DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1246 AM CST WED JAN 28 2026
FREEZING FOG IS BECOMING A LITTLE MORE WIDESPREAD, BUT OFFICIALLY
ONLY REPORTED AT IDABEL, DEQUEEN AND MOUNT PLEASANT RECENTLY. AN
ADVISORY MAY BE SET IN PLACE DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THESE
CLOUDS THIN OVERHEAD, IN THE WAKE OF SHORT WAVE ALOFT. WE EVEN
HAD A COUPLE OF REPORT OF SNOW FLURRIES IN E TX THIS LATE
EVENING, AND THE SHV ASOS BRIEFLY HAD -SN, WITH JUST ENOUGH
EVAPORATION MONDAY BOOSTING THE HUMIDITY, ALLOWING THE TINY
FLAKES NOT TO SUBLIMATE AND MAKE IT DOWN TO THE GROUND. THE
FREEZING FOG IS OBVIOUSLY THE BIGGER IMPACT ADDITION TOWARD
DAYBREAK WITH MORE FREEZING FOG IN STORE WEDNESDAY OVERNIGHT.
OTHERWISE, THE MELTING SLEET AND ICE WILL KEEP LOWS FREEZING THIS
WEEK WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, BUT OUR HIGHS WILL DO WELL IN THE
SUNSHINE AND HELP IMPROVE OUR OVERALL CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, THAT
ENDS THURSDAY AS OUR NEXT SHARP COLD FRONT ARRIVES EARLY FRIDAY
WITH A CORE 1044MB ARCTIC AIR MASS SETTLING DOWN THE RIVER VALLEYS.
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL REMAIN DRY AS WILL THE WEEKEND WITH
SUNSHINE MAKING IT LOOK GREAT OUTSIDE, BUT THE NW-NE WINDS WILL
TAKE US BACK DOWN THE ROLLER COASTER TO BOTTOM OUT SATURDAY WITH
ONLY 30S AREAWIDE, AND WIND CHILLS IN THE 20S FOR MANY.
SO OUR SHORT MARDI GRAS SEASON IS QUITE POSSIBLE AND THEN SOME
FOR THOSE LOOKING LOOKING TO ENJOY THE LARGE CROWDS DESPITE THE
CHILL. AND WE CAN LOOK FOR MORE RECORD LOWS AND MAYBE SOME HIGHS
TOO ON SATURDAY. WE'LL SEE 40S FOR HIGHS ON SUNDAY AND THEN SUPER
NICE 50S NEXT WEEK. LOWS WILL FINALLY GET ABOVE FREEZING BY
TUESDAY. HOWEVER, THE CLOUDS WILL SOON RETURN, AND THIS TIME
BEARING MORE NEEDED RAINFALL BY TUESDAY AND THROUGH MUCH OF
NEXT WEEK. WPC HAS POSTED NEAR ONE INCH FOR OUR TUESDAY. /24/

ISSUED AT 1141 PM CST TUE JAN 27 2026
FOR THE 28/06Z TAF PERIOD, VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL THIS EVENING
WITH SOME DENSE HIGH-LEVEL CLOUD COVER CONSISTING OF BOTH CIRRUS
AND HIGH ALTOCU. AS CLOUD COVER BEGINS TO THIN OUT AND DECREASE
IN COVERAGE ACROSS OUR AIRSPACE THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING,
WILL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR DENSE FREEZING FOG
DEVELOPMENT AS WE GET CLOSER TO DAYBREAK. FOR THIS REASON, HAVE
EXPANDED THE BR TO INCLUDE ALL TERMINALS WITH MVFR/IFR VSBYS JUST
PRIOR TO AND SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. AMENDMENTS MAY BE NECESSARY IF
LIFR VSBYS DEVELOP. OTHERWISE, LOOK FOR LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS
OVERNIGHT, BECOMING W/NW NEAR 5 MPH BY AROUND 15Z ON WEDNESDAY.
