.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 329 PM CDT Sat Nov 1 2025

Despite cooler-than-normal temperatures, clearing skies and
decreasing winds has resulted in a fairly pleasant day as we
kick off the month of November. A few high clouds will move
through the area this evening into tonight, but temperatures are
expected to dip below freezing across the area tonight into
Sunday morning.

Southerly winds return on Sunday as ridging builds over the
central CONUS. This should help temperatures reach the 60s and
even 70s in western zones. This significant warmup will result
in humidity values down around 20 percent Sunday afternoon west
of Highway 283, and occasional gusts over 20 MPH may result in
elevated fire weather conditions.

A cold front moves through Sunday night. This, combined with
increased cloud cover, will knock temperatures back into the
upper 50s and 60s for Monday. Temperatures then rebound the
60s and 70s on Tuesday but will be bumped back into the 50s on
60s on Wednesday as an upper shortwave pushes another cold
front through the area.

Ridging re-establishes for Thursday/Friday, and ensembles
continue to show high confidence in dry conditions through the
end of the week. The next potential for any precipitation would
be Friday into next Saturday a stronger frontal system. Even
then, potential is fairly low (5-15%), and details remain
uncertain.
