.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 1224 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025
Weather conditions through Saturday night will remain warm and
dry thanks to mid-level ridging currently impacting much of the
central CONUS. Additionally, low-level riding remains strong
across the Lower Mississippi River Valley, keeping southerly flow
across the region through the short-term period.
The low-level flow will lead to increasing moisture across the
region today. This will manifest itself later this morning as low
clouds invade from the south, generally east of I-35.
Additionally, a few low-lying spots across the Brazos Valley may
experience patchy fog around sunrise, quickly dissipating by the
mid-morning hours.
With ridging in place, expect today`s highs to climb into the 80s
throughout North and Central Texas. Winds will become breezy this
afternoon, ranging between 15-20 mph. Even warmer weather is
expected tomorrow with mid 80s across the region. A few locations
west of I-35 may hit 90 degrees as southwesterly winds enhance
afternoon warming.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 1224 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025
A shift in the weather pattern will begin to take shape on Sunday
as a weak front begins to advance southward across the Southern
Plains. By midday Sunday, the front will likely reach North Texas,
however, given no substantial cold air behind the front, it will
retreat northward by the evening hours. This front will likely
shed a few degrees off afternoon highs on Sunday along the
immediate Red River; for the rest of the region, lower to mid 80s
will continue.
As we move into a new work week, the ridge atop the central CONUS
will begin to break down as a shortwave trough advances east
across southern CA. Guidance begins to diverge on just how much
amplification of the shortwave will occur through the first half
of the week. Cluster analysis continues to favor a deepening
trough across the Desert Southwest, supplying a southerly fetch of
moisture across North and Central Texas. All model guidance is in
good agreement that the highest moisture content throughout North
and Central Texas will be between Tuesday and Thursday. PWATS
will likely exceed the 90th percentile as the trough across the
Desert Southwest inches closer to our region. Between Wednesday
and Thursday, several rounds of precipitation will be possible as
leading embedded shortwaves precede the parent area of low
pressure. Given the highly dynamic system moving overhead, we`ll
continue to monitor the threat for strong to severe storms, as
well as the potential for flooding. There remains quite a bit of
uncertainly when its comes to timing, intensity and location of
the heaviest precipitation, therefore, make sure to check back
over the next few days for additional details.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 525 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025
The MVFR CIGS have invaded Central Texas with a northward
continuation into North Texas currently ongoing. As of this
1130z, MVFR ceilings are getting ready to move atop the eastern
half of the North Texas TAF sites with ceilings ranging from
020-025 AGL. The low clouds will persist through the mid-morning
hours before VFR skies return. By this afternoon, gusty winds will
develop, however, given they`ll remain out of the south, no
crosswind concerns are expected.
With southerly winds continuing into tonight, another plume of low
clouds will develop early Saturday morning. At this time,
confidence remains highest that it will impact KACT around
sunrise. For the rest of the TAF sites, confidence remains too low
to include in the 12z package. We`ll continue monitoring and
adjust the forecast as needed.
