DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 131 PM CST FRI FEB 6 2026
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE HAS MOVED EAST OF THE REGION, BUT A DRY
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW HAS KEPT CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE FOUR STATE
REGION TODAY. DESPITE A WEAK PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH PUSHING THROUGH
THE AREA, WHICH HAS SHIFTED WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST, MUCH WARMER
CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL
LIKELY TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S, WHICH COULD RESULT
IN RECORD HIGHS FOR A FEW LOCATIONS. LATE THIS EVENING INTO THE
PRE-DAWN HOURS SATURDAY, A COOL FRONT WILL BACK DOOR INTO THE
REGION. IT WON'T BRING A VERY NOTICEABLE CHANGE TO OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF NIGHTS, BUT AFTERNOON HIGHS
ON SATURDAY WILL BE 15-20 DEGREES LOWER THAN TODAY OVER MOST OF
THE REGION. IT DOESN'T APPEAR ANY PRECIPITATION WILL ACCOMPANY
THIS FRONT. IN FACT, UPPER RIDGING IS EXPECTED TO QUICKLY SETTLE
INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT FOR SEVERAL DAYS, RESULTING IN
DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE FIRST PORTION OF NEXT WEEK. THE COOLER
CONDITIONS WILL ONLY STICK AROUND FOR A BRIEF PERIOD, AS THE COOL
FRONT WILL RETURN BACK NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT ON SUNDAY.
EXPECT HIGHS ON SUNDAY, AND AGAIN ON MONDAY, TO RETURN BACK INTO
THE LOW TO MID 70S.
THE WARMER CONDITIONS WILL STICK AROUND FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK, BUT
THE UPPER PATTERN WILL START TO SHIFT. UPPER RIDGING WILL SLIDE EAST
OF THE REGION LATE MONDAY EVENING AHEAD OF A CLOSED UPPER TROUGH
SHIFTING EASTWARD OUT OF BAJA & NORTHERN MEXICO. FLOW ALOFT WILL
BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY, WHILE SOUTHEASTERLY SURFACE WINDS BRING
INCREASING LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. THE CLOSED TROUGH
WILL WEAKEN AND OPEN UP AS IT RIDES THE FLOW INTO OUR REGION ON
TUESDAY, BUT THE DYNAMICS SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR WIDESPREAD
RAIN TO RETURN ACROSS THE REGION. THERE ARE STILL SOME TIMING
ISSUES TO RESOLVE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH THIS SYSTEM, BUT
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT SOME OF THIS PRECIPITATION COULD LINGER INTO
WEDNESDAY. DRY CONDITIONS MAY RETURN BY THURSDAY, BUT ANOTHER COOL
FRONT COULD BRING ADDITIONAL WELCOMED RAINFALL BY THE END OF THE
WORK WEEK. /20/
