Regional weather: Sunday, February 6 - TX/OK: Low pressure/cold front forming in the lee of the Rockies over the region.....this will push southeast. Windy near the front as it passes. Little to no precipitation expected today or Monday, but some cloudiness will accompany the frontal passage, and there will be some late-night / early morning clouds or fog in some areas. Otherwise, clear to partly cloudy and warm. Highs in the 50's to 70's today and Monday, lows mostly in the 30's to 50's.
Trajectory weather: Partly to mostly cloudy today, high near 70. Variably cloudy tonight, low in the 30's. Early morning clouds.....followed by mostly sunny skies on Monday. Highs 60's northeast TX to 70's south-central TX.
Trajectory confidence: High
OUTLOOK: *** Low to Mild Threat *** We are nearing the end of the pollen season, so there is little pollen available for release. Mixed conditions today. Humidities remain above the favorable range, but temperatures and winds are favorable. Some light release is possible, with persons living in north-central TX the most likely to feel any ill effects.
