.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 242 AM CST Wed Dec 24 2025

Record setting warmth that surged into the region yesterday will
continue over the next several days, as a historically strong
(>99th percentile) mid-level ridging and surface high pressure
builds across central CONUS through the rest of the week. Due to
the warmer than expected temperatures yesterday, bumped up the
temperatures several degrees through the rest of the week, where
highs across the state in the upper 70s to lower 80s will
challenge daily record high temperatures (and overnight warm lows)
through the Christmas holiday and into the weekend.

A pattern change is set for Sunday as a much colder polar airmass
surges southward across the eastern half of CONUS. The low center
is currently pegged to track over the Great Lakes region, but a
frontal band extending southwestward will bring increasing rain
chances for Sunday. Based on previous model guidance, this upper
level trough progression is a bit slower. The change in the
current forecast is warmer afternoon temperatures on Sunday as the
frontal passage is timing-wise more for the evening to overnight
hours Sunday into Monday.

Much colder temperatures back to below normal levels by up to 10
degrees will then linger across the state through the early
portions of the week. The weather pattern will then gradually
modify as strong northwesterly flow aloft persists through the
middle of next week before modifying into more zonal flow with
gradual warming going through the end of next week. The main
uncertainties apparent in the extended outlook will be the pace to
which the upper level trough that`ll impact the region starting
Sunday will progress eastward, which then impact how quickly
temperatures may warm mid to late next week.
