.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Tuesday)
Issued at 1119 AM CST Mon Dec 22 2025

Record breaking heat is still on par for today due to upper ridging
and breezy westerly winds. Upper ridging will persist over much of
Texas today keeping conditions warm and dry. Westerly winds have
begun to increase across the region as a lee surface trough
developed. Breezy winds up to 20 mph and gusts up to 25 mph are
expected to prevail through later this afternoon. As the winds
continue to ramp up, current temperatures in the 60s will continue
to warm to the upper 70s and lower 80s. KLBB has the potential today
to break the record high of 79 last set in 1969 with a forecast high
of 80 degrees. Winds will shift to the southwest and weaken just
after sunset as the pressure gradient weakens. Otherwise, will be a
quiet night of mostly clear skies with lows in the upper 30s to
lower 50s. Another warm and dry day is expected Tuesday as the upper
ridge continues to linger over much of Texas. WAA from slightly
breezy southwesterly surface winds will warm temperatures to the
upper 70s to lower 80s. KLBB will be close to tying the record high
of 80 degrees last set in 1964 with a forecast high of 80 degrees.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 1119 AM CST Mon Dec 22 2025

Sadly, the possible record breaking heat is expected to continue
through the rest of this week. Upper ridging will persist overhead
through Thursday before gradually flattening by early Friday giving
way to mostly zonal flow aloft. Highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s
are expected through Saturday with Christmas looking to be the
warmest day of the long term forecast. Christmas Day has the
potential to break record highs at both KLBB and KCDS. The record
high for KLBB is 76 degrees set in 1955 and KCDS is 77 degrees set
in 1971 with forecast highs of 80 and 84 degrees, respectively. We
will finally catch a break from warmer than normal temperatures and
dry conditions beginning next week. An upper level low will track
east across the U.S./Canada border while a secondary low develops
off the coast of SoCal. The northern low will a cold front through
the region Saturday bringing cooler temperatures and precipitation
chances beginning Sunday.
