DISCUSSION
Issued at 206 PM CST Mon Dec 29 2025
A cold airmass remains firmly in place across the region with temperatures struggling to warm into the middle 20s under full insolation. Current gusty northwest winds will relax before sunset. Lows tonight will once again fall into the teens under optimal radiational cooling conditions.
The overall upcoming weather pattern will feature persistent west to northwest flow aloft, resulting in dry weather and near/above normal temperatures through the weekend. A weak surface front should push south and become stationary across portions of the forecast area on Thursday and Friday, aiding weak CAA and hence a slight cooldown compared to Wednesday's high temperatures. Upper ridge begins to flatten out some by the end of the weekend into early next week, but still increasing probabilities to yield max temps 10-15 degrees above normal. Looking well ahead, we may start to see a larger pattern change to more west to southwest flow aloft that would aid in improved chances for precipitation by the second or third week in January.
