(Tonight through Saturday) Issued at 1133 PM CST Thu Dec 4 2025 Skies will continue to clear for most of the area overnight, although SW winds will slightly increase to near 10 mph which will help to moderate lows and keep them generally in the mid-to-upper 20s. Freezing fog remains possible over the far SE Panhandle where winds will be a bit lighter and moisture somewhat more abundant. Any fog that develops there as a result will occur near sunrise and should burn off thereafter. Westerly downsloping winds and further clearing will bring about a rebound to temperatures this afternoon. Both the upper and low level jet cores remains south of our area and as such the far SW Panhandle will only see highs in the low 50s closest to the core of the cold airmass. Otherwise, the rest of the area will see highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Winds will diminish in to the evening and veer to the northwest into the evening. && .LONG TERM...
