.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.
