.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 256 AM CST Wed Nov 5 2025

No significant changes to note to the fcst this mrng, as dry,
settled, and seasonably warm condns wl prevail thru the end of the
week. A trailing cdfrnt is set to approach the FA later this aftn
as Great Lakes cyclonic flow departs Ewrd, and Great Plains high
pressure moves Swrd. This frnt should quickly wash out over Nrn AR
w/ Srly winds and WAA resuming again on Thurs.

By Fri, amplifying H500 troughing over the Cntrl US wl drive
another sfc cyclone acrs the Upper Midwest, w/ a trailing cdfrnt
sweeping thru the Srn Cntrl US. Some lower Chc PoPs wl accompany
this frnt, mainly acrs Ern AR Fri aftn to evng.

Thru the weekend and the end of the PD, trends in deterministic
and blended base-fcst guidance remain indicative of a strong
surge of Canadian continental high pressure, and asctd sfc cdfrnt
thru the Sun-Mon timeframe. Ensemble-mean and probabilistic
guidance is also supportive of anomalous H850 and sfc temps w/
this feature.

For now, the current fcst favors another bout of widespread frost
to freezing condns for most of the FA on Mon and Tues mrngs,
though, the impacts of a potential freeze would pertain more to
Cntrl to Srn AR, e.g., where a widespread freeze has not been
observed yet. Some uncertainties still remain however, given a
larger spread in 10-90%ile fcst MinT`s, and timing/magnitude of
the aforementioned cdfrnt.

VFR condns are fcst to prevail thru the new TAF PD. A weak frnt wl
move into Nrn AR later this aftn, w/ a Nrly wdshft noted at Nrn
terminals. Otherwise, W-SWrly winds wl persist at Cntrl and Srn
terminals, w/ no other sig wx expected.
