.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1003 AM CST Sun Feb 1 2026

A slow but gradual warmup this morning after a very cold night
across the Four State Region. Late morning temperatures mostly
above freezing but just barely under mostly sunny skies. It`s that
solar radiation and returning southerly winds that will aid the
temperature return this afternoon. While we will remain mostly
clear overnight, light south winds should offset temps somewhat,
especially across our western half but did shave NBM temps a few
degrees across our northeast and eastern zones where ample
radiational cooling conditions will be present.

Southwest winds will return in earnest on Monday and those winds
along with a very dry atmosphere in place should result in large
diurnal temperature trends with highs Monday Afternoon in the 60s
across most locations. Low level moisture will begin returning to
our region overnight on Monday as an upper level trough exits the
Texas Hill Country and moves towards our region as we wake up
Tuesday Morning. Would not be surprised to see some elevated
showers returning as early as the predawn hours across our western
half Monday Night but a bulk of the upper level ascent associated
with the upper trough will be present across our region during the
day Tuesday into Tuesday Evening and thus pops increase
dramatically during this timeframe as well. Not seeing much in the
way of any surface based instability in the Tue/Tue Night
timeframe but returning mid-level lapse rates are supporting
thunderstorm chances late morning Tue thru Tue Night with the
approaching trough. No severe weather is expected. Precipitation
should end from northwest to southeast Tue Night with a dry
Wednesday as a longwave trough pivots through our region in the
wake of the Tue disturbance. While the longwave trough passage
will be dry on Wednesday, cooler air will accompany the trough and
that will serve to trim temps back into the 50s for highs on Wed
and Thu across most places.

Northwest flow should prevail in the wake of our longwave trough
passage for Friday and through the upcoming weekend. We may see
another weak trough passage late next weekend but attm, that
trough passage looks dry.

brief drop to MVFR CIGs at KLFK. A more widespread high cloud deck

South-southwest winds will continue throughout, at maximum
