KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1159 PM CST Sun Feb 1 2026

- Warmer temperatures start this first week of February as we continue to thaw out from last week's Winter Storm.

Then reboot warmer temperatures for Friday and upcoming busy weekend.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1159 PM CST Sun Feb 1 2026

Clear skies for Claude the Crawfish to see his shadow for us with 6 more weeks of winter technically either way, but our actual weeks will run above average through mid month, in looking at the CPC 8 to 14 day outlook. Average is 60 degrees this time of year, and we will remain above that for a couple of days, then back to just below for a couple of days. However warmer temperatures will be returning for Valentine's Day and our Mardi Gras festivities over the weekend.

So when will the clouds return? No shadow perhaps before sundown today as our low begins to approach sliding down the Red River Valley. We'll see showers pre dawn on Tuesday that will increase in coverage and to some degree intensity, but keeping below severe limits with consideration of the SPC day 2 Outlook and ending overnight. The WPC is looking for a tenth to quarter inch or so along I-30 and then building higher totals down I-49 to near an inch in a few locales. Our winds will be SW today and S on Tuesday, but shifting to NW late on Tuesday, ending the rain and spreading back down slightly below average temps for highs and lows during midweek. Then another weak dry frontal passage precedes the busy weekend. /24/

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 601 AM CST Mon Feb 2 2026

VFR and clear skies this morning across the airspace. Expect for SKC to be the dominate sky condition through the first half of the period ahead of increasing BKN/OVC CIGs through the evening/overnight. Sustained 5-10kt terminal winds will be breezy at times through the period, gusting as high as 15kt. Hi-res suggests that SHRA initiation will be sometime around or shortly after 03/12z. Therefore, any mention of SHRA/VCSH has been deferred to the next TAF package.
