ISSUED AT 224 PM CST SUN JAN 25 2026
HIGH PRESSURE WAS CENTERED OVER THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EXTENDED SOUTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. TWO
AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE WERE AFFECTING SOUTHEAST WITH ONE OVER
SOUTHEASTERN KENTUCKY AND THE OTHER OVER SOUTHEASTERN ALABAMA.
THESE ARE WHAT BROUGHT SNOW TO THE REGION OVER THE LAST TWO
DAYS. ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED NEAR OMAHA WITH A
COLD FRONT TRAILING BACK INTO NORTHERN KANSAS AND NORTHEASTERN
COLORADO. CLEAR SKIES WERE SEEN ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS AND
NORTHWESTERN MISSOURI. WITH THE FRESH SNOWPACK AND CLEAR SKIES
TONIGHT, LOWS WILL DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO. AS
HIGH PRESSURE SINKS TO THE SOUTH ACROSS THE PLAINS, A WEAK
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN OVERHEAD AND PREVENT WINDS FROM
SUBSIDING OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL LEAD TO WIND CHILLS FALLING INTO
THE TEENS AND 20S BELOW ZERO. A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN
EFFECT FOR ALL OF THE CWA THROUGH NOON MONDAY.
THE REGION WILL THEN BE UNDER A NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME THROUGH
MOST OF THE COMING WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW
NORMAL ALONG WITH GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS. THERE WILL BE A COLD
FRONT MOVING THROUGH MIDWEEK, BUT THIS LOOKS TO BE A DRY FRONTAL
PASSAGE. ANOTHER WAVE MOVING THROUGH DURING THE THURSDAY NIGHT-
FRIDAY TIME PERIOD WILL BRING A LOW CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS WITH
ANOTHER CHANCE LATER IN THE WEEKEND. NONE OF THESE CHANCES LOOK
SIGNIFICANT AT THIS TIME. AS FOR TEMPERATURES, HIGHS FOR MONDAY
AND TUESDAY HAVE BEEN LOWERED JUST A TOUCH GIVEN THE FRESH
SNOWPACK. MONDAY WILL SEE HIGHS IN THE TEENS WITH 20S FOR
TUESDAY. WEDNESDAY WILL BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK WITH
HIGHS IN THE 20S AND LOWER 30S BEFORE MORE COLD AIR ARRIVES
WEDNESDAY NIGHT DROPPING HIGHS BACK INTO THE TEENS AND 20S FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. SOME WARMER AIR IS EXPECTED FOR THE
WEEKEND, BUT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL.
