..NEW DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGES
- WARM AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE
UPCOMING WEEK.
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 350 AM CST SUN FEB 8 2026
A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE THE PRIMARY INFLUENCE ON FORECAST
AREA WEATHER THROUGH THIS WEEK RESULTING IN ABOVE NORMAL WARMTH
AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS. SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL SUPPORT
THE DEVELOPMENT OF LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING LOW STRATUS/FOG.
A COUPLE OF WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGHS ARE FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH
THE MEAN RIDGE POSITION DURING THE MID/LATE WEEK, AND THESE MAY
BRING LIGHT RAINFALL. FORECAST CONFIDENCE DROPS CONSIDERABLY AS WE
GO INTO NEXT WEEKEND DUE TO LARGE AMOUNTS OF UNCERTAINTY
CONCERNING WHERE A POTENTIALLY ACTIVE BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL SET
UP. WILL NOTE HOWEVER THAT THERE WAS AN UPTICK IN THE POTENTIAL
FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL WITH THE MOST RECENT
GUIDANCE. /EC/
