KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1231 PM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

- Clearing skies later today will make for some chilly readings across the Four-State area during the overnight hours.

- The ground is still damp at least along and east of I-49 due the cloudiness during the day. Patchy fog and frost are in the forecast, light freezing fog will be possible in some locales.

- The dry weather pattern continues all week with our next chance for shower activity slated to arrive next Monday.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1231 PM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

Cold surface high pressure remains anchored in the Great Lake States, extending down the MS River Valley into OK/N TX. The NE winds are running out of gas north of I-20 with many calm observations as the CCA comes to an end over the Natural State. Skies are cloudy for S AR and all of our LA Parishes. Temperatures as expected, vary greatly from sun to clouds with low to mid 50s in sunny E TX and all other sites ranging in the 40s under the blanket.

Our dew points remain in the 30s and all above freezing. However, once the sunsets, some evaporative cooling will allow for dew points to fall and our air temps along with during the overnight. So, for now we have in the forecast widespread patchy fog with areas of frost for the better part of the overnight, but clearly some freezing fog could develop during some part of night or early in the predawn as our winds will begin to stir out of the south with the coldest readings at that time. So caution during this timeframe may require an advisory for some areas early on Tuesday. Our soundings of late continue to dry from the top down and will erode the clouds late today once heating falls off. And we could end up with just frost and no fog which would be the best case for the morning commute. So keep abreast of possibility as we proceed through the overnight.

The good news is that a nice warming trend will soon unfold as the southerly winds veer to SW with highs climbing through the 60s. Our coldest lows will occur tonight and likewise warm back to closer to average for early to mid December through the work week and weekend. Now the southerly winds will become a little more shifty beyond midweek with some swings around the dial eventually bringing back some CCA before the weekend as our highs will drop back closer to averages. The next chance for rainfall will arrive early next week ahead of another strong cold front with a fresh continental air mass at 1040mb plus moves into the midWest and powers down the MS River Valley. /24/

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1154 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

A mix of VFR and MVFR this afternoon as the clouds are attempting to erode across the central airspace with BKN/OVC still going strong across the east. To the west, SKC is in place and is expected to remain until any BR/FG potential materializes overnight. This will be important as overnight temps fall to near or below freezing, with BR/FG potential through the overnight hours. Though the current TAF package does not specifically mention it due to limited confidence at this time, and uncertainty surrounding how fast the eastern CIGs erode, there is some potential for freezing FG at local terminals overnight. Icing on parked or untreated aircraft may be possible depending on the extent of the FG development. If confidence increases, an update will add this verbiage in the 00z package. For now, the potential is there, thus the reason for messaging in the discussion. What fog does develop should quickly burn off through the AM with a brief FEW/SCT period ahead of what looks to be a mostly SKC period as winds shift southerly by morning.
