.DISCUSSION...
(Today through next Monday)
Issued at 1235 AM CST TUE NOV 4 2025

Much of the work week will be be tranquil with a warm up through
Friday. The pattern will shift on Friday with an approaching
shortwave. This disturbance will the first of several expected
over the weekend associated with a more amplified long wave trough
moving through. Rain chances will increase into Friday evening,
but total rainfall amounts should remain generally around a
quarter of an inch. This could change closer to the weekend if the
low drops farther south, but that remains to be seen. Expect a
few thunderstorms overnight Friday evening into Saturday morning
but right now models indicate that the intensity will be weakening
as the shortwave moves further away from the parent system.

With a good model agreement still, much colder temperatures
arrive by Monday, with even colder on Tuesday. The deep trough
itself should push into the region during the Monday/Tuesday
timeframe, with the current forecast showing a good representation
of these cooler temperatures. With a strong mid and upper level
air flow, plenty of cold air advection into the region. We will
continue to fine tune this area of the forecast, but right now
there appears to be a least medium to high likelihood that this
will be a fairly widespread freeze of the season.

Friday evening. Otherwise, drought conditions are expected to
