KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1003 AM CST SUN FEB 8 2026

- Dry conditions will persist through early on Tuesday, followed by low to medium (30-60%) chances for showers Tuesday night into Wednesday and again on Friday into the weekend.

DISCUSSION

(This afternoon through Saturday) Issued at 1003 AM CST SUN FEB 8 2026

Plenty of sunshine with dry conditions expected today, allowing for the daytime highs to reach into the upper 50s to low 60s. The upper level ridge begins to break down today as a trough slides through the upper plains into the Mid-MS Valley by tomorrow morning. This will lead to increasing clouds, but not much else. Broad ridging builds back in Monday into Tuesday. Daytime highs will trend upwards into the 70s for both days. A weak frontal boundary is expected to push southward into the region Tuesday evening into Wednesday, supporting at least 30-60% chance of rain. The boundary stalls across the region Thursday and later becomes and effective warm front Friday into Saturday as our next trough approaches the region. There's still quite a bit of uncertainty in the timing and depth of the trough. For now, look for increasing rain chances towards next weekend.
