.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Wednesday night)
Issued at 1135 PM CST Mon Dec 1 2025
Clearing has been taking place at lower levels across most areas
this evening with few to scattered high clouds moving from the west
arriving from the eastern Pacific. At the surface, a high pressure
system is building across the Southern Plains and forecast to push
to the east and northeast throughout the day on Tuesday. A light
northerly wind flow combined with a cold airmass translates to a
cold overnight and early Tuesday morning period with lows forecast
to drop to the freezing mark and even lower across some locations
over the Hill Country and Southern Edwards Plateau. Freezing
temperatures could last for several hours across the Hill Country
including the majority of the Burnet and Williamson Counties, where
a Freeze Warning is in effect from 3 AM through 8 AM Tuesday. Most
areas across the Hill Country and Southern Edwards Plateau are
likely to experience wind chill values in the mid to upper 20s and
areas along the I-35 corridor and Coastal Plains in the upper 20s to
lower 30s. The Rio Grande feel-like temperatures range from the
upper 30s to lower 40s late overnight and daybreak time window.
After a cold start of the day, temperatures are forecast to come up
to the mid and upper 50s and 60s under mostly sunny skies for the
most part. Not as a cold night is forecast for late
tonight/Wednesday morning period with lows in the mid to upper 30s
and 40s. Increased moisture arrives across the local area overnight
and continues throughout the day on Wednesday and especially across
the Coastal Plains and the I-35 Corridor as a coastal low develops
near the middle Texas coast. Rain chances begin over these areas
Wednesday afternoon and evening while expanding to the Hill Country
late Wednesday night into Thursday as a cold front pushes down
through the local area.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 1135 PM CST Mon Dec 1 2025
The cold front pushes into the Texas coast Thursday morning while
rain chances continue across the region with the help of several
perturbations within the southwest flow aloft moving over South
Central Texas. Then, Thursday evening into Friday morning, an upper
level short wave over the Four Corners region pushes into the
southeast and over west Texas keeping rain chances over a good
portion of the local area, however, favoring the Coastal Plains.
Storm totals rainfall forecast range from a few hundredths up to
half inch. Can`t rule locations over the Coastal Plains to get
higher amounts.
Dry weather spreads from west to east on Friday afternoon into the
evening and continues into the weekend. Saturday forecast calls for
dry weather with highs in the 70s for most places across South
Central Texas. A dry cold front is forecast to push over the region
on Sunday with highs near to slightly higher than climate normal
values for this time of the year. Clear skies and light winds
combined with a cold airmass to bring lows into the mid to upper 30s
and 40s on Monday morning.
Dry conditions and high temperatures above normal values stay
through at least mid-week.
