.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 128 PM CST Sun Feb 22 2026

Skies remain mostly clear and winds will go light/variable
tonight, allowing temperatures to dip into the single digits for
most. Northern areas with remaining snowpack could even see
subzero air temperatures by Monday morning.

Southerly winds return on Monday as surface high pressure
pushes off to the east. This should allow most of the area to
rise above freezing, and the southwestern fringes of the area
(Cambridge, Phillipsburg, Stockton/Plainville) could even make a
run at 50 degrees!

Tuesday is still expected to be a significant warmup,
especially compared to this past weekend. But the forecast has
actually trended a bit cooler thanks to increased cloud cover
and the passage of a weak cold front.

Clearing skies and a more westerly wind component should push
temperatures to the 60s for most of the area on Wednesday.
Global ensembles are now in better agreement of precipitation
timing, and now highlight light Wednesday afternoon through
Wednesday evening as the most likely timeframe to see a few rain
showers. A handful of ensemble members are cold enough to see a
few snowflakes, but any accumulation is unlikely (10% chance or
less).

As the system responsible for rain showers Wednesday night
departs, Thursday will be slightly "cooler," but highs are still
expected to reach the 50s...a solid 10-15 degrees above normal.
Friday then bounces back into the 60s and 70s ahead of another
shortwave arriving for the weekend. The warmth this week will
result in a heightened fire weather threat most through most of
the week. At this time, but at this time the highest potential
to see at least near- critical conditions is on Wednesday and
Friday (30 to 50% chance).

The system next weekend will likely result in at least a couple
below-normal days as we begin the month of March. Accumulating
snow is also possible (20-40% chance) next Sunday into Monday
(March 1-2nd).

Issued at 526 PM CST Sun Feb 22 2026

For KGRI/KEAR Airports:

High confidence VFR conditions through the period.

Expect northerly breezes to become light and variable later this
evening as an area of surface high pressure slides southeast
across the region overnight. Southerly return flow on the
backside of this area of high pressure will increase across the
area on Monday, with gusts to near 20 KTS possible during the
afternoon hours. Skies should also be mostly clear through the
period with only a few passing high clouds from time to time.
