DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 255 PM CST MON JAN 12 2026
NORTH TO NORTHWESTELRY FLOW ALOFT IS ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE
PERIOD WITH MULTIPLE (MOSTLY DRY) DISTURBANCES PASSING BY THE
REGION. THE MOST IMPACTFUL WEATHER OF THE WEEK WILL LIKELY BE
THE VERY STRONG WINDS ANTICIPATED LATER THIS WEEK, WITH GUSTS TO
55 MPH POSSIBLE ON FRIDAY.
LOOKING AT SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON, PLENTY OF CIRRUS
CAN BE STREAMING ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA IN NORTHWEST FLOW. EXPECT
THIS CLOUD COVER TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, WHICH
COMBINED WITH STEADY WESTERLY WINDS, WILL HELP KEEP UP LOW
TEMPERATURES MOSTLY IN THE MID-30S TO START THE DAY ON TUESDAY.
THESE TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY CLOSE TO WHAT ARE NORMAL HIGHS
FOR MID-JANUARY.
FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON, EXPECT A COLD FRONT TO RAPIDLY PUSH
SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH A WEAK
DISTURBANCE ALOFT HELPING AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW LIGHT
SHOWERS/SPRINKLES. OVERALL, QPF AMOUNTS LOOK VERY MINIMAL (T-A
FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH OF PRECIP), BUT MOST MODELS HAVE SOME
LIGHT QPF BEING GENERATED ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA, AND INCREASED
POPS JUST A BIT AS FULLY EXPECT SOME SHOWERS AND SPRINKLES
AROUND MUCH OF THE LOCAL AREA MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY
EVENING HOURS...ALTHOUGH SOME LIGHT SHOWERS/SPRINKLES/FLURRIES
COULD EXTEND ACROSS THE NORTHERN PARTS OF OUR FORECAST AREA TO
START THE DAY WEDNESDAY AS INDICATED IN THE GLOBAL MODELS.
BEYOND WEDNESDAY, THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES EVEN MORE
AMPLIFIED AS HIGH PRESSURE EXPANDING NORTH ACROSS THE WEST COAST
RESULTS IN A MORE NORTHERLY FLOW PATTERN ACROSS THE PLAINS. AS
A RESULT, AFTER A BRIEF UPTICK IN TEMPS THURSDAY, A MORE
PROLONGED STRETCH OF COOLER WEATHER RETURNS FRIDAY THROUGH
MONDAY BEFORE THE LONGWAVE TROUGH ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT FURTHER
EAST TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, WHEN A MORE
NORTHWESTERLY/MILD FLOW RETURNS. IN THE MEANTIME, AS THIS PUSH
OF COLDER AIR MAKES ITS WAY ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY, EXPECT A
VERY WINDY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGION AND WILL NEED TO CONTINUE
TO MONITOR AS WIND GUSTS TO 55 MPH CURRENTLY LOOK LIKE THE MOST
IMPACTFUL WEATHER OF THE PERIOD.
