.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 245 AM CDT Sat Nov 1 2025

Sky conditions ranged from overcast to mostly cloudy on this
first morning of November. Temperatures were in the mid 40s to
mid 50s and winds were nearly calm. Skies will remain cloudy
through much of today as a cold front approaches and sweeps across
the state from the Cntrl Plains.

Synoptically, an upper level closed low will drop SEwrd into the
Mid/Upper MS Valley today. Scattered showers are anticipated to
develop behind the cold front in close proximity to the H850
front. Precipitation chances should be highest over roughly the
N/NE half of the state and precip mode should be stratiform in
nature. QPF amounts should generally range from a couple
hundredths of an inch up to a couple tenths of an inch. In the
wake of the cold front, upper level flow will become NWrly once
again. Early next week an upper level ridge will slide Ewrd out of
the Four Corners region into the Srn Plains. Afterwards, the
ridge will become stationary over the Gulf. Upper level flow will
be zonal favoring a moderating trend in temperatures and absence
of mentionable PoPs, at least until Friday when low end rain
chances return to the region.

On the heels of Saturdays cold front skies will clear from NW to SE.
High pressure will settle into the region through Monday.
Unseasonably cool temperatures will accompany the surface high.
Currently, a freeze watch is in place across W, NW, and Nrn AR for
Sunday morning where temperatures are likely to fall to or well
below the freezing mark (upper 20s). Nearby, but just outside of
these areas will be monitored for frost potential, but winds will
need to be monitored. Too high of winds could preclude frost
formation.

Additional frost conditions will be possible on Monday morning. The
setup should have the surface high positioned to the SE of AR with
winds going nearly calm under clear skies. Areas further S and E
would be susceptible to frost. Temperatures will begin to warm as
surface high pressure slides E of the state and winds become
SWrly through mid-to-late week. As already mentioned, PoP chances
could return by Friday associated with a progressive upper level
feature.
