.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1123 PM CST Thu Dec 4 2025

The primary focus for the next 24 hours will be the persistent
chill in the air and the residual low-level moisture across the
Four State Region tonight through Friday morning. The surface low
responsible for the rainfall will continue to pull away to the
east. As a result, the widespread rain seen during Thursday has
come to an end, however, the saturated air coupled with light
northwesterly flow is supporting areas of light drizzle tonight.
Although radiational cooling will be limited by the persistent
cloud deck, the entrenched cold airmass will still allow
temperatures to drop into the upper 20s across our northern zones
to the lower and mid-30s elsewhere. Any lingering rainfall or
drizzle should come to an end on Friday, with perhaps a few
lingering showers across our far southeastern zones into Friday
night.

Drier air will begin to filter in from the west-northwest, which
will bring a more tranquil weather pattern for the rest of the
weekend and into next week. Skies will gradually clear from
Saturday into Sunday, allowing daytime highs to return to the
mid-50s by Sunday afternoon. The first half of next week features
a more notable shift in the synoptic pattern with medium-range
models supporting the development of quasi-zonal flow aloft, with
surface high pressure shifting to the east, allowing a robust
return flow of warmer, drier air. This pattern change indicates a
strong warming trend, pushing temperatures well above seasonable
normals. By Tuesday and Wednesday, forecast confidence is high for
the region to experience highs climbing into the low-to-mid 60s.
We will maintain dry conditions through this period with the next
chance for organized precipitation not expected until late next
week. /33/

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 607 PM CST Thu Dec 4 2025

For the 05/00z TAF period...Reduced flight categories remain
across the region, as light rain/drizzle has yielded low cigs and
reduced vsbys. The light precip should start to taper off through
the period, but low cigs will remain. Eventually, we will start
to see some breaks in the clouds by tomorrow afternoon, with low
cigs possibly lifting across our East Texas sites by the end of
the period. /20/
