.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 231 AM CST Sat Dec 20 2025

A surface low pressure is moving east across southern Saskatchewan
and Manitoba this morning. The cold front associated with this
system is beginning to swing through our area, ushering in northwest
winds and a slightly cooler airmass. This front remains weak with
temperatures holding in the 40s for the majority of locations. No
precipitation is expected at this time, primarily due to a very dry
sub-cloud layer. By Sunday, surface high pressure settles into the
region, keeping temperatures in the 40s.

Heading into the holiday week, temperatures are expected to climb. A
very anomalous ridge of high pressure develops across much of the
Front Range and Great Plains during the week. This slow moving
feature dominates the forecast, keeping temperatures well-above
normal with dry weather and mostly sunny skies. Afternoon
temperatures in the 50s arrive on Monday and remain through the end
of the week. By Christmas, there is a medium (30-50%) chance that
60s are reached for many. This is potentially record setting heat as
these temperatures are 20 to 25 degrees above normal. Even overnight
temperatures should largely remain above freezing. A White Christmas
is not on the cards, more like a Brown Christmas.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1117 PM CST Fri Dec 19 2025

VFR conditions will prevail through the period. Expect LLWS of
40-50 kts to continue through the early morning hours,
eventually diminishing around 09Z at KOFK, and closer to 11-12Z
at KOMA and KLNK, as a cold front moves in from northwest to
southeast. A few flurries may be possible with the frontal
passage, but wide spread lower visibilities are not likely.
