REMAINDER OF THE ARKLATEX. TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON IN THE LOW
TO MID 70S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS WITH PORTIONS OF DEEP EAST TEXAS

APPROACHING COLD FRONT. COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS IN ITS WAKE. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
RAIN CHANCES TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE ACROSS THE REGION MAINLY
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ON THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS OVERRUNNING
MOISTURE SLIDES NORTHEAST ACROSS THE COLD SURFACE AIRMASS. THIS
COULD LEAD TO FREEZING RAIN ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHEAST TEXAS ON FRIDAY.

TEMPS TO REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS THE REST OF THE ARKLATEX ON FRIDAY
BEFORE TRANSITION TO FREEZING RAIN ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE
20 ON FRIDAY NIGHT AS TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW FREEZING SHORTLY
AFTER SUNSET AND A GULF LOW DRIVES INCREASED MOISTURE ACROSS THE

WITH LESSER AMOUNTS AS FAR SOUTH AS INTERSTATE 20 THROUGH SUNDAY
