DISCUSSION

Issued at 1230 AM CST Sun Feb 8 2026

Beautiful day today across the entire Four State Region with mostly sunny skies and light southeast winds. Highs today ranged mostly in the 60s to lower 70s. Expect Sunday to be a carbon copy of today with highs ranging mostly in the 70s areawide with more in the way of a southerly component to our wind...allowing for the better warmup.

Our region is currently under weak upper level ridging aloft but that ridge will flatten as we move into Sunday Night and into Monday as a weak disturbance moves our way from the Central and Southern Plains in northwest flow aloft. This trough is moisture starved so not expecting any precipitation with it and the cold front that looked like it might try to move south and east towards the I-30 Corridor in association with the trough Sunday Night might not make it that far south before returning back to the north on Monday. Weak upper ridging replaces the Sunday Night trough for Monday into Tuesday but upstream upper flow begins to turn around to the southwest and that flow should help to bring some moisture northward from the gulf finally in advance of our next upper level trough poised to begin impacting our region Thu Night but especially Friday into the first half of next weekend.

Medium range progs continue to disagree on timing and degree of amplitude of this next longwave trough passage late next week and into the weekend so NBM chance pops this far out in the forecast are warranted until progs can come into better agreement. Not seeing anything to really get excited about concerning strong to severe thunderstorms with this late week trough for now but if the trough were to slow down and allow for a little more amplitude as the latest EC suggests, then we couldn't totally rule out some strong storms in the Friday/Saturday timeframe but lots of time to rule that in or out with subsequent model runs.
