SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1130 PM CST TUE JAN 27 2026
A UPPER RIDGE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER SURFACE HIGH WILL AGAIN LEAD TO
COLD TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT. THIS HIGH HOWEVER WILL BE ROUGHLY 10
MB LOWER THAN THE PREVIOUS SURFACE HIGH THAT BROUGHT THE NEGATIVE
DOUBLE-DIGIT WIND CHILLS AND THUS WE WILL NOT SEE TEMPERATURES
AND/OR WIND CHILLS TO THAT EXTENT, ALTHOUGH LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS
WILL DRIVE THEM NEAR ZERO IN SOME AREAS. THE MAIN CONCERN REMAINS
ANY LIQUID REFREEZING ON ROADWAYS. USE CAUTION FOR THE MORNING
COMMUTE, ESPECIALLY ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. THE SURFACE HIGH WILL
MOVE OUT DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS AND A MORE ZONAL FLOW ALOFT
DEVELOPS AS THE RIDGE FLATTENS. ALONG WITH SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE
FLOW, HIGHS WILL WARM FURTHER FROM YESTERDAY, GENERALLY TOPPING OUT
IN THE UPPER 40S ACCOMPANIED BY ABUNDANT SUNSHINE. WSW WINDS WILL
REMAIN ELEVATED INTO THE EVENING.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1130 PM CST TUE JAN 27 2026
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL DEVELOP THURSDAY AS AN UPPER TROUGH
MOVES OVER THE AREA. A SURFACE FRONT WILL ALSO BRING BREEZY
NORTHERLY WINDS SUSTAINED NEAR 20 MPH BY THE AFTERNOON. DESPITE ALL
OF THIS, TEMPERATURES WILL ACTUALLY WARM FROM WEDNESDAY DUE IN PART
TO LOW PRESSURE OVER THE AREA HELPING TO KEEP THE COLDEST AIR
GENERALLY OFF TO THE NORTH AND EAST. HIGHS WILL REACH INTO THE 50S
OVER THE ENTIRE AREA. A SIMILAR PATTERN IS EXPECTED FOR FRIDAY. A
STRONG UPPER LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE SOUTHEAST AND A STRONGER SURFACE
HIGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE AREA SATURDAY. WINDS WILL TURN EAST AS A
SURFACE FRONT MOVES THROUGH AND HIGHS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY FALL BY
ABOUT 10 TO 15 DEGREES FROM FRIDAY. HOWEVER, THIS COOLDOWN WILL ONLY
LAST FOR A SINGLE DAY AS AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD TO THE WEST,
DRIVING OUT THE COLD AIRMASS. HIGHS WILL FINALLY RETURN TO NEAR OR
(GASP) SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
