KEY MESSAGES

- Above average temperatures today through next week

- Low to medium chances for rain Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon through Saturday

SHORT TERM

(Today through Tuesday) Issued at 1219 AM CST Mon Feb 9 2026

Moist southerly lower level flow gradually becomes more established allowing for low clouds with patchy to areas of fog, some locally dense east of the I-35 corridor this morning and across most areas tonight into Tuesday morning. Will monitor observational trends for possible Dense Fog Advisories. Lower level thermal ridge maintains above average temperatures. High temperatures Tuesday will be about 5 degrees cooler due to clouds lingering into the afternoon. Our advertised upper level low currently off the Baja California Sur coast will get a nudge from an upper level trough approaching the California/Oregon coast. By Tuesday afternoon, it will have opened into a trough over the Mexican state of Chihuahua and should generate some showers over portions of the Rio Grande and Edwards Plateau.

LONG TERM

(Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 1219 AM CST Mon Feb 9 2026

There remain timing differences with passage of the trough over our area. ECMWF/CMC show a late Tuesday night passage while GFS/NAM and the Hi-Res coming into that time frame show a Wednesday passage. In addition, a brief weak cold frontal passage is shown on Wednesday. Have maintained the chances for Tuesday night and introduced slight chances for Wednesday morning, though these could be extended into Wednesday afternoon. An upper level ridge transits our area Thursday for dry conditions. The current California/Oregon upper level trough and a cold front move across our area late Friday into Saturday to bring chances of rain. However, there also are timing differences with this system. Lack of significant cold advection behind frontal passages keeps temperatures above average through next weekend.
