.NEAR TERM...
(Through Thursday)
Issued at 1218 AM CST Thu Dec 11 2025

Cool start to the day with morning lows in the 30s across the area.
Breezy southwest winds are expected to develop Thursday as pressure
gradient increases across the region. The southwest winds along with
mostly/partly sunny skies and downslope flow will lead to another
warm day with highs in the 70s (low possibly mid 70s) in western
parts of the fa with highs in the mid/upper 60s across the rest of
the fa. These temperatures will once again be 10-15 degrees above
average for this time of year.

Dewpoints are expected to increase Thursday which will keep RH
values from dropping too low but depending on the speed of the
dewpoint increase there is a low chance that some areas of elevated
fire weather conditions may develop. Confidence on this happening is
low but not out of the question especially with the breezy southwest
winds and warmer temperatures expected Thursday. Will not issue a
Fire Danger Statement (RFD) due to the low confidence but conditions
will need to be monitored for the potential need for one.

.SHORT TERM...
(Thursday night through Saturday night)
Issued at 1218 AM CST Thu Dec 11 2025

Models show a 90-100 knot 500 mb jet moving across the Northern
Plains which will cause a weak cold front to move across the area
Thursday night into Friday. Breezy north to northeast winds are
expected behind the front. The airmass behind the front will also
lead to cooler, compared to Thursday, temperatures for Friday and
Saturday with highs in the 50s and low/mid 60s. Despite these
temperatures being cooler, the forecast highs are still about 5-10
degrees above average.

A secondary front is expected to move across the area late Saturday
with breezy/gusty north to northeast winds behind the front. This
front will bring another shot of cold air to the region with lows
Saturday night in the teens (northern and central OK) to low/mid 20s
(southern OK and western north TX). These temperatures combined with
the breezy winds will lead to even colder wind chills in the single
digits and teens across the fa.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Wednesday)
Issued at 1218 AM CST Thu Dec 11 2025

The colder temperatures will continue Sunday with highs in the mid
30s to mid 40s across the area. These temperatures are ~15 degrees
below average. The even colder wind chills will continue during at
least part of the day Sunday.

Southerly winds are expected to return Sunday night with
temperatures back into the 50s and 60s on Monday. The warmer
temperatures are expected to continue into at least the middle of
next week.

Models show a pattern shift towards the middle of next week with a
southern stream shortwave moving across the region Tuesday. However,
despite this shortwave and the multiple cold front passages over the
next 7 days, the chances for any precipitation are very low with
most if not all of the fa expected to remain dry into at least the
middle of next week.
