414 AM CDT MON MAR 23 2026
DISCUSSION
A COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH QUICKLY SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS
NORTHERN AL EARLY THIS MORNING, WITH A SHARP WIND SHIFT TO THE
NORTH EXPECTED FOR ALL FIRE WEATHER ZONES BY 8 AM CDT. ALTHOUGH
VERY LOW PROBABILITIES FOR A LIGHT SHOWER EXIST IN THE VICINITY OF
THE FRONT (AND SIMILAR PROBABILITIES FOR LIGHT SPRINKLES OF RAIN
IN ITS WAKE), CHANCES FOR WETTING RAIN ARE VERY LOW. STRONG NORTH
WINDS WILL ADVECT A COOLER/DRIER AIRMASS INTO THE REGION
THROUGHOUT THE DAY, WITH POSTFRONTAL STRATUS CLOUDS EXPECTED TO
DISSIPATE BY LATE THIS MORNING OR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER,
THICK HIGH CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION EARLY THIS
EVENING AS AN UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE TRACKS SOUTHEASTWARD FROM
THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS FEATURE MAY BRING ADDITIONAL LIGHT
RAINFALL TO THE REGION ON TUESDAY. SMOKE DISPERSION INDICES WILL
BE GOOD TODAY, BUT WILL FALL INTO THE GENERALLY GOOD CATEGORY
TOMORROW AS TRANSPORT WINDS SUBSIDE. IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD, WE
EXPECT A WARMING TREND TO BEGIN BY MID-WEEK, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER
COLD FRONT AND SOME LIGHT RAIN ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. MINRH
VALUES MAY DROP INTO THE 20-30% RANGE IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT ON
SATURDAY/SUNDAY.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: NONE AT THIS TIME.
POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS: NONE AT THIS TIME.
