339 FXUS64 KEWX 080608 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 1208 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Well above normal highs midweek, slight cooldown after a frontal passage either Friday or Saturday. - Light freeze possible for some areas Tuesday morning. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 1205 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025 Monday we will see temps noticeably cooler than today as we continue to see some weak CAA preventing temps from rising much and staying in the low 60s for areas east of I-10 and mid to upper 60s west. Expect advective cooling continuing into Monday night with north winds followed by radiational cooling heading into Tuesday morning given clear skies and light winds. This will make temperatures pretty chilly around sunrise, where some rural locations may near the freezing mark. However, it looks to be quite limited and for most, locations that have already experienced a light freeze this season. Elsewhere, mid 30s to low 40s can be expected. By midday Tuesday surface winds return to a more southerly direction allowing for a boost to temps back above normal with many areas in the mid to upper 60s possibly approaching 70 in a few spots. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 1205 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025 For the long term, expect much more milder temps with many areas seeing lows remaining in the low to mid 40s. By Wednesday and Thursday low level southerly flow really ramps up allowing highs to soar into the upper 70s to near 80 Wednesday and Thursday. Lows during this period will also be much more mild with many areas staying in the upper 40s to low 50s. Our next front then approaches sometime around Friday or possibly even Saturday depending on which flavor model one trusts. It looks to remain rain free like the front that moved through this past Sunday and brings with it a slightly cooler airmass to the area into the start of the next weekend. The latest runs of the NBM show considerable uncertainty regarding the timing and strength of this front. Right now we are seeing a 20 degree spread regarding highs and lows for this upcoming weekend. This will be ironed out as we get closer and more model runs continue to refine our confidence. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1205 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025 VFR flight conditions continue with primarily clear skies. A few shallow low clouds may develop around sunrise in the Austin metro region, including KAUS. Light to moderate northerly breezes are expected to continue into this afternoon before subsiding and becoming more variable after sunset tonight. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
