KEY MESSAGES
ISSUED AT 1206 PM CST SAT JAN 31 2026
-ROLLER COASTER TEMPERATURES ARE IN STORE FOR THE NEXT WEEK
STARTING OFF MILD, THEN COOLER MID-WEEK, BACK TO WARM TO CLOSE
OUT THE WEEK.
-VERY LOW CHANCE (<15%) MID WEEK THAT WE HAVE LIGHT WINTRY
PRECIPITATION.
SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 119 PM CST SAT JAN 31 2026
LOW CLOUDS ON SATELLITE ARE LINGERING A BIT LONGER THAN
ANTICIPATED OVER PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN PANHANDLES.
THIS IS KEEPING THE TEMPERATURES MUCH COOLER THAN FORECAST, WHERE
MOST OF THIS AREA MAY NOT GET OUT OF THE 30S TODAY. WITH SOUTHWEST
WINDS IN PLAY, AND WARMER AIR ATTEMPTING TO ERODE THAT COLDER AIR,
THERE IS A LOW CHANCE THAT LATE IN THE DAY IT CLEARS, AND WE GET
A QUICK TEMPERATURE SPIKE IN THE LOW 40S, BUT IT WILL BE SHORT
LIVED AS TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BACK DOWN IN THE LOW 20S TONIGHT.
ALSO, WITH THIS SOUTHWEST FLOW THE CHANCES OF GETTING FREEZING FOG
ANYWHERE TONIGHT IS VERY LOW <10%.
FOR SUNDAY, WE EXPECT SOUTHWEST WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH TO HELP KEEP
THE TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S, AND DRY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TO PERSIST.
WEBER
LONG TERM
(MONDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 119 PM CST SAT JAN 31 2026
MONDAY A SHORTWAVE TROUGH EMBEDDED IN NORTHWEST FLOW WILL HELP
DRIVE A PUSH OF WARMER AIR FROM THE SOUTHWEST OVER THE PANHANDLES.
THAT WILL REALLY HELP BOOST TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER
70S FOR THE HIGH. AS THE SYSTEM EXITS MONDAY NIGHT A WEAK COLD
FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH PULLING TEMPERATURES BACK A BIT ON
TUESDAY. BUT EVEN BY LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON WE'LL SEE ANOTHER
ATTEMPT AT WARMER AIR FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO MOVE INTO THE
PANHANDLES. HIGHS ON TUESDAY LOOK TO BE 50S TO MAYBE LOWER 60S.
TUESDAY NIGHT WE'LL GET A SECOND PUSH OF COLD AIR, AND THERE MAY
EVEN BE A LITTLE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED. THIS COULD LEAD TO SOME
LIGHT WINTRY PRECIPITATION, BUT IT ALSO MAY BE WARM ENOUGH FOR
JUST LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE. DRY NORTHWEST FLOW RETURNS FOR BOTH
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH HIGHS RETURNING BACK INTO THE 60S BOTH
DAYS, AND WE MAY EVEN GET TO THE LOW 70S AS WELL.
WEBER
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1125 AM CST SAT JAN 31 2026
LOW CLOUDS CONTINUE TO LINGER IN THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL
PANHANDLES, AND THAT CONTINUES TO LEAD TO MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS AT
ALL TAF SITES. THE CLOUDS LOOK LIKE THEY WILL PERSIST FOR ANOTHER
3-6 HOURS AS SOUTHWEST WINDS SHOULD BRING IN SOME WARMER AIR AND
HELP CLEAR IT OUT. WILL NOT RULE OUT THE RETURN OF THE LOWER
CLOUDS TONIGHT. THE MORE LIKELY SITE WOULD BE KAMA FOR THE LOW
CLOUDS, BUT DUE TO LOWER CONFIDENCE WE'LL HOLD OFF ON THE MENTION
IN THE TAFS. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST 10-15KTS
FOR THE TAF PERIOD.
