.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 1208 PM CST Thu Dec 4 2025

A cold day across West Central Texas this afternoon with
temperatures holding in the upper 30s to lower 40s across most
areas. Low clouds will eventually decrease across the area this
afternoon and evening, but mid and high clouds will persist. This
will help keep temperatures from bottoming out overnight with lows
mainly in the low to mid 30s. Main upper level trough will move a
little closer overnight, with a weak shortwave combining with some
of this mid/upper moisture to squeeze out a few light showers
across the southern areas mainly south of I-10. Will continue the
slight chance mention down there, although again any rain reaching
the ground should be light.

A little more sunshine on Friday with a break in some of the mid
and upper level cloud cover. Surface high pressure will also be
shifting east of the area and light south to southwest winds will
return. Forecast highs climbing into the low to mid 60s for most
areas looks perfectly reasonable.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through next Friday)
Issued at 1117 PM CST Thu Dec 4 2025

An upper-level trough will remain over the region and bring a
series of upper-level disturbances to West Central Texas from
Saturday through mid next week. Models are showing a pattern
switch with an upper-level ridge beginning to push into the area
by the end of next week. Overall, the long term forecast will
remain dry, with a few dry cold front passages over the area
through Thursday next week.

A brief warmup is expected Saturday with ample sunshine and
downsloping west-southwest winds, which will keep high
temperatures in the mid 60s to mid 70s. A cold front is expected
to track through the area late Saturday night into Sunday,
bringing breezy north-northeast winds and cooler high temperatures
Sunday in the mid 50s north to mid 60s. With winds weakening and
clear skies causing some radiational cooling Sunday night, there
is potential for a freeze into early morning morning with
overnight lows in the mid 20s to lower 30s. A gradual warming
trend is expected to take place Monday through Thursday, with
Wednesday and Thursday being the warmest days next week. High
temperatures Wednesday and Thursday could rise into the upper 60s
to mid 70s, which is above normal for this time of year. The next
cold front is expected to track through the area Late Thursday
into Friday, cooling high temperatures for the end of next week
into the 60s.
