DISCUSSION

Issued at 1129 AM CST Thu Feb 5 2026

Quiet conditions will continue today, as surface high pressure remains over the region. We should see very little cloud cover and light/variable winds across the area. This should yield slightly warmer temperatures across the region, with afternoon highs ranging from the upper 50s to mid 60s. The surface high will slide east of the region this evening, but quiet conditions and little to no cloud cover will remain through rest of the work week. However, with the high east of the area, WSW winds will return along with a continued warming trend. This will keep overnight lows above freezing tonight, with temperatures generally ranging between the upper 30s to lower 40s. High temperatures on Friday afternoon will top out in the mid to upper 70s, with possibly a few 80 degree readings. This could approach record high territory in a few locations.

A weak cool front will back door into the region late Friday into the pre-dawn hours on Saturday. This will bring us some slightly cooler temperatures for the first half of the weekend, with afternoon highs ranging from the upper 50s to mid 60s. In wake of the front, upper ridging is expected to quickly build into the region and remain through the first portions of next week. Dry weather will persist during this timeframe, including during the passage of the cool front on Saturday. That cooler period behind the front will be short-lived, as models are bringing back southerly winds and warmer conditions by Sunday and through the middle portions of next week. Daily high temperatures will top out in the 70s, with overnight lows eventually climbing back into 50s. The good news is that rain chances will return Tuesday and Wednesday next week, as an upper trough will slide eastward out of Baja and Northern Mexico across Texas and eventually Louisiana. This is much needed precipitation, as moderate to severe drought conditions remain across most of our forecast area. /20/
