.SHORT TERM... /Issued 1139 PM CDT Sat Apr 5 2025/
/Overnight through Monday/

Water vapor imagery shows our upper trough finally ejecting
eastward after several days of unsettled weather. Strong mid level
forcing for ascent associated with this feature is squeezing out
lingering moisture resulting in some light wrap around rain across
our north and northwest counties. Patchy drizzle is falling a
little farther south and should continue for another few hours
before the best lift moves out of the area. A cold and breezy
night is in store with temperatures falling into the mid and upper
30s across the region. Low clouds will linger for much of the day
Sunday resulting in temperatures continuing well below normal.
Highs will struggle to make it into the low 50s with continued
north winds. Drier air will make a push into the region by late in
the day though and low clouds should gradually clear from west to
east by the early evening hours. Clearing skies and decreasing
winds will allow for another cold night, especially in outlying
areas north and west of the Metroplex. Temperatures may fall to
freezing in a few locations with mid/upper 30s elsewhere.

High pressure will continue to build into the Southern Plains on
Monday with sunny skies expected and light north winds.
Temperatures will rebound back into the mid 60s areawide which
will kick off a week of generally tranquil weather.

.LONG TERM... /NEW/
/Tuesday and Beyond/

Building mid-level heights and a dry airmass overhead will keep
dry, mostly sunny, and pleasant spring weather across North and
Central Texas through the remainder of next week. Expect afternoon
highs in the 70s on Tuesday gradually climbing into the upper 70s
to mid 80s by the middle of next week. Overnight lows will
generally fall into the 50s each night. Some medium-range
guidance is suggesting that a shortwave trough will drop south
through the Plains and over the Lower Mississippi River Valley
dragging a cold front into North and Central Texas in the late
Thursday-Friday timeframe. However, the better lift and moisture
will likely remain positioned to our east, so we will keep a dry
forecast over our forecast area for now.
