KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 1034 PM CST Thu Feb 19 2026 - Cooler temperatures Friday through early next week. Any rain chances are low and any amounts expected to be very light.
- Above normal temperatures and dry weather returns next week.
SHORT TERM
(Through Friday) Issued at 1034 PM CST Thu Feb 19 2026
Gusty winds will continue into the early morning hours before diminishing by sunrise. These winds could impact any ongoing fire suppression efforts. Otherwise, noticeably cooler temperatures on Friday with light winds and mostly sunny skies. The next wave in the fast zonal flow aloft will influence the region Friday night into early Saturday with increasing cloud cover and possibly areas of light rain. Fcst soundings remain very dry in the lowest levels so measurable rainfall will likely be a challenge.
LONG TERM
(Friday Night through Thursday) Issued at 1034 PM CST Thu Feb 19 2026
Reinforcing surge of colder air will spread across the region on Saturday with gusty winds and temperatures below normal. Yet another surge of cooler air arrives Sunday with temps remaining below normal through Monday.
Rapid and substantial warm up returns Tuesday with temps quickly returning to well above normal readings through mid next week. Dry weather is likely to continue with a continued worsening of the ongoing drought conditions. Grassland fire weather risks will return any day that experiences periods of stronger winds.
