DISCUSSION
Issued at 1242 AM CST Mon Feb 16 2026
To begin the period, a ridge of high pressure has moved over the area and will control the weather pattern through at least the middle part of this week. This will usher in calm and dry conditions with rain chances staying on the low end. The next chance for rain will be Friday.
Given recent heavy rainfall and calm winds, widespread dense fog will be possible across portions of the state through Monday morning. Make sure to give yourself extra time to get to where you are going this morning.
Temperatures will remain average to slightly above average through the period. High temperatures are likely to top out in the mid 60s to upper 70s through the middle of this week. Overnight low temperatures are expected to drop into the upper 40s to upper 50s.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS) Issued at 548 PM CST Mon Feb 16 2026
For the 00Z TAFs...
VFR conditions are expected through late tonight before the combination of light winds and more significant cloud cover result in another round of potential radiational fog development, primarily after midnight tonight, holding in through tomorrow sunrise. This fog is expected to mix out quickly after sunrise, do didn't carry it very long in the TAF. An increase in cloud cover should radiate some heat back to the ground around sunrise, promoting mixing a bit earlier than the typical nocturnal surface radiation budget would allow for.
