DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1227 PM CST WED FEB 4 2026
TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...
A MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO SWING EAST THROUGH THE
REGION THROUGH LATE TONIGHT, FORCING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH LATE MORNING. CLOUDS WILL BE A BIT SLOWER TO
EXIT, AS MUCH OF THE DAY WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CLOUDY TO THE NORTH.
OTHERWISE IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT, BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
SETUP BRINGING COLDER DRIER AIR BACK INTO THE REGION. HIGHS TODAY
WILL RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE 40S NORTH TO UPPER 50S SOUTH. CLOUDS
WILL GRADUALLY EXIT THE REGION OVERNIGHT, WITH LOWS THURSDAY
MORNING GENERALLY FALLING INTO THE 20S.
ANOTHER CHILLY, BUT QUIET DAY IS IN STORE FOR TOMORROW. NORTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT WILL SETUP ACROSS THE REGION, BUT SURFACE WINDS WILL
STEADILY BECOME MORE WEST AND SOUTHWESTERLY THROUGH TOMORROW
NIGHT. HIGHS WILL AGAIN RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE 40S TO MIDDLE 50S.
HOWEVER WITH THE ONSET OF THE SOUTHWEST WINDS, LOWS TOMORROW WILL
BE SLIGHTLY WARMER AS THEY RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S TO MIDDLE
30S.
FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY...
THE MIDDLE AND EXTENDED PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST WILL REMAIN
RATHER QUIET. TEMPERATURES DURING THIS TIME WILL MODERATE UP TO
ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS AS RIDGING ALOFT BUILDS EAST INTO AND
EVENTUALLY THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE LATE WEEKEND/ EARLY NEXT
WEEK TIMEFRAME. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST
AREA ON SATURDAY. HOWEVER, OTHER THAN SOME INCREASED CLOUD COVER,
NO RAIN IS CURRENTLY FORECAST TO ACCOMPANY IT. AT THE MOMENT, THE
NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR ANY RAIN OVER THE FORECAST AREA COMES IN THE
FORM OF ISOLATED SHOWERS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD ON TUESDAY, AS
MOISTURE INCREASES UNDER SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF COLD FRONT MOVING
EAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. /19/OAJ/
