KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1246 AM CST Wed Jan 28 2026

- Freezing fog has developed in a few spots and an advisory may become necessary as the skies thin the middeck and cirrus. Tomorrow night will see more keeping our roadways dangerous. - High temperatures will warm into the 40s and 50s through the rest of the work week, but the cold ground will keep us freezing each night with a few cenLA exceptions by Friday.

- Another sharp cold front will arrive on Friday with more teens and 20s this weekend. Highs on Saturday in the 30s and 40s Sunday with sunshine, but we are looking forward to a good old rainy warming trend that follows for Tuesday through Thursday.

UPDATE

Issued at 545 AM CST Wed Jan 28 2026

Zone update was sent earlier for the Freezing FG Advisory that was issued for NE TX/SE OK/SW AR and portions of NW LA through 17Z, as sfc obs, various traffic cams, and satellite imagery confirm that areas of FZFG have developed across portions of these areas. While not everyone will see this develop, expanding FZFG observed on the satellite imagery across the existing icepack will result in additional refreezing of elevated and road surfaces for much of the morning before temps are able to climb back above freezing. /15/

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1246 AM CST Wed Jan 28 2026

Freezing fog is becoming a little more widespread, but officially only reported at Idabel, DeQueen and Mount Pleasant recently. An Advisory may be set in place during the next few hours as these clouds thin overhead, in the wake of short wave aloft. We even had a couple of report of snow flurries in E TX this late evening, and the SHV ASOS briefly had -SN, with just enough evaporation Monday boosting the humidity, allowing the tiny flakes not to sublimate and make it down to the ground. The freezing fog is obviously the bigger impact addition toward daybreak with more freezing fog in store Wednesday overnight.

Otherwise, the melting sleet and ice will keep lows freezing this week with few exceptions, but our highs will do well in the sunshine and help improve our overall conditions. However, that ends Thursday as our next sharp cold front arrives early Friday with a core 1044mb Arctic air mass settling down the river valleys. The frontal passage will remain dry as will the weekend with sunshine making it look great outside, but the NW-NE winds will take us back down the roller coaster to bottom out Saturday with only 30s areawide, and wind chills in the 20s for many.

So our short Mardi Gras season is quite possible and then some for those looking looking to enjoy the large crowds despite the chill. And we can look for more record lows and maybe some highs too on Saturday. We'll see 40s for highs on Sunday and then super nice 50s next week. Lows will finally get above freezing by Tuesday. However, the clouds will soon return, and this time bearing more needed rainfall by Tuesday and through much of next week. WPC has posted near one inch for our Tuesday. /24/

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 544 AM CST Wed Jan 28 2026

Areas of FZFG have developed early this morning across portions of NE TX/SE OK/SW AR/NW LA atop the existing icepack in place, and should affect the TYR/GGG/TXK/SHV terminals through mid to late morning before lifting. As it does so, a weak stratus shield may develop atop the still moist grounds before eventually mixing out, with mostly SKC expected for the afternoon. Areas of thin cirrus will begin spreading E into the region after 00Z Thursday, gradually thickening late. However, the potential for at least patchy FZFG will again exist late tonight across E TX/SE OK/SW AR and NW LA, and thus have accounted for this by/after 08Z for the affected terminals. Lt/Vrb winds to start the TAF period will become WNW around 5kts by mid/late morning, before becoming Lt/Vrb or calm after 00Z. /15/
