DISCUSSION

Issued at 131 PM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Surface high pressure has moved east of the region, but a dry northwesterly flow has kept clear skies across the Four State Region today. Despite a weak pre-frontal trough pushing through the area, which has shifted winds to the northwest, much warmer conditions can be expected this afternoon. High temperatures will likely top out in the upper 70s to lower 80s, which could result in record highs for a few locations. Late this evening into the pre-dawn hours Saturday, a cool front will back door into the region. It won't bring a very noticeable change to overnight temperatures over the next couple of nights, but afternoon highs on Saturday will be 15-20 degrees lower than today over most of the region. It doesn't appear any precipitation will accompany this front. In fact, upper ridging is expected to quickly settle into the region behind the front for several days, resulting in dry weather through the first portion of next week. The cooler conditions will only stick around for a brief period, as the cool front will return back northward as a warm front on Sunday. Expect highs on Sunday, and again on Monday, to return back into the low to mid 70s.

The warmer conditions will stick around for most of next week, but the upper pattern will start to shift. Upper ridging will slide east of the region late Monday evening ahead of a closed upper trough shifting eastward out of Baja & Northern Mexico. Flow aloft will become southwesterly, while southeasterly surface winds bring increasing low-level moisture into the region. The closed trough will weaken and open up as it rides the flow into our region on Tuesday, but the dynamics should be good enough for widespread rain to return across the region. There are still some timing issues to resolve over the next several days with this system, but it's possible that some of this precipitation could linger into Wednesday. Dry conditions may return by Thursday, but another cool front could bring additional welcomed rainfall by the end of the work week. /20/
