Issued at 1159 PM CST Sun Feb 1 2026 - Warmer temperatures start this first week of February as we continue to thaw out from last week's Winter Storm. - Our next cold front and upper level low will begin spreading showers across our NE TX zones in the predawn hours on Tuesday with increasing coverage and intensity, ending overnight. - Below average 50s for highs and 30s for lows return in the wake of the front for Wednesday and Thursday. Then reboot warmer temperatures for Friday and upcoming busy weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1159 PM CST Sun Feb 1 2026 Clear skies for Claude the Crawfish to see his shadow for us with 6 more weeks of winter technically either way, but our actual weeks will run above average through mid month, in looking at the CPC 8 to 14 day outlook. Average is 60 degrees this time of year, and we will remain above that for a couple of days, then back to just below for a couple of days. However warmer temperatures will be returning for Valentine's Day and our Mardi Gras festivities over the weekend. So when will the clouds return? No shadow perhaps before sundown today as our low begins to approach sliding down the Red River Valley. We'll see showers pre dawn on Tuesday that will increase in coverage and to some degree intensity, but keeping below severe limits with consideration of the SPC day 2 Outlook and ending overnight. The WPC is looking for a tenth to quarter inch or so along I-30 and then building higher totals down I-49 to near an inch in a few locales. Our winds will be SW today and S on Tuesday, but shifting to NW late on Tuesday, ending the rain and spreading back down slightly below average temps for highs and lows during midweek. Then another weak dry frontal passage precedes the busy weekend. /24/ && .AVIATION...
