(This afternoon through Monday night)
Issued at 1130 AM CST Sun Nov 9 2025
Below average temperatures are forecast for this afternoon as cooler
air remains in place behind the cold frontal passage from yesterday.
Clear skies and light winds will lead to below freezing temperatures
in the 20s area wide tonight. A few areas may even reach the teens
for lows going into Monday morning. Breezy southwest surface winds
will aid in bringing in warmer air for Monday and highs will warm
back up into the upper 50s to mid 60s for the Panhandles. Lows
Monday night should stay above freezing as winds will mostly remain
around 10 mph or higher all night.
