KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1107 PM CST SAT JAN 10 2026

- Cooler temperatures are expected over the week ahead, bringing us back to seasonable ranges. - A few light showers should move across the region sometime Wednesday into Thursday; otherwise, the rest of the upcoming week should feature fair- weather conditions.

DISCUSSION

(Sunday through next Saturday) Issued at 1107 PM CST SAT JAN 10 2026

Dry and colder weather expected today through the first part of next week as high pressure builds in across the region. Morning lows will drop into the 20s by Monday and Tuesday with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s.

Another trough digs down into the region Wednesday into Thursday leading to increased rain chances, though moisture return ahead of this trough is limited. This should keep the coverage of any rain development on the lower side, so I've kept rain chances in the 20- 30% range through Thursday morning. Some guidance tries to pick up on some winter mix early Thursday morning as the trough swings through, pulling sub-freezing air southward. However, that appears to be one of the lower probability solutions with the higher likelihood being that any rainfall moves out of the area before any colder air builds in. We'll watch this evolution over the next few days to see if anything changes, but for now I don't have any winter precip mentioned in the forecast.

High pressure builds back in towards the end of the week with more cold weather anticipated for Friday and Saturday.
