DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1159 AM CST TUE JAN 27 2026
AFTER A FRIGID START THIS MORNING, TEMPERATURES ARE RAPIDLY WARMING
ACROSS THE ARKLATEX, ON TRACK FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE UPPER 30S
TO MIDDLE 40S. THIS SIGNIFICANT WARMING TREND SHOULD RESULT IN
ABUNDANT MELTING, BUT BEAR IN MIND THAT TEMPERATURES WILL STILL
PLUNGE BACK BELOW FREEZING OVERNIGHT, WITH THE REGION LOOKING AT
UPPER 20S NORTH AND MIDDLE 20S SOUTH BY DAYBREAK TOMORROW MORNING.
ADDITIONALLY, CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING IN FREEZING FOG DEVELOPMENT
ACROSS THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE ARKLATEX OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THIS
PHENOMENON COULD REINTRODUCE SLICK CONDITIONS ON AREA ROADWAYS, IN
ADDITION TO THE USUAL VISIBILITY IMPAIRMENTS. MORE WIDESPREAD
FREEZING FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE TOMORROW NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING.
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL SEE A CONTINUATION OF TODAY'S WARMING
TREND, WITH MORE MIDDLE TO UPPER 40S AND EVEN 50S RETURNING TO THE
FORECAST BY LATE IN THE WEEK, WHILE MORNING LOWS REMAIN IN THE 20S
AND LOWER 30S.
BY LATE THURSDAY, PREVAILING UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL SHIFT SHARPLY
NORTHWESTERLY, FUNNELING A NOTICEABLY COLDER AIRMASS INTO THE
REGION, WHILE A WEAK SHORTWAVE ATTEMPTS TO KICK UP A BRIEF BIT OF
MOISTURE OVERNIGHT THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. SINCE LAST NIGHT'S MODEL
RUN, PRECIP CHANCES FOR THE ARKLATEX HAVE TRENDED DRAMATICALLY
DOWNWARD, NOW BEING ESSENTIALLY NEGLIGIBLE, WITH ONLY BRIEF CHANCES
FOR SOME VERY SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS PORTIONS OF LASALLE PARISH
OVERNIGHT THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THE REMAINDER OF FRIDAY WILL
BE QUIET AND SEE SKIES CLEAR AS MUCH COLDER AIR MOVES IN, BRINGING
ANOTHER NIGHT OF TEENS AND SINGLE DIGITS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
MORNINGS, WHILE AFTERNOON HIGHS REBOUND FROM NEAR FREEZING SATURDAY
BACK INTO THE 40S AND 50S BY THE END OF THIS EXTENDED FORECAST
PERIOD.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1005 AM CST TUE JAN 27 2026
VFR CONDITIONS CURRENTLY PREVAILING HOWEVER WE DO HAVE SOME
LOW CEILINGS COMING OFF THE LAKES IN E TX/W LA WITH CEILINGS
GENERALLY NEAR OR BELOW 1KFT ACROSS OUR SOUTHWEST AIRSPACE. THESE
CEILINGS DO NOT APPEAR TO IMPACT ANY OF OUR TERMINALS BUT WILL
KEEP WATCH OF THIS THROUGH THE LATE MORNING/AFTERNOON HOURS.
OTHERWISE HIGH AC AND CIRRUS WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD OUR
AIRSPACE FROM WEST TO EAST TODAY INTO TONIGHT. AM GETTING A LITTLE
CONCERNED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF AREAS OF DENSE FREEZING FOG
FORMING OVERNIGHT NEAR AND NORTHWEST OF THE I-30 CORRIDOR AS WELL
AS NEAR THE I-20 CORRIDOR OF NE TX WHICH COULD POSSIBLY IMPACT THE
TXK/TYR/GGG AND ELD TERMINALS. FOR NOW HAVE ADDED IFR VSBYS TO
THESE SITES JUST PRIOR TO AND AFTER SUNRISE WED MORNING. LOOK FOR
SOUTHWEST WINDS TODAY NEAR 10KTS BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE
OVERNIGHT BECOMING NORTHWEST NEAR 5 MPH AFTER SUNRISE ON
WEDNESDAY.
