Issued at 1047 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 An active pattern will be in place over the CONUS through much of the period. A shortwave trof progresses across the interior eastern states through Saturday and becomes partially absorbed into an upper trof further to the north. An associated surface low brings a trailing cold front into the forecast area on Saturday which continues into the northern Gulf Saturday night. A series of disturbances moving across the region will support high rain chances today mainly along and west of I-65, which taper off to isolated to scattered convection mostly along and west of I-65 tonight. Patchy to areas of fog will likely develop across much of the area again tonight, potentially becoming dense in some locations. Isolated showers/storms are possible over the northernmost portion of the area on Saturday, but otherwise dry conditions are expected to follow through Monday. An upper low meanwhile slowly advances across the Baja area and into Arizona then lifts into the central states through Sunday night and evolves into an open trof. This feature shears out across the interior eastern states through Monday night while a vigorous Canadian system dives into the northern Plains and leads to a large and broad upper trof spanning the eastern and central states by Wednesday. A surface low associated with this pattern is expected to bring another cold front through the forecast area at some point between Tuesday night into Wednesday. As the front approaches and moves through, have gone with likely pops west of I-65 for Tuesday with chance pops further to the east then chance pops follow for Wednesday. Dry conditions are expected for Thanksgiving Day, then may see some isolated convection develop near the coast on Friday, but for the most part am anticipating mostly dry conditions. Lows tonight will be mostly in the mid 60s then Saturday night will be cooler and range from the lower 50s well inland to near 60 at the coast. Lows Sunday night range from the mid/upper 40s well inland to the mid 50s at the coast. Lows Monday night and Tuesday night range from the mid/upper 50s well inland to the lower/mid 60s at the coast. Much cooler temperatures follow for Wednesday night which range from around 40 well inland to near 50 at the coast, then Thursday night will have lows ranging from the mid 30s well inland to the mid 40s at the coast. Highs on Saturday will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s, then highs on Sunday and Monday will be in the mid to upper 70s. Highs on Tuesday range from the mid 70s to around 80, then Wednesday will be cooler and range from the lower 70s well inland to the mid 70s closer to the coast. Highs on Thanksgiving Day will be cool and range from the lower 60s well inland to the mid/upper 60s closer to the coast. Highs on Friday range from the lower 60s well inland to the mid 60s elsewhere. A moderate risk of rip currents is in effect through Saturday, then a low risk follows for Sunday and Monday. A Moderate risk of rip currents is expected for Tuesday. /29 && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 1047 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 High coverage of showers with some embedded storms is anticipated along and west of I-65 through much of the afternoon which then diminishes by this evening. LIFR/IFR conditions are possible with the showers and storms. MVFR/VFR conditions are otherwise expected until LIFR to potentially VLIFR conditions in dense fog develop across most of the area late tonight. The low ceilings and fog dissipate Saturday morning leaving MVFR/VFR conditions. Southerly winds 5-10 knots this afternoon diminish to a south to southwest flow 5 knots or less tonight, then a southwest flow at 5-10 knots follows for Saturday morning. /29 && .MARINE...
