.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Tuesday night)
Issued at 1054 PM CST Sun Feb 15 2026
**For the forecast fire weather conditions on Monday and Tuesday,
see the Fire Weather section below**
An active week of fire weather concerns begins on Monday for the
Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles.
The ridging pattern will remain in place for Monday which will lead
to very warm temperatures by February standards. Low level H850
temperatures are forecast to warm up to 20-21 Celsius across the
Panhandles during peak heating on Monday afternoon. These warm low
level temperatures will result in highs rising into the upper 70s to
low 80s region wide. In fact, these highs could break the current
record highs for February 16. A leeside surface low pressure system
centered across northeastern NM to southeastern CO will tighten the
pressure gradient across the Panhandles on Monday afternoon. Breezy
southwest winds are forecast with gusts potentially reaching 30-35
mph during the afternoon. The gust potential will decrease on Monday
night, but sustained winds will remain around 15-20 mph or greater
through the whole night. Very warm lows are expected given the well
mixed low levels of the atmosphere.
Tuesday will feature the strongest winds across the Texas and
Oklahoma Panhandles as a very strong H500 jet streak increases in
strength over the southern High Plains. The surface pressure
gradient will tighten even more on Tuesday which will result in
widespread high winds with gusts upwards of 60 to 70 mph. The
highest winds are forecast to be across the central and west, but
still cannot rule out some gusts near 70 further east. One of the
main areas of uncertainty is just how much high level cloud cover
will remain throughout the day on Tuesday. The longer the cloud
cover sticks around, the more heating will be inhibited and thus
lesser potential for the strongest winds to mix down to the surface.
Given the uncertainty, will keep the High Wind Watch going at this
time but will note at least parts of the area will likely need a
High Wind Warning due to the highest gust potential. Due to the
cloud cover, temperatures will be a bit cooler on Tuesday with highs
ranging from the upper 60s to the northwest and up to the lower 80s
across the southeast. Similar to Monday night, winds will remain
breezy out of the west all night. The low level warmer temperatures
are forecast to move off to the east overnight so even though winds
will be breezy, lows should drop down into the 40s to 30s.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through next Sunday)
Issued at 1054 PM CST Sun Feb 15 2026
**For the forecast fire weather conditions on Wednesday through
Friday, see the Fire Weather section below**
Upper level troughing will remain in place across the northwestern
CONUS during the middle of this upcoming week with an H300 100-150
kt jet streak seemingly remaining in place across the region. This
pattern favors continued fire weather conditions along with breezy
to gusty winds. On Wednesday a secondary, albeit slightly weaker,
H500 jet max will move across portions of the Texas and Oklahoma
Panhandles. Forecast soundings do suggest that the wind gust
potential associated with this system may lead to high wind gusts
upwards of 50-60 mph on Wednesday, so that will be something to
monitor in the coming days. Winds on Thursday and Friday do not
appear to be as strong as the two days prior, but still will remain
breezy. Temperatures during this time period are actually forecast
to slowly decrease as troughing becomes more prevalent over the
central to northern Plains.
There is model uncertainty with what may occur on Friday night into
Saturday as the base of the H500 trough digs south and moves east
across the Rockies towards the southern High Plains. Some model
guidance is suggesting that there could be enough moisture in place
to develop precipitation during this time frame. A cold front could
also be associated with this trough as it moves across. Timing,
strength, and location of all of these features varies in the
guidance so confidence in any scenario at this point is rather low.
It does appear that temperatures will decrease going into next
weekend with the cooler air mass potentially being in place though.

(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1130 AM CST Mon Feb 16 2026
As of late this morning, latest satellite was seeing some light
cloud cover present over KDHT and KGUY with little to no impact
currently present over the terminals. For this afternoon look for
winds to eventually pick up at the surface with potential to see
southwesterly gusts upwards of 30kt. Otherwise, VFR conditions
will look to hold for the package with more high to mid-level
cloud cover expected to build in by tomorrow morning.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1054 PM CST Sun Feb 15 2026
Elevated to near critical fire weather conditions are forecast on
Monday followed by multiple straight days of critical fire weather
conditions for the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles.
Monday...Breezy to gusty southwest winds are forecast across the
Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. Sustained winds are forecast to be
upwards of 20-25 mph with gusts reaching 35 mph during the
afternoon. The west winds will bring drier air to the area with
relative humidity (RH) values dropping down into the lower teens to
potentially the single digits across the central and west. Cannot
rule out some areas may reach critical fire weather thresholds,
but will only mention elevated with this forecast.
Tuesday...Very poor RH recovery is forecast to start the day with RH
values only increasing into the lower 30s across the central and
west. The west to southwest winds on Tuesday are currently
forecast to be the highest for this upcoming week as the jet
stream moves over the Panhandles. Widespread high winds are
expected with gusts upwards of 55-65 mph (cannot rule out a few
gusts close to 70 mph across the northwest) during the late
morning into the afternoon. Another day of dry conditions with low
RHs is expected and this will lead to widespread critical fire
weather conditions as a result. Red Flag Threat Index (RFTI)
values could be as high as 7 to 8 (out of 10) during the
afternoon. Hot temperatures in the 70s to low 80s are also
forecast across the region, with the hottest temperatures across
the southeastern Texas Panhandle.
Wednesday through Friday...Elevated to critical fire weather
conditions will continue through the rest of the work week for the
Panhandles. Winds on Wednesday are not expected to be as high as
Tuesday, but they still could have gusts upwards of 45-50 mph. A few
rogue gusts upwards of 60 mph cannot be ruled out across the
northwestern Panhandles. Winds will remain breezy to gusty on
Thursday and Friday, but the higher end gust potential is not
currently anticipated on either of these days. Winds each afternoon
will be out of the west or southwest. Continued dry surface
conditions are almost certain with RH values each afternoon down
into at least the teens if not some single digit values
(particularly on Wednesday). Critical fire weather conditions will
likely arise for at least parts of the region on each of these days.
