12/21 – Rob “Friday-Eve” Morning Forecast

This morning has brought dense fog due to the combination of clear skies and light winds. Fog will clear and skies will turn partly cloudy during the afternoon hours. Another round of fog will be possible tonight and into early Friday morning, but dense fog should be less prevalent.

A weakening upper level low will move out of the Four Corners into the Arklatex region by Saturday. This will push a weak cold front into the area late Friday night and early Saturday.

A rapidly strengthening Alberta clipper system diving through the Midwest and into the Great Lakes Saturday night and Sunday will drive a second front through the area Sunday morning. The day will start overcast and wet along the Mississippi coast, but should end with clearing skies and colder temperatures will take hold across the forecast area. Sunday will be a transitional day in terms of temperature with daytime highs likely occurring in the morning hours in advance of the strong clipper front. At most, expect highs to climb to around 60 degrees Sunday morning before falling in the afternoon hours.

Christmas morning will bring temps into the low/middle 30s across the southern half of the region. Daytime highs will struggle to climb into the lower 50s Monday afternoon as the coldest part of the airmass moves into the area.
