.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1227 PM CST Sun Feb 22 2026

Cold air and high pressure will remain through Monday morning.


Southerly return flow develops Monday evening. Monday will be
very dry, with relative humidity in the upper teens to low 20s,
but wind speeds will be low enough that critical fire conditions
aren`t anticipated. By Tuesday, strong warm air advection takes
hold and temperatures rapidly rise into the 60s. A fast-moving
clipper system moves through the Plains Wednesday into Thursday,
bringing a strong cold front through the area. Some light rain
is possible, but with limited moisture available and the fast-
moving nature of the system, only minor amounts appear possible
at this time (30%-60% of a few hundredths of rain). Mild
temperatures and dry conditions are favored through the rest of
the week.
