Updated at 414 PM MST Sun Dec 7 2025 - The dry stretch of weather with above normal warmth continues through the next 7 days with strong northwesterly breezes Tuesday afternoon creating crosswinds on highways. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday night) Issued at 1155 AM MST Sun Dec 7 2025 A warming trend will commence tonight through Monday night, and beyond.

Some near record high temperatures are forecast on the east central and southeast plains Thursday afternoon. The National Blend of Models has temperatures cooling around 5 to 14 degrees in the east on Friday, and a few degrees in many western locations too, as a longwave trough deepens over the central US, and a ridge of high pressure builds off the west coast.

Peak gusts will probably reach around 50 mph Tuesday afternoon across eastern Torrance and western Guadalupe Counties, including I-40 from Clines Corners eastward almost all of the way to Santa Rosa. && .AVIATION...
