Updated at 1108 PM CST WED DEC 10 2025 - Seasonable temperatures expected the remainder of the week with little chance for rain until the weekend. - Dangerously cold temperatures expected Sunday night through Monday morning with Wind Chill values dropping to 10-15 degrees by Monday morning. && .DISCUSSION... (Today through next Wednesday) Issued at 1108 PM CST WED DEC 10 2025 Seasonable conditions expected through the remainder of the week as high pressure builds in across the region. This should keep the area rain-free through at least the weekend. The pattern changes over the weekend as a trough digs southward through the Eastern CONUS and pushes a cold front through Alabama Saturday night through Sunday morning. This will likely be more of a light to moderate rain with generally less than a quarter- inch of rainfall expected. The main story is the very cold air behind the front. A continental polar airmass is expected to move into the region Sunday with daytime highs not reaching above freezing for some of our northern locations on Sunday. Monday morning lows are currently forecast to be in the upper teens to low 20s area-wide. Temperatures then moderate slightly Tuesday into Wednesday as the center of the surface high shifts eastward. 25/Owen && .AVIATION...
