KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1224 AM CDT Mon Mar 16 2026

- Elevated wind speeds will continue overnight and through the day on Monday with some gusts of 30 mph likely.

- Some near to below freezing temperatures are likely overnight (north of I-20) and areawide on Monday night.

- A gradual warmup will continue through most of the rest of the work week with dry conditions.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1224 AM CDT Mon Mar 16 2026

Strong post-frontal gradient winds will continue across the Four State Region through the next 12-24 hours before waning. This will facilitate efficient cold air advection overnight and through the day, prompting another areawide Freeze Warning on Monday night into Tuesday morning. Starting on Tuesday and continuing through the rest of the week, is a very gradual warmup with no significant chance of rain through next weekend. This is due to persistent ridging with a ridge axis that shifts along and east of the Mississippi River Valley by Wednesday, positioning southerly flow and subsequent warm air advection across the Four State Region (mid-to upper 80s, even some 90s are not out of the question by next Friday). Long-range guidance suggests somewhat increased uncertainty in synoptics beyond next weekend as ridging breaks down and potential for the next frontal passage increases beyond the seven-day forecast window. Higher uncertainty remains for any precipitation in and beyond this forecast window. /16/
