DISCUSSION
Issued at 1100 AM CST Wed Feb 4 2026
It will be a quiet weather night tonight across southwest Kansas. The northwest winds will eventually become light southwesterly through the overnight hours. Lows tonight will be near normal with values in the 20s.
The quiet weather pattern will continue for Thursday as well. A dry sfc trof will traverse across western Kansas during the morning hours. The main impact from this will be a subtle wind shift with northwest winds in its wake. Overall wind magnitudes will remain on the lighter side though. Highs tomorrow will be above normal with values in the mid to upper 60s. Even with the warm, afternoon relative humidity looks to remain at moderate levels, so not expecting any major fire weather concerns as a result of the RH's and fairly weak sfc winds. Lows heading into Friday morning will start to trend above normal. Much of the area could actually see above freezing lows during this period. Normal lows for this time of the year are in the 20s.
We will see shortwave ridging for the end of the business week and into the weekend. The net result is warm highs, mild lows, and continued dry forecast. Some of the ensembles show a weak system moving through the next business week. However, confidence is very low if there will be any moisture associated wtih the wave. The Gulf is closed... even if there were precip chances, much of the ensembles show no to very light precipitation possible Tuesday. Nothing to get excited about at this time.

VFR is expected through TAF pd. There will be some mid level clouds today, but that is about it. NW winds will eventually become light SW through the overnight hours. A sfc trof will move across the terminals tomorrow during the morning. The main impact will be a wind shift with NW winds once again as the trof moves through. Overall wind magnitudes will not be strong though.
