Issued at 1030 AM CST Mon Feb 3 2026 - Showers and isolated thunderstorms to persist through today, becoming confined to mainly north Louisiana this evening. - Below average 50s for highs and 30s for lows return in the wake of the front for Wednesday and Thursday. Then warmer above average temperatures for Friday and the upcoming weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 944 AM CST Tue Feb 3 2026 Widespread showers to persist ahead of a cold front that is forecast to move southeast across the region today. Increased instability ahead of the front, resulting from higher dewpoint values and an approaching upper-trough, will allow for a few thunderstorms this afternoon during the time of peak heating. Ceilings to clear from the northwest this evening as high pressure rebuilds behind the front. The coldest temperatures of the forecast period will be Wednesday into Thursday with highs averaging in the upper 50s and lows in the 30s, with slightly below freezing temperatures expected Thursday morning across most of the region. A warming trend is expected to begin on Thursday as the surface high shifts south of the region. By late week, mild temperatures expected, ranging from highs in the 70s to lows in the 40s. Not much variation in overall temperature profile expected through the weekend into early next week as a series of dry frontal boundaries allow for continued mild airmass exchanges. Otherwise, upper-level ridging will maintain dry conditions areawide. /05/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1138 AM CST Tue Feb 3 2026 MVFR ceilings prevail over much of the region for the beginning of this period, with SHRA scattered across much of our south and eastern zones. SHRA is expected to continue until a line of TSRA develops along the cold frontal boundary and pushes through this afternoon, shifting surface winds to be northwesterly behind it. Sky coverage should lift, and clear for some, this evening after the frontal passage. KELD and KMLU look to hold on to lower cigs into the late morning hours on Wednesday but clearing soon after. /57/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
