KEY MESSAGES
- Well above average temperatures continue through next weekend.
- Patchy early morning fog possible next few days.
- Low to medium chances for rain and isolated storms mid week into next weekend.
SHORT TERM
(Today through Monday) Issued at 1211 AM CST Sun Mar 1 2026
A moist southerly lower level flow maintains a pattern of night into morning low clouds with patchy fog. Mixing allows for ample sunshine in the afternoons. A strengthened surface pressure gradient results in breezy winds with gusts up to 30 mph. The lower level thermal ridge and mixing with a warm mid level airmass keeps temperatures around 10 degrees above average for early March. Upslope flow onto the Escarpment may produce patchy mist early each morning there.
LONG TERM
(Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 1211 AM CST Sun Mar 1 2026
A mid/upper level trough passes over the Central Plains while a cold front stays north of our area mid week. There remains uncertainty on rain chances with these features remaining to our north. However, weak to moderate forcing of and instability in an unseasonably moist airmass should be sufficient for isolated to scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms mid to late week. A lower level thermal ridge keeps temperatures well above average for early March.
Rain chances continue next weekend due to a possible cold front and approach of a deep mid/upper level trough. However, there remains a higher level of uncertainty on these features.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1211 AM CST Sun Mar 1 2026
