.DISCUSSION...
(This afternoon through next Tuesday)
Issued at 1133 AM CST THU DEC 4 2025

Rain is currently ongoing across a large area south of I-20, and
this is where the best rain chances will remain through the weekend.
Rain will likely ebb and flow north/south during this time, as the
surface low continues to take shape and move inland. My midnight
shift counterpart described it best as "A conveyor belt of moisture"
remaining in place through Sunday, before another trough finally
pushes the rain east Monday morning.

Conditions will remain dry to start the new workweek, with below
freezing temperatures possible again Tuesday morning. Thankfully,
temperatures will gradually "warm" into Wednesday, but still remain
below average for the most part. With that being said, another deep
trough will begin taking shape, dropping south through the Midwest
during this timeframe. Guidance starts to split here regarding
additional rain chances midweek, with higher confidence in more
cold weather behind this longwave.
