SHORT TERM
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 217 AM CST FRI FEB 20 2026
EXPECT WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ELEVATED FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WEST OF SWEETWATER TO SAN ANGELO TO
OZONA LINE THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS AND DRY
AIR. PLEASE FOLLOW FIRE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM
THE MID 60S NORTHEAST TO AROUND 80 SOUTHWEST. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL
REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING, UPPER 30S TO MID 40S.
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1232 AM CST FRI FEB 20 2026
OUR LONG RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A COUPLE OF DISTURBANCES
ALOFT MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS THROUGH SATURDAY.
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO SWING A COLD
FRONT ACROSS OUR AREA ON SATURDAY MORNING. THIS WOULD LEAVE MUCH
COOLER HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 60S FOR MUCH OF OUR AREA.
THIS WOULD BE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FROM THE ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.
HIGH PRESSURE SUBSEQUENTLY STARTS TO REBUILD BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.
TEMPERATURES WILL, THEREFORE, START ON A WARMING TREND WITH HIGHS
IN THE MIDDLE 80S TO NEAR 90 BY WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.
