  returning Sunday.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Friday night)
Issued at 1108 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025

Snow has ended and skies are gradually clearing across the Texas
and Oklahoma Panhandles this afternoon, as last night`s system
translates eastward out of the forecast area. These clearing skies
and light winds will be conducive for temperatures to bottom out
in the teens and 20s tonight, with even light winds making it feel
a few degrees cooler. If any areas are able to cool down enough to
reach saturation at the surface, localized patchy freezing fog
can`t be ruled out overnight into Friday morning. Hi-res guidance
suggests this potential favors the northern and eastern
Panhandles, with 20-50% probabilities for visibility to drop below
1 mile at times. Freezing Fog can also create slick spots on the
roads, so be careful if you encounter fog during the morning
commute. Friday will be a slightly warmer day with highs in the
upper 40s to low 50s, followed by another chilly night in the 20s.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 1108 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025

The synoptic pattern this weekend into next week will be
characterized by northwest flow aloft, with relatively dry air
masses in place. This will allow a front to draw cold air
advection to the region Sunday, with highs in the 40s to low 50s.
Otherwise, a warming trend is forecast with near to above average
highs in the 50s and 60s each day. Overnight lows will be in the
20s and 30s. Winds will be typical for this time of year.

(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1108 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025

Snow has dissipated, and low cloud decks are expected to lift and
thin out this afternoon. Winds will stay out of the west -
southwest at 5-15 kts until a weak front turns winds to northerly
towards the end of the period.
