We extended the Dense Fog Advisory for another couple of hours. The winds are piling it all into Texas and still lingering in the LA bayous and valleys along the Red River. The airport is improving with blue skies above, but the moisture is a little deeper W of I-49. No other changes needed for this afternoon high temperature wise. Zone update is available. /24/

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1223 AM CST Mon Feb 16 2026

As the stratus deck that held on for much of yesterday continues to shift south of I-20, areas of fog have begun to develop early this morning across much of the region where skies have cleared. Therefore, have issued a Dense Fog Advisory for the majority of the region generally near and north of I-20 corridor through 9AM this morning. Expect areas of dense fog with visibility reduced to a quarter mile or less at times. In addition, expect low stratus to return to much of the region as well as indicated by satellite trends showing stratus shifting back westward from the MS River. So until the fog and low clouds begin to scour closer to midday, temperatures may be slow to rise initially but afternoon highs should eventually top out in the mid 60s to lower 70s with some sunshine returning later in the day. By this evening, look for mostly clear skies before clouds return once again after midnight as low temperatures drop back into the mid 40s to lower 50s.

Increasing southerly flow on Tuesday will push temperatures even warmer with highs reaching the lower to mid 70s areawide. This warming trend will extend through Wednesday and Thursday with widespread mid to upper 70s and even some lower 80s expected as low-level flow trends more SWly, which typically results in very warm temperatures this time of year. By late Thursday into Friday, a Pacific cold front will begin to slowly edge its way into our region before briefly stalling out. This boundary will provide the focus for increasing rain chances on Friday through Saturday, before a shortwave advancing eastward from the Rockies through the Southern Plains helps to usher the cold front through the region on Saturday. Dry and more seasonable conditions are expected to return for Sunday into early next week with high temperatures in the 50s and 60s while overnight lows drop back into the 30s and 40s.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 526 AM CST Mon Feb 16 2026

For the 16/12z TAF update...Still seeing some widespread fog this morning across much of the region that has reduced visibility to below one mile at times. Additionally, surface observations are showing some low ceilings across the region this morning as well. Because of this, widespread IFR to LIFR conditions will remain in place for most terminals through the morning hours. We do have a Dense Fog Advisory in effect for much of the region, with the exception of KLFK, that goes through 9:00 AM. While we will hold onto some of the cloud cover, VFR conditions should return for all terminals around 16/17z. Otherwise, winds should remain light and generally out of the south to southeast throughout this period. /33/
