.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 1218 PM CST Fri Nov 7 2025

A weak cold front continues to traverse southeastward trough
portions of our southeastern Counties, bringing some breezy
northerly winds through early this evening and some cooler
temperatures to West Central Texas. The drier air mass behind the
front will allow temperatures to drop into the 40s and 50s
overnight tonight into Saturday morning, and minimum RH values to
remain in the teens to 25 percent range. With the lower RH values
and gusty winds Saturday afternoon across portions of the Western
Big Country and NW Concho Valley, there are some concerns for
elevated fire weather conditions. However, confidence remains
lower at this time given the much cooler temperatures being a
limiting factor.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Friday)
Issued at 115 PM CST Fri Nov 7 2025

In the wake of the Saturday afternoon and evening strong cold
frontal passage, much cooler air will overspread our area Saturday
night into Sunday, accompanied by gusty north winds. This to occur
with a surface high pressure ridge building south across the Great
Plains and into Texas. This will make it feel chilly on Sunday,
especially in the morning. Morning lows on Sunday will be in the
40s, with afternoon highs in the 50s to lower 60s.

A freeze is likely across our area late Sunday night and early
Monday morning, as the aforementioned surface high settles into
northern and central Texas. A combination of clear skies, light
winds and a dry airmass will result in ideal radiational cooling.
At this time, going with lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s, although
low-lying areas could have lows in the mid 20s.

Temperatures will remain cool on Monday despite full sunshine,
with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s. Light winds will become
south Monday afternoon, as the surface high shifts east into the
lower Mississippi Valley. A warming trend will begin Tuesday with
gusty south-southwest winds, with increased pressure gradient and
lee surface trough development to our west. Will have to monitor
for the potential of elevated fire weather conditions with these
conditions, given the forecast low relative humidity values
Tuesday afternoon.

The warming trend will continue in the mid-to-late week time frame.
An upper level ridge will be over the southwestern CONUS Tuesday,
and is progged to gradually shift east into Texas by the start of
next weekend. Dry conditions will continue for our area, and highs
are expected to get back into the 80s for the latter half of the
week.
