..NEW UPDATE, AVIATION
KEY MESSAGES
ISSUED AT 1246 AM CST WED JAN 28 2026
- FREEZING FOG HAS DEVELOPED IN A FEW SPOTS AND AN ADVISORY MAY
BECOME NECESSARY AS THE SKIES THIN THE MIDDECK AND CIRRUS.
TOMORROW NIGHT WILL SEE MORE KEEPING OUR ROADWAYS DANGEROUS.
- HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE 40S AND 50S THROUGH THE
REST OF THE WORK WEEK, BUT THE COLD GROUND WILL KEEP US
FREEZING EACH NIGHT WITH A FEW CENLA EXCEPTIONS BY FRIDAY.
- ANOTHER SHARP COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE ON FRIDAY WITH MORE TEENS
AND 20S THIS WEEKEND. HIGHS ON SATURDAY IN THE 30S AND 40S
SUNDAY WITH SUNSHINE, BUT WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A GOOD OLD
RAINY WARMING TREND THAT FOLLOWS FOR TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
UPDATE
ISSUED AT 545 AM CST WED JAN 28 2026
ZONE UPDATE WAS SENT EARLIER FOR THE FREEZING FG ADVISORY THAT WAS
ISSUED FOR NE TX/SE OK/SW AR AND PORTIONS OF NW LA THROUGH 17Z,
AS SFC OBS, VARIOUS TRAFFIC CAMS, AND SATELLITE IMAGERY CONFIRM
THAT AREAS OF FZFG HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THESE AREAS.
WHILE NOT EVERYONE WILL SEE THIS DEVELOP, EXPANDING FZFG OBSERVED
ON THE SATELLITE IMAGERY ACROSS THE EXISTING ICEPACK WILL RESULT
IN ADDITIONAL REFREEZING OF ELEVATED AND ROAD SURFACES FOR MUCH OF
THE MORNING BEFORE TEMPS ARE ABLE TO CLIMB BACK ABOVE FREEZING.

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/

NE TX/SE OK/SW AR/NW LA ATOP THE EXISTING ICEPACK IN PLACE, AND

WILL BEGIN SPREADING E INTO THE REGION AFTER 00Z THURSDAY,
GRADUALLY THICKENING LATE. HOWEVER, THE POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST
PATCHY FZFG WILL AGAIN EXIST LATE TONIGHT ACROSS E TX/SE OK/SW AR

AFFECTED TERMINALS. LT/VRB WINDS TO START THE TAF PERIOD WILL
