DISCUSSION

Issued at 1240 PM CST Sat Feb 21 2026

Well above normal temps continue today ahead of an approaching strong cold front that will bring much colder temps to the area through Tuesday. A couple of strong storms remain possible this afternoon due to the instability available ahead of the front with temps in the low 80s and dewpoints in the mid/upper 60s. However, weak forcing across the area will keep the threat marginal. A isolated strong wind gust and/or small hail cannot be completely ruled out. Much colder temps return in the wake of the front tonight. Highs tomorrow will only be in the low to mid 50s inland to upper 50s along the coast. A gusty northwest wind will make it feel even colder. Highs on Monday will be in the mid and upper 40s inland to low 50s along the coast. Lows tonight will be in the upper 30s and low 40s. Most areas will see a freeze Sunday night with lows in the upper 20s inland to low/mid 30s along the coast. Monday night looks to be the coldest night with lows in the low/mid 20s inland to near 30 along the coast.

Highs quickly warm back into the low 70s on Wednesday ahead of another approaching cold front. This front will bring rain chances back into the area on Thursday as it moves across the area.

A high risk of rip currents continues through Sunday morning. /13
