KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1053 PM CST Mon Jan 12 2026

- Stable conditions expected with a series of mainly dry frontal boundaries ushering in a relatively cold pattern through early next week.

- The cold front Tuesday night into Wednesday will bring some slight rain chances, mainly across north Louisiana.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1046 PM CST Mon Jan 12 2026

Clouds to increase in coverage on Tuesday as upper-flow becomes southwest ahead of an approaching low from northern Mexico. Upper low to open into an elongated trough across southeast Texas into north Louisiana on Tuesday night and possibly generate a few showers across north Louisiana ahead of a surface cold front. Temperatures on Tuesday to climb into the low to mid 60s as weak southerly flow returns to the region ahead of the surface boundary. Overnight lows on Tuesday night to average in the low to mid 40s.

Upper-flow to become northerly behind the frontal boundary on Wednesday allowing for stable conditions and improving skies. High pressure behind the cold front to bring a reinforcement of cold air with lows on Wednesday night in the mid 20s north of I-30 to near freezing temperatures elsewhere.

A progressive pattern expected through late week into the weekend as another dry front moves across the region on Friday night followed by a reinforcement of cold air for the weekend. Could see overnight lows in the 20s across the entire region by Monday morning with portions of southeast Oklahoma on the cooler end of the temperature spectrum with forecast lows near 20 degrees.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1132 AM CST Tue Jan 13 2026

VFR conditions should continue to prevail across the region with a mid level cu field. Some scattered showers are expected to move in from the south over the next several hours, possibly making it far enough north where western I-20 sites have VCSH included late this afternoon. These showers will migrate east as cloud decks lower to low VFR heights. A cold frontal passage from the north will then bring a northerly wind shift to the region and VCSH to KELD and KMLU at the end of the period. Winds should otherwise stay westerly at 5-10 kts. /57/
