Kidneys require consistent, moderate hydration, not just when thirsty. Sipping sugary or caffeinated drinks doesn't suffice, and overhydration can be harmful. Dr. Ajay Aggarwal highlights that both too little and too much fluid can damage these vital organs. Monitoring urine color is key to finding the right balance for optimal kidney health.

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook

Day 1 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1024 AM CST Mon Feb 16 2026

Valid 161630Z - 171200Z

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS COASTAL
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...

...SUMMARY...
Strong thunderstorms may impact the coastal areas of central and
southern California today.  These storms may produce locally
damaging wind gusts, and perhaps a brief tornado.

...Coastal Central and Southern CA...
Recent satellite imagery continues to show a strong shortwave trough
off the southern CA coast. Robust low-level wind fields precede this
shortwave, with recent mesoanalysis and KVBX VAD profiles showing
southerly winds around 40 to 50 kt at 1 km over Santa Barbara and
San Luis Obispo counties. Despite very meager buoyancy, regional
radar imagery does show some deeper convective elements moving
eastward/northeastward from along the Santa Barbara county coast to
just west of the northern Channel Islands. Strong forcing for ascent
will continue across the region throughout the day, although a
southward shift is anticipated over the next few hours as a strong
mid-level jet streak approaches the coast of far southern CA. This
stronger forcing may result in a southward extension of the ongoing
band, or the development of a separate band farther south. 

Given the intense wind fields in place over the region, any deeper
more sustained convection could result in localized strong gusts and
perhaps even a brief tornado. Current trends suggest this severe
potential will gradually shift southward across southern CA
throughout the day. However, this threat should be limited/very
isolated given the scant buoyancy in place and resulting expectation
that any deeper convection should be brief and too shallow to
produce lightning.

...Coastal southwest OR and northern CA...
An upper trough will dive southward just off the Pacific Northwest
tonight, with the left-exit region of the upper jet pushing into
northern CA early Tuesday morning.  While surface temperatures will
be cool (in the 40s F) in the wake of the earlier wave, this
secondary trough will bring cold temperatures aloft with and 500 mb
temperatures to around -35 C. As such, 100-200 J/kg of SBCAPE will
exist along the immediate coast, and a few instances of low-topped
convection may yield locally strong wind gusts as the cold front
moves through.

Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1007 AM CST Mon Feb 16 2026

Valid 161700Z - 171200Z

...Southern and Central Plains...
Increasing westerly flow aloft and associated strengthening surface
lee troughing across the central/southern High Plains will  support
dry and breezy conditions across portions of eastern CO, eastern NM
and OK/TX Panhandles through this afternoon. Sustained
south/southwest winds approaching 20 mph coinciding with minimum RH
between 15 and 20 percent will promote elevated fire weather
conditions amid a receptive fuelscape. Boundary layer decoupling
could be delayed across the TX/OK Panhandles into southwest KS
supporting a lingering fire weather threat into the late evening
hours, where surface wind reductions will be gradual under an
accelerating low-level jet. In addition, poor RH recoveries of 30%
or less under increasing cloud cover are possible overnight leading
into Day 2/Tuesday. A slight eastward extension of Elevated
highlights was made across the TX Panhandle and far northwestern OK
based on latest model guidance and surface observations.

..Williams.. 02/16/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0111 AM CST Mon Feb 16 2026/

...Synopsis...
An upper ridge will overspread the Mississippi Valley as a
pronounced mid-level trough impinges on the Rockies today. As this
occurs, strong surface lee troughing will encourage widespread 15+
mph sustained southerly winds over the central and southern High
Plains for much of the afternoon. Elevated highlights have been
maintained over areas devoid of recent precipitation (hence dry
fuels), and where RH will dip below 20 percent for several hours.
