362 FXUS64 KFWD 112334 AFDFWD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 534 PM CST Thu Dec 11 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Above-normal temperatures expected today and Friday. Areas of fog will be possible across the Brazos Valley Friday morning. - A strong cold front will bring colder temperatures on Sunday with highs in the 40s and 50s. - Abnormally warm temperatures will return to the region by the middle of next week. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Friday) Issued at 1250 PM CST Thu Dec 11 2025 South-southwesterly low-level flow will lead to a couple of days of above-average temperatures in the short-term forecast period. Expect high temperatures in the mid 60s to low 70s across most of North and Central Texas both today and Friday. Boundary-layer moisture will quickly increase early Friday across parts of Central Texas and the Brazos Valley ahead of a weak cold front that is expected to stall near the Highway 84 corridor by Friday evening. Patchy fog will be possible Friday morning in our southeastern zones. Little change but a light northerly wind shift is expected with this frontal passage. && .LONG TERM... (Friday night through next Wednesday) Issued at 1250 PM CST Thu Dec 11 2025 Low clouds will increase in coverage across Central Texas into Friday night with light precipitation possible near and south of the aforementioned boundary, primarily in our Brazos Valley Counties, Saturday into Sunday. A stronger push of cold and dry air will arrive Saturday night dropping temperatures into the mid 20s along the Red River by early Sunday morning. Temperatures will struggle to escape the 40s along and north of the I-20 corridor on Sunday with low 50s likely down in Central Texas. Widespread freezing temperatures are expected Sunday night with another chilly day of widespread 50s likely on Monday. Increasing south- southwesterly gradient flow ahead of our next compact upper trough will draw greater quality moisture northward over the region and tick temperatures back to above-average by Tuesday. Lift associated with this passing synoptic feature may lead to the development of isolated to scattered showers, primarily east of I-35, Tuesday and Wednesday. However, if this upper-level trough/low passes south of our region into northern Mexico (as highlighted by the ECMWF), then rain chances will likely remain near zero. Nonetheless, a prolonged period of southerly low-level flow will lead to an extended stretch of above-normal temperatures with afternoon highs approaching/exceeding 70 degrees by Wednesday of next week. There is a ~40% chance that afternoon highs approach 80 degrees in Central Texas by next weekend, which would place temperatures near 20 degrees above average for this time of year. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 531 PM CST Thu Dec 11 2025 VFR conditions will prevail through the TAF period with only a few passing high clouds expected. Light southerly winds will continue overnight, generally around 10 kt or less. A weak frontal boundary will sag southward through North Texas tomorrow, resulting in a wind shift to the north around 8 kt by 17-18Z at the Metroplex terminals. No precipitation or ceilings are expected with the boundary, and confidence remains high in continued VFR through Friday evening. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Dallas-Ft.
