KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1222 AM CST Tue Dec 30 2025

- Cold air advection will continue across the region for another 24 hours before temperatures begin to moderate by mid-week.

- High pressure will dominate and maintain dry conditions before shifting east by late week, marking a return of southerly winds and extending the warming trend through Friday.

- The next weather disturbance will arrive late Friday, ushering another cold front through the region with only a modest drop in temperatures and little if any chance of needed rainfall.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1222 AM CST Tue Dec 30 2025

Mid-level cloud cover has been a bit slower to exit the region than expected through the overnight hours, holding temperatures slightly higher than would otherwise be the case under clear skies. However, do anticipate a gradual southward clearing of these clouds through the remainder of this early morning along with a steady downward trend in winds as high pressure builds into the region from the west. This will allow temperatures to drop off closer to freezing by daybreak across the remainder of our CWA with only a modest recovery expected by later on today as afternoon highs will only reach the mid 40s to lower 50s. Fortunately, the lighter wind speeds combined with abundant sunshine will at least make it feel a bit more tolerable this afternoon for those attending the Independence Bowl game.

One more very cold night will follow as winds further diminish tonight under mostly clear skies. This will promote very good radiational cooling with temperature quickly dropping off after sunset and eventually bottoming out in the mid and upper 20s to lower 30s. Beyond that, look for a steady warming trend through the remainder of this week as high pressure gradually shifts to the east. As a result, southerly winds will return by Thursday and continue through Friday to further push temperatures even higher into the 60s and 70s as we begin the new year on a warm note.

By late Friday into Friday night, a weak shortwave disturbance will arrive and help usher another cold front into the region. However, this Pacific front will come through almost entirely dry with only a modest drop off in temperatures for the weekend. In fact, we should remain slightly above average temperature wise with weak upper-level ridging quickly building back in behind the departing cold front. Unfortunately, the downside to additional lack of rainfall through the next 7 days is a further degradation of our ongoing drought across the region.
