.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 136 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025

Expect a cold front to move into the Big Country around 12Z and then
south across the remainder of the area during the morning and be
well south of our area by 18Z. Expect gusty north to northeast winds
behind the front with gusts to 30 mph possible during the morning.
The winds will subside by late this afternoon and light winds for
tonight as surface high pressure builds in. It will be cooler today
with highs in the 60s. For tonight clear skies and a dry airmass
will lead to colder temperatures with lows in the 30s. The low lying
areas and river valleys will probably be around freezing or a few
degrees below freezing by Wednesday morning. Expect a dry
forecast for today and tonight.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 136 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025

Unseasonably warm temperatures will continue across West Central
Texas Thursday through Saturday. Highs on Thursday will be in the
upper 60s to lower 70s. A weak cold front will move through the area
on Friday, but will have little effect on temperatures. Highs on
both Friday and Saturday will be in the mid to upper 70s for most
locations. Overnight lows will generally be in the 40s.

An upper level trough will track across the Northern Plains late
Saturday, sending a cold front south through West Central Texas
Saturday night into Sunday morning. This will usher in much cooler
temperatures along with gusty northeast winds. Highs on Sunday will
be in the upper 40s to lower 50s across the Big Country, with mid
50s to lower 60s across the rest of the forecast area. Overnight
lows will generally be in the mid 30s to lower 40s. Mild
temperatures return for the first part of next week with highs
generally in the 60s and lows in the 40s.

An upper level trough is forecast to track across the region on
Tuesday. The GFS indicates showers developing across the area with
the passage of the front. The ECMWF also hints at this solution, but
is drier than the GFS. For now, have kept low end chance PoPs
confined to our eastern counties, but will continue to monitor.
