DISCUSSION

Issued at 1159 AM CST Tue Jan 27 2026

After a frigid start this morning, temperatures are rapidly warming across the ArkLaTex, on track for afternoon highs in the upper 30s to middle 40s. This significant warming trend should result in abundant melting, but bear in mind that temperatures will still plunge back below freezing overnight, with the region looking at upper 20s north and middle 20s south by daybreak tomorrow morning.

Additionally, confidence is increasing in freezing fog development across the north and west of the ArkLaTex overnight tonight. This phenomenon could reintroduce slick conditions on area roadways, in addition to the usual visibility impairments. More widespread freezing fog will be possible tomorrow night into Thursday morning.

Wednesday and Thursday will see a continuation of today's warming trend, with more middle to upper 40s and even 50s returning to the forecast by late in the week, while morning lows remain in the 20s and lower 30s.

By late Thursday, prevailing upper level flow will shift sharply northwesterly, funneling a noticeably colder airmass into the region, while a weak shortwave attempts to kick up a brief bit of moisture overnight Thursday into Friday. Since last night's model run, precip chances for the ArkLaTex have trended dramatically downward, now being essentially negligible, with only brief chances for some very scattered showers across portions of LaSalle parish overnight Thursday into Friday morning. The remainder of Friday will be quiet and see skies clear as much colder air moves in, bringing another night of teens and single digits Saturday and Sunday mornings, while afternoon highs rebound from near freezing Saturday back into the 40s and 50s by the end of this extended forecast period.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 627 PM CST Tue Jan 27 2026

For the 28/00Z TAF period, VFR conditions prevail this evening with some dense high-level cloud cover consisting of both cirrus and high altocu. As this cloud begins to thin out and decrease in coverage across our NW airspace, will have to watch out for the potential for dense freezing fog development overnight through early Wednesday morning. This will generally include areas near and northwest of the I-30 corridor as well as possibly the I-20 corridor of NE TX which could possibly impact the TXK/TYR/GGG and ELD terminals. For this reason, have maintained the addition of IFR vsbys at these sites just prior to and shortly after sunrise. Otherwise, look for light and variable winds overnight, becoming W/NW near 5 mph by around 15Z on Wednesday.
