SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)

MILD TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN STORE FOR THE SHORT TERM AS A HIGH

LONG TERM
(SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 202 PM CST THU FEB 5 2026
SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY CONTINUE TO BE MOSTLY DRY AND ABOVE
NORMAL FOR TEMPERATURES. ALTHOUGH WEDNESDAY MAY BE THE EXCEPTIONS
FOR TEMPERATURES AS WE'RE TRACKING A WEAK COLD FRONT IN THE
EXTENDED THAT MAY MOVE THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
STARTING SATURDAY, WE WILL BE WATCHING FOR SOME ELEVATED FIRE
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE PANHANDLES AS RH VALUES WILL RANGE 12-20
PERCENT AND WINDS LOOK TO BE 15-20 MPH, MAYBE UPWARDS OF 25 MPH IF
THEY OVER PERFORM. RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD SUPPORT SOME AREAS TO SEE
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER. OTHERWISE VERY WARM TEMPERATURES ON
SATURDAY, WITH A COOLDOWN IN THE 60S TO THE EAST AS THE REMNANTS
OF A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT CLIPS THE EASTERN PANHANDLES. THAT
COOLER AIR WILL STALL TO THE EAST AS IT COLLIDES WITH THE WARM
SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF A CUTOFF UPPER LOW OVER THE BAJA. THIS IS
THE SYSTEM WE'LL HAVE TO WATCH TO SEE IF ANY MOISTURE OR
SIGNIFICANT COOLDOWN WILL BE IN STORE FOR THE TAIL END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. RIGHT NOW MOST OF THE MOISTURE SHOULD BE TO THE
SOUTH, BUT THERE HAS BEEN SOME HINTS THAT THE SOUTHEAST PANHANDLES
MAY GET CLIPPED WITH SOME RAIN ON TUESDAY.
