.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Thursday night)
Issued at 157 PM CST Wed Jan 22 2025

A large scale positively tilted trough centered over the Great
Lakes still encompasses most of the CONUS, with the mild air only
existing along the West Coast and southern Florida. Most of the
moisture has pushed off to the east coast or is non-existent.
Another push of reinforced colder air has moved through the
Panhandles. Lows tonight will be back down in the teens to
possibly single digits. Highs tomorrow will only be in the 30s,
but breezy northwest winds the wind chill for most of the late
morning to early afternoon will be in the 20s. Winds will become
lighter overnight tomorrow, with not much change in the lows from
tonights lows.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 157 PM CST Wed Jan 22 2025

A brief pocket of warmer air is expected to intrude on Friday and
that will allow for highs to be in the 50s across the Panhandles
But this will be short lived as another cold front is expected to
move in on Saturday, and this one could linger for the weekend.
Overall, weekend highs wont be too bad (in the upper 30s to lower
40s), but it still will be a pull back from Friday. By Monday
we`ll start to recover in temperatures with highs back in the 40s
and a new system setting up off the Baja, that may very well play
a role in some sort of active weather on Tuesday. Right now it`s
too early to tell the track of this system,but there is a chance
for rain to return to the Panhandles, but we will not rule it out
as snow either. We`ll be watching this system for possible
impacts.
