DISCUSSION

Issued at 941 PM CST Tue Dec 23 2025

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for parts of NW Louisiana and Deep East Texas overnight tonight through tomorrow morning. Persistant moisture advection over the past several days, clearer skies, and weakening surface winds are priming the area for fog both tonight and possibly Christmas Eve night. ASOS observations have Natchitoches down to 1 mi visibility at the time of writing, with other surrounding areas beginning to drop as well. Fog is generally expected to spread south to north overnight, with the greatest impacts staying along and south of the I-20 corridor. The current advisory is in effect until 10 am on Wednesday morning, but may be adjusted later if fog is slow to mix out.

Things look to stay quiet, albeit much warmer than average, throughout the rest of the week. High temperature records were set in Shreveport, Texarkana, El Dorado, Tyler, and Longview today. And thanks to upper-level high pressure and surface southerly flow, that trend won't change anytime soon. The current forecast has areas all across the Ark-La-Tx reaching the upper 70s to low 80s through Christmas day and into the weekend. The same setup should keep conditions dry as well, despite the higher surface moisture.

Cooler conditions may be on the horizon with a cold frontal passage Sunday night. Long range models suggest that this front could be strong enough to bring the region to below-average temperatures Monday, which almost sounds miraculous after the warm December we've had so far. This front could also initiate some rain as it moves through the area, but exact location and timing will likely be in flux while it stays in the long-term period.
