.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Sunday night)
Issued at 1130 AM CST Sat Nov 8 2025
Breezy to gusty north winds will continue through at least mid
afternoon in the wake of the cold frontal passage earlier this
morning. CAA in the lower levels will filter in over the southern
High Plains tonight through Sunday night. Highs Sunday afternoon
will be below average due to the cooler air mass in place, with
highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s. Overnight lows tonight and
Sunday night will also be below average, with Sunday night having
the colder temperatures. Lows Sunday night are forecast to be in
the 20s, but cannot rule out a few areas reaching the teens. A
Freeze Warning has been issued for the southeastern Texas
Panhandle and with this being a hard freeze for the entire area,
the growing season will officially be over for the Panhandles
after Sunday night.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 1130 AM CST Sat Nov 8 2025
North to northwest flow is expected to prevail across much of the
Plains this week as troughing will remain to the east and west of
central CONUS during this time. Highs on Monday will increase in
response to this pattern, with forecast highs in the 60s. The
warming trend will continue through the rest of the week given
weak high pressure in place over the region. Highs each afternoon
will mainly be in the 70s with a few breezy days early and late
week. Troughing may start to move east towards the Rockies at the
end of the week but model trends remain uncertain on how this
feature will evolve heading into next weekend.
