DISCUSSION

Issued at 1142 PM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

The first of two cold fronts this week is currently moving through the area. Surface observations would paint this front extending from Jacksonville Texas northeast through northern Louisiana. Another thing surface observations are showing is some lower visibility down in deep east Texas, but this should clear up quickly as the cold front passes through, which should happen in the next few hours. This first front will be well south of the region by sunrise this morning, and a secondary cold front will begin knocking on the doors by this afternoon, although, recent guidance suggests the second front will slow down some today, and not push through till later this evening and into Friday.

One thing to note about today, winds speeds will be stronger throughout the day, and RH values will be in the lower 30 percent range across the region. This will lead to some fire weather concerns today. Because of this, we are going to be issuing a Fire Danger Statement this morning as weather conditions will be favorable for wildfire growth. While winds will remain somewhat elevated on Friday, they won't be high enough to bring the same fire weather concerns at this time. Our next chances of rain don't come till the weekend as a disturbance moves through the region. From here, it looks like we are trending towards a warm-up again for the middle of next week. /33/
