DISCUSSION

Issued at 150 PM CST Sun Feb 22 2026

A much colder and drier airmass continues to move into the region under strong northwest winds. Winds will decrease some this evening and tonight but remain in the 10 to 15 mph range. The wind combined with lows in the upper 20 and low 30s will lead to wind chill values of 15 to 20 degrees inland and 20 to 25 along the coast. A Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for tonight due to the low wind chill values. Highs on Monday will only be in the mid/upper 40s inland to low 50s along the coast. Monday night will be the coldest night with low/mid 20s inland to upper 20s/low 30s along the coast. Temps moderate back into the mid/upper 50s in most areas on Tuesday.

Highs quickly warm back into the lower 70s on Wednesday and the middle 70s on Thursday as southerly winds return to the region. The dry weather conditions will persist through Wednesday evening, followed by increasing rain chances late Wednesday through Thursday night ahead and along another approaching cold front. This weaker front should move across the area Thursday night, with rain ending on Friday. /13
