- Gusty winds are expected on Monday behind the cold front.
Temperatures fall into the upper 20s to low 30s for locations generally north of I-10 by sunrise on Tuesday.
- Cool and dry conditions expected to persist through the remainder of the week.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 1153 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025
Finally a break from dreary, cold, damp rain that has overstayed its welcome the last week or so. The good news is that we likely put a good dent into drought conditions across the area but now we will return to cool and dry conditions as the cold front has finally pushed through the area. Dry northwesterly flow will prevail through the entire week as broad troughing lingers across the eastern US. Several weak shortwaves passing through the flow will bring re-enforicing shots of cold air throughout the end of the week but with moisture scoured out no precip is expected with any of these systems. The main talk will be the return of the sun and temperatures fluctuating between pleasant to cool as each wave moves through. Expect highs Tuesday and Wednesday to start off 50s on Tuesday but return to the mid 60s by Wednesday. Lows will also start in the upper 20s to low 30s tonight then slowly increase each night back into the 40s by Wednesday. The next shot of cooler air comes by Friday into Saturday as one of the re- enforcing cold fronts moves through leading to lows dropping back into the 30s and low 40s and highs in the upper 40s to low 50s.
Overall a rather un-eventful week. BB-8
