...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday Night)
Issued at 205 PM CST Fri Feb 21 2025

Cloudy skies continue to move into the region today, which will
limit high temperatures today and keep tonight`s lows up. Winds
will be light tonight, minimizing the need for any cold weather
products to be issued tonight. Clouds will stick around overnight
before beginning to move towards our far southern zones by
daybreak Saturday. That, combined with the southerly flow from
the progressing surface high pressure will allow for a warmer day
Saturday, where highs will reach the high 40s or low 50s. The
clouds will move back into the region from the southeast Saturday
evening ahead of the next round of rain.

The rain will come ahead of an upper-level trough. The associated
surface low in the Gulf will allow for relatively warm, moist air
to move in from the south. As such, the chance of wintry precip
has substantially decreased from previous forecasts. /57/

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through next Thursday)
Issued at 205 PM CST Fri Feb 21 2025

Rain will stick around before moving to the southeast Sunday
afternoon. The upper-level pattern that follows will begin a
gradual warming trend that will allow for afternoon highs of low
to mid 70s by Tuesday. Another weak cold front is expected to move
through the area on Thursday, dropping the temperatures to better
reflect seasonal averages before warming back up on Friday. /57/

&&

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 519 PM CST Fri Feb 21 2025

For the 22/00Z TAFs, MVFR to lower VFR OVC cloud decks will
persist for the better half of this forecast period, gradually
receding from north to south overnight, making way for BKN/SCT VFR
skies in their wake. Mostly quiet weather will continue before
showers return to deep east Texas late tomorrow afternoon,
spreading north into the evening. Winds will become light and
variable overnight before resuming a northerly orientation with
relatively light speeds less than 5 kts through the daylight hours
tomorrow, with limited gusts of less than 10 kts.
