DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1120 AM CST FRI JAN 9 2026
A DYNAMIC WEATHER PATTERN IS STILL EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON AS A STRONG MID-LEVEL TROUGH EJECTS EASTWARD ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TRAVERSES THROUGH THE
REGION. SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW CONTINUES TO TRANSPORT GULF
MOISTURE INTO OUR REGION WITH DEWPOINTS WELL INTO THE 60S AND
LOWER 70S ALREADY. THIS SET-UP, COUPLED WITH DECENT MLCAPE AND
SOME DEEP-LAYER WIND SHEAR, WILL SUPPORT ORGANIZED CONVECTION,
SOME OF WHICH WE ARE STARTING TO SEE ACROSS DEEP EAST TEXAS AND
CENTRAL LOUISIANA. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND INTO THE
EVENING.
SPC CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN A SLIGHT RISK ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE
FROM JACKSONVILLE TX, TO SHREVEPORT, LA TO JUST SOUTH OF EL
DORADO, AR. PRIMARY HAZARDS IN THIS AREA WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS
AND LARGE HAIL, ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE
RULED OUT, PARTICULARLY WHERE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR IS LOCALLY ENHANCED
NEAR THE ADVANCING FRONT. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF AROUND A
HALF AN INCH TO AN INCH AND HALF WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR AREAS THAT
SEE SOME TRAINING STORMS.
IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM, MORE SEASONABLE AND
DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN TO FILTER INTO THE REGION. HIGHS WILL
STRUGGLE TO REACH THE UPPER-50S ON SATURDAY WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS
DROPPING INTO THE 30S AND NEAR-FREEZING TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE BY
SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY NEXT WEEK AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS
TO BUILD IN. NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE WILL MAINTAIN
A COOLER, STABLE PATTERN. /33/
