KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1046 AM CST Sat Dec 27 2025

- The weekend will finish above average with highs in the upper 70's and low 80's ahead of a pattern shift to start the new week.

- A robust cold front will slice across the region Sunday introducing rain chances along and ahead of the front.

- Seasonably cool highs in the 40's will settle behind the front, as overnight lows drop below freezing for much of the region Monday and Tuesday night. Temperatures rebound by the start of the new year.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1046 AM CST Sat Dec 27 2025

Overcast and around 3-5 deg F cooler when compared to this time yesterday. Regardless, temperatures remain above normal across the region with many communities sitting in the low and mid 70's. Given the clouds in place, and considering they are hanging around a touch longer versus yesterday, highs should only top out in the upper 70's to near 80 as we approach the peak heating hours of the afternoon. Overnight, little to no change from last night as lows will again settle in the low and middle 60's.

The main weather feature in the short term will be the influence of a cold front associated with a diving clipper low out of Alberta that will swing the aforementioned boundary across the local area Sunday. Prefontal moisture should be sufficient enough to allow for showers to line the boundary as it moves through, with just enough instability to allow for a stray thunderstorm or two. That being said, severe weather is not anticipated at this time.

Behind the front, temperatures will drop significantly for the start of the new week as highs on Monday only climb into the 40's to near 50 deg F. At the same time, breezy northwest winds will allow for afternoon temperatures to feel a few degrees cooler. Overnight Monday into Tuesday, the influence of the advecting airmass will be felt as temperatures fall below freezing for just about everyone, with lows in the low 20's possible across portions of SE Oklahoma and SW Arkansas. Temperatures will rebound quickly as highs in the upper 50's and low 60's will bring us to the eve of the new year, with highs in the middle 60's by the first of the year. One point to make in all of this is that outside of the precip associated with the passing boundary tomorrow afternoon, the majority of the 7 period is dry. That being said, long range guidance in the Climate Prediction Center 8-14 outlook suggests that we will be leaning above normal in the precip category, while temperatures continue to hold above normal through the first week of January.
