KEY MESSAGES

- Very little if any rainfall is expected for the upcoming week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1247 PM CST Sun Nov 15 2026

Mainly high clouds are spreading across much of the area today as an upper shortwave tracks from the Red River Valley toward the northern Gulf. Radar indicates light to moderate echoes aloft, but there is a pronounced dry layer in the low levels with surface dewpoint depressions upwards of 20-25F which will inhibit most of this precip from reaching the surface. Through tonight, very light rainfall is possible across northeast LA and south MS. Elsewhere, it will be scattered sprinkles at best, and most areas will receive no rain at all. A surface ridge will build back into the region on Monday as this system shifts south of our area.

Surface ridging will remain anchored over the eastern CONUS through the upcoming week, with seasonably cool mornings and seasonably warm days with broad diurnal temp ranges owing to the dry airmass. Temps will steadily moderate by the end of the week. No rainfall is expected through the work week. A late week system will track from the Plains toward the Midwest, teasing potential for rain in our area this weekend or early next week, but it remains unclear whether the associated front will even make it into our area. Even with that system, the probability for substantial rainfall remains low at this time. /DL/|
