(Tonight through Wednesday night) Issued at 1214 PM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 Quiet weather is expected today with mostly clear skies, light wind and highs from the mid 70s to mid 80s this afternoon. Dry and cool air today will be replaced by even drier and colder air late tonight into Wednesday morning as a re-enforcing cold front moves into the area from the north. Increasing northeasterly wind overnight will aid in temperatures dipping into the mid 40s across the Hill Country and southern Edwards Plateau with low temperatures in the upper 40s to mid 50s elsewhere. Winds will be around 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 to 35 mph, with isolated locations up to 40 mph through the morning hours tomorrow. Winds will steadily decline from west to east during the afternoon, becoming light by the evening. Highs will mainly be in the 60s Wednesday afternoon under mostly sunny skies. A cold start is expected for Thanksgiving as lows reach into the upper 30s and 40s for the start of Thursday. Some rural low-lying areas in the Hill Country or southern Edwards Plateau may even see a brief patchy freeze. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through next Tuesday) Issued at 1214 PM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 Thanksgiving Day should be rather pleasant if you enjoy Fall temperatures with highs mainly in the 60s under mostly sunny skies. A pattern change takes place Friday into the weekend as a trough moves over the western US and southerly flow returns over much of Texas bringing increased moisture back to the area. Low rain chances enter the forecast as early as Friday and continue through the extended period. The best chances for rain come Saturday in our far eastern areas, but its still too early to tell exactly where and when rain falls for the weekend in this regime. There is a bit more continuity in models bringing a strong cold front through the area for the latter half of the weekend. Did go slightly colder than the NBM given newest guidance for Sunday into early next week and will need to watch the trends as we still may be too warm for highs and lows. Moisture may remain early next week so low precipitation chances remain. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1214 PM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 Very few changes for this forecast with VFR ceilings and light winds through early evening before cold air advection ramps up overnight. Strong north to northeasterly winds of 12-16kts with gusts of 22-26 kts can be expected from about midnight through midday Wednesday before beginning to relax in the late afternoon hours. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
