(Tonight through Thursday) Issued at 1137 AM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 Cooler and slightly below normal temperatures are expected to persist through this evening and into Thanksgiving morning in the wake of a cold front tracking through the region today. Overnight lows are expected to fall into the mid to upper 30s, with some of the usual low-lying areas and northern portions of the Big Country seeing the coolest overnight lows tonight. Afternoon high temperatures tomorrow will struggle to make it into the upper 50s to mid 60s, which gets us closer to normal high temperatures for this time of year (mid 60s). Winds are expected to be light and easterly this evening and gradually shifting to the south to southeast by Thursday morning. && .LONG TERM... (Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 1220 AM CST Thu Nov 27 2025 Low-level moisture will increase over our area Friday with strengthening return flow. Breezy south winds and mostly cloudy skies are expected, with afternoon highs mostly in the lower 60s. Isolated to scattered showers are possible, mainly Friday afternoon and Friday night in association with a weak upper shortwave moving through the area. A few thunderstorms will be possible Friday evening and Friday night in some of our eastern counties with an increase in instability. An upper trough will move southeast across the northern and central Plains into the Midwest on Saturday, and associated cold front will advance south across our area during the afternoon and evening. Depending on the specific timing with this front, it could curtail highs to the mid 60s to near 70 in some of our northern counties. Our central and southern counties should have highs in the lower to mid 70s, with south to southwest winds ahead of the front and partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. Gusty north winds can be expected Saturday night in the wake of the cold frontal passage. Temperatures will drop into the upper 20s to lower 30s by daybreak Sunday. Brisk northeast winds will make for a cold Sunday morning. The colder airmass will settle in for Sunday into the first part of the week. Temperatures should be confined to the lower to mid 40s for highs in most of our area Sunday, with a few upper 40s in our far southern counties. Lows Sunday night are expected to range from the mid 20s to lower 30s. Models continue to trend drier for early next week, and now only have a slight chance (20 percent) for light rain showers in eastern portions of San Saba and Mason Counties Monday morning. Another upper trough is forecast to drop southeast into the southern Plains on Monday, pushing a cold front south across our area late Monday afternoon into early Monday night. Monday night looks cold with temperatures dropping into the 20s for lows, and accompanied by somewhat breezy north winds. Temperatures will remain cool and below normal Tuesday with highs in the lower to mid 50s. Wednesday looks warmer with a return of southerly winds and highs in the lower to mid 60s. && .AVIATION...
