Updated at 528 PM CST Mon Dec 15 2025 - Warm and dry conditions will continue through the weekend. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 1210 PM CST Mon Dec 15 2025 Cloud cover will continue to scatter into this afternoon as temperatures warm. Highs will rebound from yesterday, returning to near average in the upper 50s to low 60s. Southwest winds will gradually diminish tonight as relative high pressure shifts eastward and skies will again become more overcast ahead of a shortwave. However, clearing is expected by sunrise behind the wave and as such morning lows will fall into the 30s for much of the area. Despite a more broad upper trough moving through, due westerly downsloping surface winds during the daytime hours will bring well-above average highs to the region, topping out in the upper 60s and low 70s. A weak associated front will track over the area generally after sunset, however will only veer light westerly winds to northerly. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through next Sunday) Issued at 1210 PM CST Mon Dec 15 2025 Generally light winds will persist through Wednesday morning behind the aforementioned trough. This will bring temperatures down a few degrees from Tuesday, however they will still remain well above- average in the upper 60s. A deeper upper through will move over the upper Midwest and a resultant stronger front will track through our area Wednesday night into Thursday. Stronger post-frontal CAA will drop temperatures around 10 degrees and possibly a bit more over northern areas. Nonetheless abundant sunshine will persist. A return of more zonal flow aloft Friday through the weekend will bring back the 70s and potentially even 80s for Saturday. Long-range models indicate the well-above average temperatures and dry conditions continuing all the way into Christmas. && .AVIATION...
