KEY MESSAGES

- Well above normal temperatures through the weekend and into next week

- Low to medium chances for rain Monday through Tuesday

SHORT TERM

(Tonight through Saturday night) Issued at 1129 AM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Fairly quiet with above normal temperatures in the short term as the upper level ridge that was located just to the west of our area slides over us by tomorrow. As that happens we should see lows tonight areawide in the 40s. By Saturday, in response we should see temps soar into the upper 70s to even the low 80s in isolated spots as we see plentiful sunshine for most of the day along with southerly low level flow helping to boost temps. We could see mid to high level clouds filter in across the Rio Grande Plains and Southern Edwards Plateau late Saturday afternoon as moisture from upper level flow tries to make its way toward us. By Saturday night we should see strong upper level flow across our area helping to bring an increase in clouds allowing temps to remain mild overnight with many remaining in the upper 40s to low 50s.

LONG TERM

(Sunday through next Friday) Issued at 1129 AM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Sunday we see high temps dip a bit due the increased cloud cover out ahead of the next system thats located over the Baja Peninsula. Eventually this system makes its way east across northern Mexico and into Texas by mid to late Monday. There are still some question marks regarding the speed and timing of this system, the GFS has the system arriving faster thus not allowing for anything but a brief shot of rainfall before departing off to the east. The Euro on the other hand is much slower and develops the system into an open wave thus sitting over our area slightly longer and giving us a better chance of QPF. Decided to remain in between the two scenarios until we see more consistent signals in the medium range guidance. Highs will be slightly cooler mainly in the 70s during this period with lows in the 50s. Looking ahead upper level ridging tries to reestablish itself before another disturbance may impact our area just outside the forecast period.
