Updated at 458 PM CST SAT FEB 7 2026

DISCUSSION

(This evening through Friday) Issued at 1230 PM CST SAT FEB 7 2026

After a "cooler" day today in the wake of a cold front that cleared the area this morning, we will see the main ridge begin to flatten out and elongate over the area. Thus, temperatures will warm through the first of next week. A brief shortwave slides in on Wednesday with some scattered showers but no significant cooler air with it as a ridge will build and flatten once again over the area. Showers return on Friday, with the best chances just outside of this forecast window into next weekend, with even some thunderstorms. Temperatures will remain in the 60s to low 70s for much of the work week. So enjoy this Spring preview, winter will be back but at least not for the next 7 days.
