DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1031 PM CST MON JAN 26 2026
TONIGHT WILL BE THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE WEEK FOR THE MAJORITY OF
SITES ACROSS THE ARKLATEX, AND WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A PRONOUNCED
WARMING TREND TOMORROW AND THROUGH MUCH OF THE REST OF THE WORK
WEEK. LOWS STILL LOOK TO REACH THE SINGLE DIGITS NORTH OF THE I-30
CORRIDOR AND MIDDLE TEENS SOUTH. SOME PATCHY FREEZING FOG MAY BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES, BUT GIVEN THE CURRENT STATE OF
ROADS ACROSS THE REGION, ANY SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL NOT INTRODUCE
MORE OF A HAZARD THAN ALREADY EXISTS.
HIGHS TOMORROW WILL CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 30S NORTHWEST TO UPPER 40S
SOUTHWEST, ALLOWING SIGNIFICANT MELTING UNDER SUNNY SKIES BEFORE NEW
CLOUD COVER MOVES IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. AS PSEUDO-ZONAL FLOW
PREVAILS ALOFT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, THIS TREND WILL
CONTINUE, WITH MORE WIDESPREAD HIGHS IN THE 40S AND 50S, AND SUB-
FREEZING LOWS IN THE 20S AT NIGHT, WHILE QUIET CONDITIONS CONTINUE.
BY LATE THURSDAY, PREVAILING UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL SHIFT SHARPLY
NORTHWESTERLY, FUNNELING A COLDER AIRMASS INTO THE REGION, WHILE A
WEAK SHORTWAVE ATTEMPTS TO KICK UP A BRIEF WAVE OF MOISTURE
OVERNIGHT THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. SLIGHT CHANCES OF SHOWERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THURSDAY EVENING, WITH SOME EMBEDDED WINTRY MIX POSSIBLE
NORTH TOWARDS DAWN. BEAR IN MIND, THESE CHANCES REMAIN SLIGHT, AND
IMPACTS SHOULD BE SHORT-LIVED, IF ANY DEVELOP. THE REMAINDER OF
FRIDAY WILL BE QUIET AND SEE SKIES CLEAR AS MUCH COLDER AIR MOVES
IN, BRINGING ANOTHER NIGHT OF TEENS AND SINGLE DIGITS SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY MORNINGS, WHILE AFTERNOON HIGHS GRADUALLY REBOUND FROM NEAR
FREEZING SATURDAY BACK INTO THE 40S AND 50S BY THE END OF THIS
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD.
