DISCUSSION

Issued at 1228 AM CST Wed Jan 14 2026

A low pressure system sliding east along the Interstate 20 corridor this morning is producing light rain ahead of it. Rain rates are light, with most obs sites reporting at best around 0.05 inches per hour. As the system continues east, rain will taper off. Then some showers or additional light rain will develop as an approaching cold front pushes southeastward across the area this afternoon and evening.

Guidance continues to show a series of reinforcing cold fronts pushing across the southeast CONUS tonight through the late week which will help maintain dry air. Conditions remain favorable for freezing/subfreezing overnight temperatures through at least early next week.
