.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 221 AM CST Sat Nov 15 2025

Continuing to monitor fog
development across southern portions of the area this morning.
Particularly across the Pine Belt where a "Dense Fog Advisory" is in
effect until 9 AM.  Visibility could be reduced to one quarter of a
mile or less where dense fog is observed.  Any fog that develops
will quickly begin to erode after sunrise as heating ensues.

Quiet weather and above normal warmth will be the norm across the
forecast area through much of the forecast period.  A frontal
boundary will sink south through the region late Sunday night into
Monday morning.  Little in the way of an airmass change or even rain
chances will accompany this front.

Currently, better rain chances look to exist across the forecast
area at the end of next week.  A closed low pressure system is
progged to move across the nation`s mid-section late Thursday into
Friday.  This will cause a cold front to move east into and through
the forecast area during the course of the day Friday, thus bringing
showers and storms to the area.  While this is at the end of the
current forecast period, models do show adequate wind shear and
forcing with this system, although instability is lacking.  Still,
this system will need to be monitored in upcoming forecasts as at
least some low end severe threat could accompany it. /19/
