DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1146 AM CST MON JAN 26 2026
TEMPERATURES TUESDAY WILL BE SIMILAR, BUT WITH INCREASING CLOUD
COVER AND A LIGHTER NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY WIND. WEDNESDAY IS
EXPECTED TO BE THE NICEST DAY OF THE WEEK AS THE TROUGH OF COLD
AIR OVER THE WESTERN CONUS NUDGES EASTWARD SLIGHTLY. RELATIVELY
LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY
HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S (AND POSSIBLY LOW 50S IN THE WEST).
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WARMUP WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS A SHORTWAVE
BRINGS SOME COOLER (NOT OVERLY COLD) AIR TO THE REGION AGAIN ON
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. AS MENTIONED IN THE KEY MESSAGES,
THIS WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED BY PERIODS LIGHT SNOW. GLOBAL
ENSEMBLES HAVE TRENDED UPWARDS SLIGHTLY ON AMOUNTS, ALTHOUGH
MOST LOCATIONS WILL STILL BE LUCKY TO SEE ANYTHING MORE THAN A
DUSTING.
BEYOND THAT, ENSEMBLES STILL FAVOR A WARMING TREND AS WE HEAD
INTO FEBRUARY. THE 00Z EPS SHOWS 7-DAY TEMPERATURE ANOMALIES OF
+5 TO +10 DEGREES (F) FOR FEB 1-7. THE GEFS AND GEPS ARE A
LITTLE MORE RESERVED, BUT STILL FAVOR A WARMING TREND.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES ALSO LOOK PRETTY LACKLUSTER THROUGH AT
LEAST THE FIRST FULL WEEK OF FEBRUARY.
