Updated at 932 PM CST Tue Dec 9 2025 - Above-average temperatures through Friday; turning cooler by this weekend. - No chance for precipitation through at least Friday. && .NEAR TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 1200 PM CST Tue Dec 9 2025 An unusually warm and pleasant day of weather is beginning across Oklahoma and north Texas. With a southwesterly surface wind, mostly clear skies and modest downsloped warming, temperatures this afternoon will climb into the low-70s across far western Oklahoma and western-north Texas. While slightly "cooler", temperatures across central and eastern Oklahoma will still run 10-15 degrees above normal (low-60s) for early December. A weak surface front remains poised to advance southeastward across the forecast area this evening into early Wednesday, as a 90kt+ jet core dives across the Northern Plains. It still appears as though the main sensible impact with the front will be a wind shift (southwest-to-north/northeasterly direction) into Wednesday morning. Ungar && .SHORT TERM... (Wednesday through Thursday night) Issued at 1200 PM CST Tue Dec 9 2025 While cooler than today, temperatures during the day on Wednesday still look to run several degrees above average (low-60s south to mid-50s north) across the area. Greater influence from an upstream ridge will be noted with time, as a deep upper system accelerates towards the Eastern Seaboard by Thursday. Similar to Tuesday, breezy southwest winds are expected during the afternoon and evening amidst a locally notable pressure gradient. Combined with at least filtered insolation and weak downsloping, another warm December day is currently anticipated. Ungar && .LONG TERM...
