   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.
