.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 112 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

In the wake of yesterday`s cold front, sfc ridging will briefly
build in from the NW today which will provide cool temperatures to
the area. Sfc ridging will quickly shift east for Tuesday and low
level winds will turn out of the SW. This will provide warming
temperatures through midweek across the state.

This warmup will come to an end by late week as a strong mid-level cyclone
rotates its way south toward the Great Lakes. A corresponding
H500 trough is expected to move from the Upper MS Valley toward
the Mid-Atlantic Wednesday into Thursday. At the sfc, a cold front
will move across the state, providing slightly cooler
temperatures. From Friday into Saturday another mid-level trough
will progress from the Northern Plains toward the Ohio Valley
which will provide NW flow across much of the country. At the sfc,
another cold front will move across the state with a frigid air
mass in its wake.

While the focus of the cold air will remain northeast of the
state, much colder temperatures can be expected across the state
this upcoming weekend. Throughout the upcoming weekend, there
remains very little chance for any kind of precipitation.
