.DISCUSSION...
(This afternoon through next Tuesday)
Issued at 1154 AM CST Wed Jan 14 2026

A cold front is moving across the Mid-South this morning. At
11 AM the front stretched from northwest Tennessee through the
Memphis metro into southern Arkansas. There is some redevelopment
occurring right along the front, and these showers will gradually
exit this afternoon. Post-frontal low clouds will linger, and
northwest winds will become gusty behind the front. Winds are
beginning to pick up across northeast Arkansas, and that will be
the trend across the Mid-South this afternoon. A Wind Advisory is
in effect through 6 pm for northeast Arkansas and the Missouri
Bootheel, where gusts over 30 mph will be common.

Skies will clear, and winds will gradually diminish tonight.
Decent radiational cooling will result in lows deep into the 20s
and wind chills dropping into the teens. Thursday will be very
cold as Canadian high pressure builds in. Highs will range from
the mid 30s at Paris (PHT) to the lower 40s across parts of north
Mississippi.

A large trough will remain over the eastern U.S. through the
middle of next week. This will result in a series of mostly dry,
reinforcing cold fronts moving through. As a result, we have high
confidence in below normal temperatures with highs mostly in the
30s and 40s and lows in the teens and 20s. The coldest period of
the stretch is expected to occur around Sunday when highs are
likely to climb to only around the freezing mark, and morning
feels-like temperatures will dip into the single digits.

The mean trough over the eastern U.S. should gradually shift east
toward the middle and end of next week, resulting in a more
zonal, somewhat milder, and wetter pattern.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 527 PM CST Wed Jan 14 2026

VFR conditions continue across the airspace, with some lingering
clouds across northeast MS including TUP. Clouds will continue to
move out behind the front, with gusty NW winds over the next few
hours. Winds will begin to die down between 04Z and 06Z, remaining
NW through tomorrow morning. Winds will begin to back by tomorrow
afternoon, becoming S/SW near the end of the current TAF period.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 1154 AM CST Wed Jan 14 2026

Dry weather and below normal temperatures will prevail through
the period. Minimum relative humidities will dip to around
30 percent most days. The 20 foot winds are expected to exceed
10 mph across parts of northeast Arkansas and the Missouri
Bootheel this weekend, though the cold temperatures should
mitigate any fire danger.
