128 FXUS64 KFWD 071118 AFDFWD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 518 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Areas of dense fog will linger through mid morning. A cold front is moving through North Texas and north winds will increase and become breezy through the afternoon. - Near to below normal temperatures will continue through Monday, with above normal temperatures expected the rest of next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Monday) Issued at 1220 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 Satellite imagery shows an expansive area of low clouds to our north and to our south with most of Central and North Texas under clear skies at this hour. Some patchy dense fog has developed mainly north of I-20, but this is expected to increase in coverage through the overnight hours. At the surface, a weak area of low pressure is centered near Abilene with weak southerly winds across our region. This is helping to maintain low to mid 40s dewpoints as temperatures fall under mostly clear skies. This should continue to promote some fog development through the late overnight hours. Meanwhile, a shortwave trough is swinging out of the central Rockies and into the Plains and will eventually send a cold front through the region later this morning. Winds will initially begin to shift to the north prior to sunrise as the surface low moves off to the east. As these winds turn more northerly, the bank of low clouds to the north should expand in coverage and spread south through the early morning hours. Widespread low clouds and fog are expected through late morning across the region. As the upper disturbance continues eastward, northerly winds will increase in speed and become breezy by midday. This should drag some drier air into North Texas and will quickly erode the low clouds and any lingering fog. High temperatures will only manage to reach into the low to mid 50s, but brisk north winds will make it feel quite a bit cooler through the afternoon. Clear skies and diminishing winds will result in a cold night Sunday night with lows in the mid 20s across our north and northwest counties. Lower 30s are expected elsewhere. Monday will be sunny and cool with highs in the 50s. Dunn && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through next Saturday) Issued at 1220 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 The upcoming week will feature steadily warming temperatures through Thursday as mid level ridging expands to our west. Highs will climb into the 60s on Tuesday and may approach 80 degrees across parts of our Central TX counties by Thursday afternoon. An amplifying trough over the eastern CONUS will send a strong cold front through the Southern Plains late Thursday with much colder air filtering into the region for Friday and Saturday. Highs will struggle to get out of the 40s in some areas with overnight lows in the low to mid 20s expected Friday night. No precipitation is expected at this time through the week.
