ISSUED AT 330 AM CST SAT FEB 7 2026
POLAR SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE NORTHEAST CONUS IS
BRINGING OUR REGION A TEMPORARY RETURN TO COOLER TEMPERATURES
THIS WEEKEND, AND LOWS TONIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW FREEZING
OVER NORTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE
COOLER AIR WILL MAKE A QUICK EXIT HOWEVER AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDS IN FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK. A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING
THROUGH THE MEAN RIDGE POSITION WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BRING
LIGHT RAINFALL MID WEEK, BUT OTHERWISE, THIS WEATHER PATTERN WILL
BRING A LONG DURATION OF WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS. LOOKING AHEAD TO
THE END OF THE WEEK, THE RIDGE SHOULD BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN AND
ALLOW AN ACTIVE FRONTAL SYSTEM TO IMPACT OUR REGION, BUT THERE IS
A LARGE AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH WHERE THE BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL
SET UP, AND THIS MAKES FORECAST CONFIDENCE QUITE LOW. /EC/
