.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 145 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025

Scattered showers were ongoing across portions of the state early
this morning ahead of a weak cold front. Temps ranged from the mid
50s to mid 60s under cloudy skies. Patchy fog was also noted
scattered about via ASOS/AWOS sites and ARDOT weather stations.

The cold front will swiftly bring precip to an end from NW to SE
later this morning. A secondary, more potent, cold front will push
across the state late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Winds on
Wednesday will be breezy, 15-25 mph, out of the N/NW thanks to tight
PGF in place. Strong area of high pressure will settle into the
region on Thursday beneath NW flow aloft. Temps will fall below
climatological averages Wednesday through Friday. No rainfall is
expected during this period of time while high pressure is in
control. Low temps could be at or below freezing across a good
portion of the state Thursday and Friday mornings. High temps
Wednesday through Friday should range from the upper 40s to mid
50s.

By Friday, upper level flow should transition to zonal. Surface
winds will switch around to the SE as a new surface low develops
over the Cntrl Plains. An upper level impulse traversing zonal
flow will move across the MS Valley on Saturday. Precip is
expected to develop and move across the state Saturday into
Sunday. By Monday, upper level winds should transition to the SW
and the resultant weather pattern becomes much more unclear based
on long term guidance. Stay tuned for the latest forecast updates.
