.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 242 AM CST Tue Dec 9 2025

Today and tonight...Surface high pressure ridging will prevail over
the area today, but will weaken across the area tonight. The surface
high will shift east of the area and this will allow the flow to
become more southerly this afternoon. Skies will clear this
afternoon and temperatures will be a little warmer, with highs
mostly in the 50s. Skies will remain clear overnight, with warmer
lows ranging from the mid 30s in the east to around 40 in the
west./15/

Temperatures will moderate to near or slightly above seasonal
averages through this weekend. By late week, another cold front is
expected to approach the region, bringing the potential for the
return of rain chances. While model trends have reduced the signal
for precip, we will still maintain low-end rain chances across the
east/southeast. In the wake of this front, temperatures may again
plummet into the mid-20s, with highs struggling to reach 50 heading
into next the next workweek. While this colder scenario is possible,
model consensus proves to be widely varied, thus forecast confidence
remains low at this time./KP/
