KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1022 AM CST Fri Feb 6 2026 - Mainly warm and dry weather from Friday into early next week with limited fire weather danger each afternoon.

- A little more unsettled next week with at least some low rain chances around Tuesday and again late week.

SHORT TERM

(Through tonight ) Issued at 1022 AM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Wind shift associated with push of colder air is currently near or just south of I-44, while the colder air remains well north of the local region. Effects of this cold front will mainly be the wind shift and an increase in speeds through today with temperatures reaching levels at or above those observed yesterday. Gusts in the 20-25 mph range this afternoon along with lowering RH in the 25-35% range will once again support a few hours of limited grassfire spread potential through most of the area. We expect to see cooler air arriving later tonight with temperatures falling into the upper 20s and 30s. However the primary surge of Canadian air should remain to our east.

LONG TERM

(Tomorrow through Friday) Issued at 1022 AM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Temperatures Saturday will be cooler, but will remain above normal with the Canadian sfc high becoming centered more over the eastern U.S. and winds actually returning to southerly by later in the day for most of the area. This will lead to a quick warm-up for Sunday and especially Monday.

Expectation remains for shortwave energy presently off southern CA coast to eventually be picked up in the southern stream and move toward Southern Plains by late Monday and Tuesday. System will be in a weakening state by that time but should force some light rainfall near a weak frontal boundary. At this time most amounts are expected to be very light. As the weak boundary pushes south temperatures will cool off a little by Wed/Thu but still several degrees above average. Consensus remains for a more substantial upper wave by late in the week which could offer better chance of wetting rainfall.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1130 AM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Boundary moving through the CWA will shift winds out of the northwest to north this afternoon with gusts 15-25KT. This evening, winds should weaken and become more variable overnight into Saturday morning before returning out of south to southeast. Mostly clear skies are anticipated with the push of the boundary into this evening. High clouds look to then begin to pass over the region with scattered/broken high clouds Saturday. At this time there is low potential for ongoing MVFR ceilings in Nebraska/Iowa to reach parts of northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas Saturday morning. For now have added a mention of Few MVFR for a period.
