.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 210 PM CST Sat Dec 6 2025

Southerly sfc flow today into tomorrow brings some weak WAA giving
us slightly warmer temperatures in the 40s. Today`s temperatures
have been stubborn across southern and southeastern portions of the
area as a lower level cloud deck has stayed in place. Brought down
highs for tomorrow to the lower to mid 40s due to expected cloud
cover.

A weak sfc low to the west moves east tonight into the mid
Mississippi Valley. Starting very early tomorrow morning soundings
show the potential for some drizzle in the western half of the CWA.
This looks to persist throughout the day and will spread east as
drizzle or possibly even light rain. A weak upper wave moves through
tomorrow night which may provide enough lift and deeper saturation
for drizzle to become light rain or possibly flurries as it gets
colder behind a cold front. No accumulation is expected, so expect
minimal impacts.

A brief chilly day on Monday behind the cold front from Sunday
afternoon then a decent warm up Tuesday and Wednesday with 50s
possible on Wednesday! Breezy south winds Tuesday into Wednesday
with winds shifting to the northwest behind another cold front on
Wednesday. Isolated to scattered showers are possible Wednesday with
the front mainly in far eastern areas of the CWA. Some light snow
could mix in Wednesday night behind the front.

A stronger sfc low follows and increases PoPs into Thursday,
expanding further back west but still focused with the highest PoPs
in the east. A mix of rain and snow is possible in SIL, SWIN, and
NW KY Thursday night before tapering off.

High pressure returns to end the week with dry conditions and much
colder temperatures. Highs on Thursday are in the 30s to 40s. Highs
on Friday are in the 30s. Highs on Saturday are in the 20s!

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1116 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025

The IFR cloud deck over PAH and OWB is slowly eroding and
scattering out on satellite this afternoon and they should be
VFR soon. Some high cirrus may move in this evening before the
IFR cloud deck builds back in overnight. Winds will be light and
variable but generally switching around to the south. Didn`t
put lower vsbys in the TAFs for tonight because of higher
uncertainty, but the southerly flow could lead to some warm air
advection that could make for a similar morning to this morning
where there is some light fog with the lower stratus.
