.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 1145 PM CDT Tue Oct 7 2025

 - A weak frontal passage continues across the region overnight
   through early Wednesday morning with slightly milder and drier
   air in its wake.

 - The persistent upper-level ridge which has dominated recently
   will retrograde westward through the remainder of this week,
   allowing for cooler and drier NW flow aloft across our region.

 - Upper ridging will gradually build back across the region late
   this weekend into next week, nudging temperatures higher once
   again and maintaining a dry forecast.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1145 PM CDT Tue Oct 7 2025

Despite the arrival of a weak cold front, the vast majority of the
region has missed out on seeing any measurable rainfall yet again.
Unfortunately, rain chances don`t look any more promising over the
next week with a continuation of warm and dry conditions through
the middle of October. The only real noteworthy difference between
our recent weather versus upcoming trends is a slightly milder and
drier air mass in place behind the ongoing fropa. Daytime highs
will generally range through the 80s over the next several days
while much more pleasant overnight temperatures will gradually
fall off into the 50s to lower 60s by later this week.

As we move into this weekend, the upper-level ridge which become
more reinforced across the region once again. This will result in
temperatures warming back into the upper 80s to near 90 degrees
over much of the region. This trend will continue through the
first half of next week with no significant weather features in
sight that could bring about any real change to our stubbornly
warm and dry pattern. So look for further degradation in drought
conditions across the region and more emphasis on fire danger as
soil moisture is further depleted in this prolonged warm and dry
fall weather pattern.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1148 PM CDT Tue Oct 7 2025

VFR conditions currently prevail across our airspace attm in
advance of a cold front that will push through our airspace today.
Cannot rule out some VSBY restrictions in advance of that boundary
early in the morning at the TXK/ELD and MLU terminals and time-
height cross sections are hinting at MVFR ceilings behind the
frontal boundary during the late morning and even afternoon at the
TXK and ELD terminals. If we do see these lower post frontal
ceilings today, they should scatter out and/or lift about MVFR
categories by late this afternoon or into the evening hours. Look
for post frontal NNE to NE winds today with speeds generally near
10kts. Some higher gusts will also be possible.
