-freezing lows to follow before Wednesday sees the beginning of a warming trend with highs returning to the 50s to close out the last afternoon of 2025.
