.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1105 AM CST Sun Feb 22 2026

A building ridge in the western CONUS with a digging trough over the
northeast has the Ark-La-Tx firmly in northwest flow. The recent
frontal passage and the cold advection from the upper-level flow are
working to keep temperatures much closer to seasonal through Monday.
With the cooler air, overnight temperatures will be hovering near
freezing for much of the region. Most sites will be in the low to
mid 30s, with far northern zones possibly dropping into the mid 20s
tonight and Tuesday night.

Dry conditions will continue through the first part of the work week
with extremely low RH values in the teens. Surface winds are
expected to be calmer on Monday compared to today, which will lower
the risk of fire spread somewhat. It should be noted that any wind
is enough for fire spread and the extremely dry conditions can catch
fire very quickly. Winds are expected to pick up again on Tuesday
which will likely increase the fire danger. 10 mph sustained winds
can be expected across the entire region on Tuesday with higher
intensities focused in the western half of the CWA, where sustained
winds in excess of 20 mph will be possible. The issuance of any fire
weather products for Tuesday will likely come during the day shift
tomorrow.

Weakening upper-level ridging and a southerly surface flow shift on
Wednesday will begin a warming trend that will be accompanied by
some Gulf moisture. Temperatures will climb into the mid 70s to low
80s by Wednesday afternoon, with RH values mostly in the 40-50%
range. Drought conditions will still be in place until the region
gets a wetting rain. The soonest rain chances would be on Thursday
with a system moving through the southern Midwest on Thursday that
would bring some sprinkles to our eastern zones. The rain won`t so
much more than cooling the region down into the 70s for the second
half of the work week, but the NBM is trying to catch some
additional rain chances early Sunday morning.
