.DISCUSSION...
(This afternoon through next Wednesday)
Issued at 1132 AM CST FRI DEC 19 2025

GOES TPW imagery reveals a large swath of significantly drier air in
place across much of the southeast. This influx of drier air and
surface high pressure will keep us rain-free over the next couple of
days. Moisture will slowly push back into the region on Sunday as
yesterday`s front retreats north. Meanwhile, an upper trough moving
across the Great Lakes region will kick a cold front our way. The
combination of slightly increased lift and moisture, isentropic
lift in the 290-295K layer, and a H7 vort max swinging through
will warrant a low (15-25%) chance of showers on Sunday and
Monday.

Broad ridging builds in by midweek, leading to a warming trend as we
head towards Christmas. High temps climb up into the low to mid 70s
for Christmas Eve and Christmas.
