.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 209 PM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

A northwest flow regime continues over the region for several days
which will result in dry weather persisting with up and down
temperatures during the week. Westerly downslope effects will be
maximized tomorrow which will boost temperatures well above normal.
This could allow daytime highs to become somewhat closer to mixed
out low level thickness values unless some high clouds move
overhead. Next cold front pushes southward into Kansas Tuesday night
with cooler temperatures on Wednesday, but values will still be
above normal. The weather pattern cycle then repeats for Thursday
into Friday. Downslope effects warm temperatures well above normal
for Thursday with next cold front sinking southward Thursday night.
Cooler temperatures will follow for Friday and extend through the
weekend. Long range models are highlighting another reinforcing push
of shallow cold air arriving for Saturday night into Sunday. Sunday
could be the coldest day over the next 7 days.
