KEY MESSAGES

- Quiet weather & warm conditions prevail through the middle of next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 125 PM CDT Thu Mar 19 2026

Thursday-next Wednesday:

No impactful weather is expected for the forecast period. Surface ridging will continue to provide spring-like conditions to the ArkLaMiss region. Temperatures are expected to run 20 degrees above seasonal averages for the weekend and next week. Rain is not expected over the next seven days.

Pleasant conditions will continue over the next several days as a surface high off Atlantic coastline spreads ridging across the SE CONUS. Patchy, dense fog may be possible near HWY 84 and south early Friday morning, but the probabilities are low (25-30%) at this time.

Heading into the weekend, temps will undergo a warming trend into the weekend as southerly winds advect warm air into the region. As the warming trend continues, high will range from the low to mid 80s and lows will range in the upper 50s to low 60s. All will remain quiet to make for an enjoyable weekend.

A dry, frontal boundary will swing through the area, briefly dropping highs to the mid 70s to low 80s and keeping lows ranging in the 50s and 60s on Monday. Temps will quickly rebound after the front passes, continuing areawide calm conditions and warm temps for the foreseeable future. /SW/

VFR conditions are expected to prevail at the TAF sites through the period. Some BR development near HEZ cannot be ruled out around 12Z Friday, but confidence in MVFR or lower conditions was too low to mention in TAFs at this time. /NF/
