Updated at 1159 AM CST Wed Nov 12 2025 - Well above normal temperatures through early next week. - Dry weather will persist through weekend with periodic breezy days which could locally raise grassland fire concerns. - Shower and thunderstorm chances return early next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Thursday) Issued at 1159 AM CST Wed Nov 12 2025 Weak sfc high pressure over the region currently will be displaced on Thursday with increasing southerly winds becoming gusty at times during the afternoon. Cool and dry overnight conditions will warm quickly through the day Thursday with afternoon high temps 10-15 degrees above normal. && .LONG TERM... (Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 1159 AM CST Wed Nov 12 2025 Ridging aloft expands through the southern CONUS into the weekend with near record warm temps within the low level thermal ridge which expands across the region by Saturday. Temps will correspondingly remain well above normal with sustained southerly winds and increasing dewpoints also maintaining mild overnight lows. Weak cold front passes Saturday through Sat. night with little to no impact and only a minor cool down for Sunday. Guidance consensus continues to trend toward a more northward track of the eventual wave ejecting from the southwest CONUS into the Plains for early next week. Rain chances do return by Monday but remain rather low and primarily confined to far E OK and NW AR. The evolution and timing of the next wave to influence the region remain uncertain, but rain chances remain through the end of the forecast period as the overall pattern becomes more unsettled. && .AVIATION...
