Last Map Update: Mon, Feb 9, 2026 at 7:48:46 pm CST

Very warm temperatures (by February standards) are expected tonight with lows in the 40s and 50s along with increasing cloud cover. It'll also be a bit breezy with winds up to 20 mph.
Plenty of cloud cover and cooler (but still above normal) temperatures are expected on Tuesday. Chances for rain showers increase during the afternoon hours, but any rainfall will be rather light.
After a mid-week lull, a system looks to bring likely rainfall across the entire area later Friday through Saturday. Significant totals are unlikely at this time due to the fast moving nature of the system.
