KEY MESSAGES

- COOLER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY BEHIND A STRONG COLD
FRONT, WITH LOWS DROPPING INTO THE 20S TONIGHT.
SHORT TERM
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 257 AM CST SAT JAN 10 2026
STRONG COLD FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH ALL OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS
EARLY THIS MORNING. IT WILL BE MUCH COOLER TODAY, WITH HIGHS IN
THE 50S AREA WIDE. GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON HOURS BUT SHOULD COME DOWN THIS EVENING AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT RELAXES. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION
OVERNIGHT. WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES, LIGHT WINDS, AND A VERY DRY
AIRMASS IN PLACE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE 20S
AREA WIDE TONIGHT. THE COLDEST READINGS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU AND NORTHWEST HILL COUNTY WHERE WE COULD
SEE SOME OF THE RIVER VALLEYS AND SHELTERED AREAS DROP INTO THE
LOWER 20S OR EVEN THE TEENS IF IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS ARE REALIZED. REGARDLESS, IT WILL BE A CHILLY NIGHT.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 116 PM CST SAT JAN 10 2026
THE FIRST PART OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK WILL SEE TEMPERATURES START
TO RECOVER FROM THE MOST RECENT COLD AIRMASS. A WEAK UPPER-LEVEL
LOW IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM WILL MOVE EASTWARD INTO FAR WEST TEXAS BY
MONDAY EVENING. THIS WILL INTRODUCE A LOW CHANCE (<25%) FOR RAIN
SHOWERS MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING FOR THE CONCHO VALLEY AND
EDWARDS PLATEAU. VERY LIGHT RAINFALL AMOUNTS, IF ANY, ARE EXPECTED
DUE TO THE LACK OF SUFFICIENT MOISTURE. OTHERWISE, TEMPERATURES WILL
BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HIGHS WILL
BE IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S BOTH DAYS, MAINLY DUE TO CLOUD COVER.
THE UPPER-LEVEL FEATURE SHOULD MOVE EASTWARD BY WEDNESDAY AND GET
ABSORBED INTO A MUCH DEEPER TROUGH DIGGING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE
EASTERN US. THIS MORE PROMINENT TROUGH SHOULD PUSH ANOTHER COLD
FRONT THROUGH WEST CENTRAL TEXAS FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THIS
ONE DOESN'T LOOK TO BE AS STRONG AS THE PREVIOUS ONE BECAUSE THE
COLDEST AIR BEHIND IT WILL BE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. TOWARD
THE END OF THE WEEK, MODELS SHOW ANOTHER TROUGH DROPPING
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE HIGH PLAINS. THIS WOULD PUSH A STRONGER COLD
FRONT INTO TEXAS FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. FOR NOW, HIGHS ARE
FORECAST TO BE IN THE 50S WITH LOWS IN THE 30S, BUT THIS WILL BE
WATCHED AS THE WEEK GOES ON FOR ANY FURTHER IMPACTS.
