KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1030 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2026

- Warming up through Friday, but still near or just below seasonal standards.

- Much cooler Saturday ahead of highs in the 50s and 60s next week.

SHORT TERM

(Tonight through Saturday) Issued at 1030 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2026

Winds will remain light during the overnight hours and although there will be some higher cloud cover, low temperatures will again fall well below freezing Friday morning into the low-to-mid 20s. As such, any liquid on untreated roadways will refreeze and travel caution for the morning commute is needed. A pleasant day is expected to round out the work week. Winds will remain light and abundant sunshine will bring persistent high temperatures into the mid 50s. A deep trough will descend into the Southeast US Friday evening into Saturday. Winds will switch to the east behind an associated cold front by Saturday morning. Combined with a relatively strong surface high pressure, much colder air will be ushered in and highs will generally into the upper 30s.

LONG TERM

(Saturday night through next Thursday) Issued at 1030 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2026

This cold snap will only last for a single day as an upper ridge builds to the west on Sunday which will help drive the cold air out. Highs Monday will return into the mid 60s across much of the area. A trough will approach Tuesday evening, however at this time much of the associated precipitation looks to be off to the east and NBM is finally picking up on this, eliminating previously mentioned PoPs. Temperatures will fall slightly, but highs should remain in the mid-to-upper 50s though the latter part of next week.
