.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 250 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025
Widespread low clouds and patchy fog have developed across the
majority of the forecast area this morning. Surface observations and
traffic cameras confirm where the fog had developed, it is dense and
producing very low visibilities. With conditions likely to not
improve the remainder of tonight, the dense fog advisory will be
left in place.
Upper level pattern this morning features broad troughing covering
most of the country with the exception of the California coast where
ridging is start to build in. This pattern is bringing a broad NW
flow to the region and will help drive a cold front through the
state early this morning. Front will move through with little if any
fanfare except for a wind shift and a slight chance of showers over
the far south. No measurable precipitation is expected from this
FROPA but guidance finally starts to scour out this persistent cloud
cover with a return to sunshine just in time to start the new work
week Monday.
High temperatures today will climb into the mid 40s to mid 50s but
will steady out or drop a little bit over the north as another shot
of colder air follows the front for Monday. This cool down will be
brief as surface high pressure moving across the region will bring a
return to low level southerly flow and warmer temperatures. Highs on
Tuesday will be back in the 50s area wide with much of the state
climbing back into the 60s on Wednesday.
Pattern becomes highly amplified by the end of the week as strong
ridging develops along the west coast with significant troughing
over the eastern third of the country. This in turn will drive
another dry cold front through Thursday afternoon and evening. With
the increase in cloud cover with this boundary and winds going back
to the north after its passage, temperatures on Thursday will be
knocked back down somewhat.
High pressure will then drop down out of Canada and settle over the
area next weekend. Saturday will be the coolest day with high temps
only topping out in the mid 30s to lower 40s but warmer readings
will return Sunday as the high slips to the east of the state.
