Issued at 1244 PM CST Mon Dec 4 2023

Aloft, a series of shortwave troughs will translate through the northern CONUS with a building ridge across the Desert Southwest. A weak cold front will enter our region tonight aided by the northern CONUS troughs but this has little impact on our overall weather. The aforementioned rid slightly more mild night is expected tomorrow night with continued southerly winds. Expect temperatures to remain more in the upper 30s and low 40s for the majorityge begins to slowly to move eastward through the early and middle part of the week.

Meanwhile, it was a chilly start to the day thanks to excellent radiational cooling due to calm winds and clear skies. Most locations fell to near freezing early this morning but temperatures have quickly recovered so far this afternoon. Southerly return flow and sunny skies should aide in most locations reaching the 60s for afternoon high temperatures. Tonight a weak cold front enters the region with light northerly winds and clear skies across northern portions of the area. Expect chilly temperatures in the low to mid 30s across the bulk of the area north of the Pecos with more 40s to the south. Temperatures rebound nicely once again on Tuesday under increasing heights and sunny skies despite weak easterly winds.
Temperatures climb into the 60s for locations north of Highway 90 with 70s to the south. Similar temperatures to Monday night are expected for Tuesday night as excellent radiational cooling is expected once again.
