.SHORT TERM...

(Today and tonight)

Issued at 228 AM CDT Mon Apr 7 2025



Quiet conditions will dominate the region today and tonight. Surface 

high pressure extending from the Big Bend will keep winds light 

through the morning. Along with clear skies, this will allow temps 

to drop to near to just below freezing across much of the FA. While 

dewpoints in the upper 20s or higher will keep morning temps from 

cratering, it will allow for frost to develop areawide even if temps 

remain above freezing. A weak front (in the form of a northerly wind 

shift with no real effect on temps) will push through the FA by 

early afternoon as a shortwave trough develops within the

northerly upper flow. The shortwave trough will be quickly 

replaced with upper ridging by the early evening. Winds will 

continue to remain light today and tonight as surface high 

pressure continues to dominate Texas. Winds will be mostly out of 

the south tonight as the aforementioned surface high settles over 

central Texas and will keep overnight lows in the mid 30s to low 

40s.

.LONG TERM...

(Tuesday through Sunday)

Issued at 228 AM CDT Mon Apr 7 2025



A weak upper ridge will gradually build in today, however light 

northerly surface winds will persist, keeping highs in the mid- 

to-upper 60s. Low pressure will develop over the Rockies by 

Wednesday and resultant surface SW flow in our area will warm 

temperatures into the mid-to-upper 70s. A surface cold front will 

bring a brief cool down Thursday and Friday, before a stronger 

ridge will again warm temperatures back up this weekend, with 

widespread highs in the 90s likely by Sunday. Mostly clear skies 

will continue through the entire forecast period.
