A weak cold front is expected to sweep across the region Thursday night into Friday morning, but without much moisture ahead of the front, showers are not expected. This front is not expected to impact temperatures much but will usher in a drier airmass.

VFR conditions are expected throughout this TAF cycle. While ceilings and visibilities will be good, these strong winds are expected to hang around through 04-08z tonight.

A southerly strong breeze(BF 6) with occasional gusts to near gale (BF 7) will continue tonight through Wednesday night. Winds Thursday will relax to moderate to fresh breeze (BF 4-5) and to a gentle (BF 3) breeze Thursday night. Rain chances will be minimal (under 5%) through the end of the work week.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 116 PM CST Tue Feb 24 2026
Elevated to critical fire weather conditions will continue through late this week. Expect mainly elevated conditions today as both wind and RH are not quite to criteria overall, but brief periods above are possible. For Wednesday and Thursday very warm temperatures will result in RH values dropping as low as 15% west and 30-40% east. Southerly winds will also be gusty both of these days to lead to critical fire conditions. Winds will subside Friday into Saturday with low RH levels persisting.
