...New UPDATE, AVIATION...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 103 PM CST Mon Feb 16 2026

- Elevated to critical fire weather conditions are forecast from today
  through Friday across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles.

- Very strong wind gusts are expected on Tuesday and a High Wind
  Warning remains in affect due to the potential for wind gusts
  of 60-65 mph.

- Blowing dust may lead to reduced visibility on Tuesday morning
  through the evening.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 530 PM CST Mon Feb 16 2026

High clouds continue to move in across the southern High Plains
this afternoon and that trend will continue throughout the night
as mid level moisture remains in place. With a strong LLJ
developing tonight combined with a tightening surface pressure
gradient, surface winds will remain breezy with occasional gusts
through the entire night. The high cloud cover (which will limit
radiational cooling) along with the stronger winds (which will
lead to good mixing in the lower levels) all night will lead to
lows way warmer than average for mid February. In fact, the record
warm low for Amarillo may be broken on February 17 if temperatures
do not fall down to or below 44 degrees during the morning or
evening.

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 103 PM CST Mon Feb 16 2026

As of late this morning, the forecast looks to be on track with
dry and warm conditions holding under the upper-level ridge.
Temperatures are expected to keep climbing today with most
locations expected to be in the upper 70s to low 80s by the time
the sunsets. However, temperatures around Borger, TX will have to
be watch as potential is present to see them break there record
high temperature today. Unfortunately these warmer and dry
conditions are also prompting elevated fire weather concerns this
afternoon as RH values are expected to bottom out just under 15%.
Winds are expected to be breezy throughout the day with
southwesterly winds running around 15 to 20 mph and gusts anywhere
from 25 to 30 mph.

As for tomorrow, models continue to trend towards a very windy and
dry day as present 500mb heights, continue to see a very dry
trough push into the Panhandles by the afternoon time frame. This
trough is expected to be accompany by a very strong upper-level
jet that has continuously trended with 500mb winds upwards of 80kt
and mid to low levels winds upwards of 50kt. The presence of this
jet as well as incoming front will likely see these upper-level
winds translate into very strong wind gust at the surface. As it
stands, expectations are to see southwesterly to westerly winds
easily reach 35 to 40 mph with gust upwards of 60 mph present as
well. However, given the potential, it is not impossible for a few
isolated areas to experience gusts closer to 70 mph. Regardless, a
High Wind Warning has been put into places for all counties
expected the far southeast from 11 AM tomorrow and lasting until 7
PM that evening. Unfortunately, these strong winds are also going
to come in conjunction with dry conditions across the Panhandles
with most models seeing RH values fall as low as 13 to 20% for the
day. One possible saving grace is the expectations to see some
cloud cover ahead of this front and winds. If this cloud cover can
hold out for a little bit than it may allow for RH values to hold
up slightly better and keep a brief cap on the winds ahead of the
front. However, present CAMs have not been too favorable with that
idea with multiple runs suggesting cloud cover breaking down as
early as noon. A secondary concern with these dry and windy
conditions, is the potential to also see blowing dust as last
weekend's rain system did not amount to much.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through next Sunday)
Issued at 103 PM CST Mon Feb 16 2026

Moving into the mid-week model agreement looks to keep elevated to
critical fire weather present as the upper-level jet looks to hold
under zonal flow. This flow will allow for strong upper-level
winds to keep bleeding down to the surface Wednesday resulting
another round of winds in the 25 to 30 mph range with gusts
greater than 40 mph not out of the question. What may be more
concerning for the day is that, unlike Tuesday, a lack of cloud
cover will likely see RH values much lower with potential to see
some locations dip below 10%. This concern has prompted a Fire
Weather Watch for the Wednesday afternoon with conditions likely
to last into the evening hours. As for Thursday, conditions still
look to be primed to see some form of elevated to near critical
fire weather concerns. However, present model agreement is seeing
these concerns trend more for the dry conditions and fuels rather
than the winds. Regardless these wind will have to be monitored as
model agreement see a trough brush our north that afternoon. This
trough will bring with it a cold frontal passage that will off
very little in precipitation chances, but will see winds shift to
a more northerly direction. Otherwise, concerns begin weaken
behind the front as it brings with it cooler temperatures and
slightly better RH recovery for Friday and the coming weekend.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 530 PM CST Mon Feb 16 2026

VFR conditions are currently forecast with this TAF cycle. Breezy
southwest winds initially will become very strong shortly after
sunrise tomorrow. Southwest winds with gusts upwards of 45-55 kts
are expected at all sites. Blowing dust may lead to reduced
visibility at the terminals during the daytime hours tomorrow,
but confidence in just how widespread any dust will be is
uncertain at this time. Low level wind shear around 45-55 kts at
1-2k ft agl is possible overnight before surface winds increase
after sunrise. High clouds will continue to move in over the
region.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 103 PM CST Mon Feb 16 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.

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. Strong westerly to southwesterly winds tomorrow 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 which 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. Conditions may benefit from
expected cloud cover, but current expectation have it breaking
down by noon.

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 40 to 45 mph.
A few rogue gusts upwards of 50 to 55 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 with RH and
fuels being a bigger contributor to concerns. Winds Wednesday afternoon
will be out of the west or southwest before a weak front Thursday
afternoon turns winds more northerly. 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.
