.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 242 AM CST Tue Dec 9 2025

Today and tonight...Surface high pressure ridging will prevail over
the area today, but will weaken across the area tonight. The surface
high will shift east of the area and this will allow the flow to
become more southerly this afternoon. Skies will clear this
afternoon and temperatures will be a little warmer, with highs
mostly in the 50s. Skies will remain clear overnight, with warmer
lows ranging from the mid 30s in the east to around 40 in the
west./15/

Overall, the prevailing upper-level pattern through the long term
period looks to be rather subdued. Broad troughing over central CONUS
this weekend, accompanied by multiple embedded shortwaves, will
maintain lingering rain chances around the southern portions of the
CWA, where a quasi-stationary boundary will remain just offshore of
the Gulf Coast. Expect to see low to moderate rain chances at times,
with temperatures generally in the 40s and 50s through this weekend.
By early next week, the pattern will be more progressive as
troughing shifts eastward and northwesterly flow aloft ushers in a
cooler airmass behind a cold front. High pressure looks to build
into the area by early-midweek, supporting a notable drop in
temperatures. Lows Monday night may fall into the mid-20s areawide.
Additionally, another cold front late in the period may bring
additional rain chances toward the end of the forecast window.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 529 PM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

Low stratus is trying to erode across the region this evening,
but it`s currently struggling and thus looks to plague area TAF
sites overnight into Tuesday morning. This, along with the
potential for some patchy fog, mainly south of Interstate 20, will
yield MVFR/IFR flight categories at TAF sites though at least
late morning Tuesday. Stratus is currently forecast to gradually
erode through late morning, with a return to VFR categories
expected by midday. Winds overnight will be calm to light with an
increasing easterly component. These will gradually become more
southerly into Tuesday afternoon between 3-8 knots. /19/
