Issued at 145 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 - Showers will diminish from west to east this morning ahead of a cold front which will move across the state today - Substantial cool down and drier weather conditions are expected Wednesday through Friday behind a secondary cold front - Unsettled weather returns over the weekend into early next week && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 145 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 Scattered showers were ongoing across portions of the state early this morning ahead of a weak cold front. Temps ranged from the mid 50s to mid 60s under cloudy skies. Patchy fog was also noted scattered about via ASOS/AWOS sites and ARDOT weather stations. The cold front will swiftly bring precip to an end from NW to SE later this morning. A secondary, more potent, cold front will push across the state late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Winds on Wednesday will be breezy, 15-25 mph, out of the N/NW thanks to tight PGF in place. Strong area of high pressure will settle into the region on Thursday beneath NW flow aloft. Temps will fall below climatological averages Wednesday through Friday. No rainfall is expected during this period of time while high pressure is in control. Low temps could be at or below freezing across a good portion of the state Thursday and Friday mornings. High temps Wednesday through Friday should range from the upper 40s to mid 50s. By Friday, upper level flow should transition to zonal. Surface winds will switch around to the SE as a new surface low develops over the Cntrl Plains. An upper level impulse traversing zonal flow will move across the MS Valley on Saturday. Precip is expected to develop and move across the state Saturday into Sunday. By Monday, upper level winds should transition to the SW and the resultant weather pattern becomes much more unclear based on long term guidance. Stay tuned for the latest forecast updates. && .AVIATION...
