.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 935 PM CST Wed Dec 24 2025

Surface high pressure centered across the north-central gulf coast
to maintain weak southerly flow across the region. Moisture to
continue to advect north overnight allowing for another round of
low clouds and fog across portions of the ArkLaTex with
conditions improving through late-morning on Christmas day. Hi-
Res models continue to suggest that areas of dense fog could be
possible across portions of north Louisiana and Deep East Texas
overnight with many observations across these areas and southward
already reporting reduced visibilities. For this package, went
ahead and issued a Dense Fog Advisory across north Louisiana and
Deep East Texas adjacent to advisories already in effect from
neighboring offices.

Near record high temperatures expected again on Thursday
afternoon due to an upper-level ridge prevailing areawide.
Temperatures across most locations to climb into the upper 70s to
lower 80s with overnight lows again settling in the low to mid
60s.

Warm and dry pattern to remain basically unchanged through
Sunday. A cold front will move across the region on Sunday
afternoon and evening allowing for increased rain chances
areawide. Winter to return behind the front with temperatures
ranging from highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s across the
region through the middle of next week. /05/
