.KEY MESSAGES...

 - Quiet weather returns on Sunday with temperatures rising well
   above normal by midweek.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 211 AM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025

Any lingering wintry precipitation across the area will dissipate as
a broad upper trough departs to the east. Lows this morning will
fall below freezing for all but the southern Rolling Plains. As
such, icy conditions may develop on untreated roadways. Use caution
if traveling. Skies will clear overnight and all temperatures in the
CWA should rise back above freezing by around 11AM. Light northerly
winds in the wake of the trough will keep highs below normal despite
the abundant sunshine, only reaching the 50s. Winds will switch to
light southwesterlies later this evening and clear skies will
persist into the overnight hours Monday.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 211 AM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025

Quiet weather is the story this week into next weekend. Northerly
upper flow will transition to the northwest by Tuesday as upper
ridging begins to build across the West Coast. This upper ridge will
amplify and progress slowly eastward through the week with the ridge
axis moving over the Rockies by Thursday. Surface lee troughing will
keep winds out of the southwest through Thursday which in turn will
help warm highs to the low/upper 80s area wide Wednesday. A week
cold front will push through the region Thursday as an upper
disturbance moves from the central US/Canada border Wednesday to the
Ohio River Valley Thursday. This will drop highs into the 70s
Thursday before climbing into the 90s by the weekend as the upper
ridge axis begins to approach the FA. Precip chances will be lacking
through the next week.
