.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1217 AM CST Thu Nov 27 2025

Aloft, a relatively active synoptic pattern continues with
northwesterly flow behind longwave troughing that will shift east
over the Atlantic Ocean by the end of the week. This longwave
trough is currently transiting the Mississippi River valley and
quickly making its way towards the East Coast. In its wake, quasi-
zonal flow will gradually allow for steering perturbations across
the area embedded withing a series of troughs shifting across the
Intermountain West through the weekend into next week. Combined
with Pacific moisture and some cold air infiltration, long-range
guidance continues to indicate increasing potential for wintry
precipitation, most likely in the form of freezing rain. That
said, great uncertainty remains regarding the alignment of enough
cold air, moisture and lift for wintry precipitation, all of which
still only adds up to a 5-10% chance of occurrence at this time.
Temperatures will remain near-normal (maximums in the 60s,
minimums in the 40s) until Sunday as the next air mass is ushered
in with frontal passage to bring temperatures back below normal
into the first days of December (maximums in the 50s, minimums in
the 20s-30s at the coldest on Monday night). /16/
