(Today and tonight) Issued at 100 AM CST Wed Dec 3 2025 Skies are mostly clear this morning across west central Texas with temperatures in the mid 40s. Southerly winds were occurring as a surface trough was developing over the Panhandle.

Ahead of the front, the airmass should be warm enough to support high temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. For areas along and north of Interstate 20, temperatures look to only reach the low 60s before the front arrives.

(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 100 AM CST Wed Dec 3 2025 A strong cold front will move well south of the area by Thursday morning resulting in much colder Thursday with highs only in the 40s due to strong cold air advection and wind chills in the 30s. However, a quick recovery in temperatures is in store for this weekend with highs above seasonable values(in the 60s). The next upper level disturbance is due in Thursday and Thursday night with low chances(20-40%) of rain.
