DISCUSSION

Issued at 1237 PM CST Wed Feb 4 2026

Northwest winds in wake of last night's cold front continue to push in a cooler and drier air mass into the region. Afternoon highs today will range from the mid 50s to around 60 degrees under sunny skies. Expect little cloud cover and light winds tonight as surface high pressure builds into the region. This should allow for decent radiational cooling overnight, allowing for most of the forecast area to fall to near or just below freezing by tomorrow morning, as temperatures bottom out between the upper 20s and lower 30s. Surface high pressure will remain over the region through the remainder of the work week, with a gradual warming trend, as afternoon highs will eventually climb into the low to mid 70s by Friday.

A weak cool front will move across the region on Saturday, bringing us some slightly cooler temperatures, but dry conditions will remain. Upper ridging will quickly build into the region in wake of the front, keeping dry weather in place through the first portions of next week. Models also suggest warmer conditions will return during this period, and possibly into the middle of next week, with daily afternoon highs climbing back into the low to mid 70s. Beyond Monday, long-term progs suggest our upper pattern will become southwesterly, as a closed upper trough will slide eastward out of Baja and Northern Mexico into Southwestern Texas. This would result in rain chances returning across a large portion of the region Tuesday/Wednesday of next week. This precipitation would be welcomed, as moderate to sever drought conditions remain across most of our forecast area.
