DISCUSSION
(THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1119 PM CST SUN JAN 25 2026
WRAP AROUND FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, WITH MANY
LOCATIONS ALREADY REPORTING LIGHT DUSTINGS. HOWEVER, THIS
ACTIVITY WILL GENERALLY DIMINISH INTO THE MORNING HOURS AS THE LOW
PRESSURE CONTINUES TO MOVE OUT OF THE REGION. A COLD WEATHER
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT, AS
FRIGID AIR WORKS INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT. APPARENTT'S
TONIGHT WILL RANGE BETWEEN -1 NORTH AND 15 SOUTH, BEFORE SLIGHTLY
CLIMBING TO BETWEEN 5-20 DEGREES TOMORROW NIGHT.
COLD TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN THE WEATHER STORY FOR THE MAJORITY
OF THIS FORECAST, AS A SERIES OF TROUGHS AND COLD FRONTS WILL KEEP
THIS FRIGID AIR ACROSS THE REGION. IN FACT, THE WARMEST DAY THIS
WEEK MAY BE THURSDAY, WHERE HIGHS WILL ONLY RANGE IN THE UPPER-30S
NORTH, TO UPPER-40S SOUTH. GENERALLY, HIGHS WILL RANGE IN THE 30S
AND 40S FOR MOST OF THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. LOWS WON'T BE MUCH
BETTER, WITH THEM GENERALLY RANGING IN THE LOW TO MID-20S. LOWS
COULD ALSO FALL INTO THE TEENS AGAIN BY NEXT WEEKEND, AS THE
DEEPEST SYSTEM IN THE FORECAST PERIOD WORKS INTO THE AREA. THE
SILVER LINING HERE IS THAT NEXT WEEKEND KEEPS TRENDING DRIER AND
DRIER, AS THE SURFACE LOWS KEEP GETTING PUSHED FARTHER SOUTH. IN
TURN, ADDITIONAL WINTER WEATHER KEEPS LOOKING LESS LIKELY AT THIS
TIME.
