DISCUSSION

Issued at 1200 AM CST Wed Feb 4 2026

The cold front that has slowly moved through the region today has almost cleared us to the southeast. As a result, most of the precipitation has come to an end, with only a few lingering light showers across our far southeast zones. The cold front will continue to push to the southeast and out of our region tonight, and temperatures will begin to respond to the CAA and northerly flow behind the front. Temperatures as we wake up Wednesday morning will range from near 32 degrees across some of our northern zones to around 40 degrees across areas of deep east Texas. Temperatures will have a hard time recovering today, with highs expected to be in the 50s across the region. Thursday morning will easily be our coolest day of the week, with temperatures starting off in the mid to upper 20s across our northern zones and the upper 20s to lower 30s across the rest of the region. While temperatures will be on the increase for Thursday, they will remain slightly below seasonable normals.

By Thursday night into Friday morning, ridging aloft will begin to build across western Texas and a surface high will begin to move into our region. This will bring a drastic change in temperatures for Friday with highs returning well into the lower to mid 70s. Similar conditions will follow for Saturday, Sunday and well into next week. Not sure why our area likes to go from one extreme to the next so quickly but here we are. Precipitation chances will be minimal through at least Monday with some models picking up more widespread rain by the middle of next week. Otherwise, should be a pretty tranquil forecast. /33/

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1132 AM CST Wed Feb 4 2026

Few high level clouds prevail across the region at the beginning of this period. A low VFR cloud deck should develop for northeastern sites late this afternoon and this evening. Ceilings should begin to lower but become lighter early Thursday morning. There is some uncertainty on cloud cover for the end of this TAF period that should straighten out in future packages. Winds this period may gust up to 20 kts in some areas this afternoon and calm down to around 5 kts overnight tonight, generally staying northerly until shifting northwesterly by Thursday morning. /57/
