(This afternoon through Wednesday night)
Issued at 1004 AM CST Tue Dec 9 2025

Fair weather conditions, with very low probabilities (near 0%) of
impactful weather conditions are expected. H500 NW flow separating
an active northern stream jet from a weaker and more tame southern
CONUS jet-stream will favor mostly clear skies for the
Panhandles. Temperatures tomorrow will drop around 10 degrees or
so compared to today as a cold front moves south through the
Panhandles tomorrow morning. High temperatures tomorrow will range
from the mid 50s across the northern Panhandles to near 60
degrees for portions of the southern TX Panhandle.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through next Monday)
Issued at 1004 AM CST Tue Dec 9 2025

H500 NW flow to eventual zonal flow as seen in the latest 09/12Z
model and numerical data indicates tranquil weather conditions
are expected to continue throughout the long term forecast period.
After temperatures being well above average for Thursday,
temperatures will drop to only slightly above average for
Thursday through Saturday. By Sunday, if another back door cold
front enters the NE Panhandles, some below average temperatures
could move into portions of the region, in particular the eastern
Panhandles.
