.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1134 PM CST Tue Nov 11 2025

We have clear skies and some fantastic views/pics of the Aurora
borealis with a good inversion up high at 3.5kft. May be
refracting some of the show and could be good again tonight. Our
temps have fallen below some forecast lows, so the grid is update
as are the zones in our "Rest of Tonight" lead. We will see
guidance get back to normal with the increasing humidity. This
will also help quell our wildfire danger in the coming days, but
not fully until the weekend. We are looking at S/SW winds today at
a good pace, but basically still recirculating modified
continental air for yesterday and some of today. The air will
moisten on the surface and in earnest in the SW flow aloft,
eventually.

The models are continuing the trend of slow to go on the offshore
low nearing the west coast this weekend. Until then, we will
continue to wait as a narrow air mass drops in and slows it down
this weekend. A 1030mb surface high will remain anchored in
Canada, but extend down the MS River Valley Sunday. We could see
some showers early next week as this air mass eventually backdoors
closer. However, the west coast upper low will have wheels behind
that narrow high as the upper ridge is a little more progressive
by then, allowing the low to dig better Pacific moisture on SW
flow coming our way with a really good chance for rainfall by the
middle of next week. /24/
