291 FXUS64 KFWD 051824 AFDFWD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 1224 PM CST Wed Nov 5 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - High pressure will prevail through the work week resulting in quiet weather and above-normal temperatures. - A weak cold front Friday night will bring night-time lows in the upper 40s and 50s. - A second much stronger cold front will move through Saturday night, bringing well below normal temperatures for Sunday and Monday. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Thursday) Issued at 1224 PM CST Wed Nov 5 2025 We`re still looking at a sunny, dry, but slightly warmer afternoon across the region. Highs will peak the 80s area wide with many locations across the west reaching the upper 80s. A weak cold front will continue to push south into North Texas this afternoon, but it will stall just north/northwest of the DFW Metroplex. The south-southwest winds ahead of the front may become breezy at times with occasional gusts near 20 mph. The surface front will eventually wash out tonight keeping our winds generally from the south through tomorrow. Tonight`s temperatures will also be a few degrees warmer than the last couple of days with lows mainly in the 50s. A few locations across the far western zones may drop to the 40s due to light winds expected. Another seasonably warmer day is forecast on Thursday with highs in the 80s. The upper level ridge responsible for the stable weather pattern will remain over the region but will begin to get displaced as the next set of upper troughs pushes toward the Central U.S. Southerly winds will dominate the lower levels with breezy winds expected in the afternoon and night ahead of the next cold front on Friday. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through next Tuesday) Issued at 1224 PM CST Wed Nov 5 2025 The main story of the long-term continues to be the arrival of the strong cold front late Saturday into Sunday. But before we enjoy the nice and cool weather again, above normal temperatures are still expected Friday and Saturday. A weak surface front will push south on Friday but other than a northerly wind shift, little to no effect to our sensible weather is anticipated. The very anticipated weekend front is still expected to bring a 20+ degree temperature drop from Saturday`s highs. Most locations in North Texas will stay in the mid/upper 50s and Central Texas will see highs in the low 60s. Northerly winds will increase during the day Sunday. The majority of the guidance is showing sustained winds around 15-20 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. However, we can`t rule out occasional gusts around 30-35 mph. Cold air advection and breezy winds will continue Sunday night into Monday morning as surface high pressure moves in from the north. Areas generally along the Red River to the far western zones continue to have the best potential (40-60% chance) to see lows near or just below freezing. Outside of those areas and any other low-lying spot, we`re looking at lows in the mid-upper 30s. Another chilly day is forecast on Monday with highs in the 50s to low 60s. No rain is anticipated with the weekend system. Temperatures will gradually warm up Tuesday and Wednesday as the south winds return to the region. It`s looking like the dry stretch will continue as no rain chances are in the forecast through at least the middle part of next week. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1224 PM CST Wed Nov 5 2025 Quiet weather will continue through the period across all sites. SKC with south-southwest winds are expected the rest of the afternoon as a weak cold front approaches North Texas. No significant impacts expected with this front as it will stall just N/NW of the DFW Metroplex sites. It will eventually wash out overnight with light winds remaining from the south-southeast. Low ceilings will again approach the Brazos Valley region early Thursday morning, but at this time we don`t expect any impacts at any of our sites. VFR will continue tomorrow with south winds increasing to around 10-13 kts in the afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Dallas-Ft.
