.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1159 PM CST Sun Feb 1 2026

Clear skies for Claude the Crawfish to see his shadow for us with
6 more weeks of winter technically either way, but our actual
weeks will run above average through mid month, in looking at the
CPC 8 to 14 day outlook. Average is 60 degrees this time of year,
and we will remain above that for a couple of days, then back to
just below for a couple of days. However warmer temperatures will
be returning for Valentine`s Day and our Mardi Gras festivities
over the weekend.

So when will the clouds return? No shadow perhaps before sundown
today as our low begins to approach sliding down the Red River
Valley. We`ll see showers pre dawn on Tuesday that will increase
in coverage and to some degree intensity, but keeping below severe
limits with consideration of the SPC day 2 Outlook and ending
overnight. The WPC is looking for a tenth to quarter inch or so
along I-30 and then building higher totals down I-49 to near an
inch in a few locales. Our winds will be SW today and S on
Tuesday, but shifting to NW late on Tuesday, ending the rain and
spreading back down slightly below average temps for highs and
lows during midweek. Then another weak dry frontal passage
precedes the busy weekend. /24/

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 601 AM CST Mon Feb 2 2026

VFR and clear skies this morning across the airspace. Expect for
SKC to be the dominate sky condition through the first half of the
period ahead of increasing BKN/OVC CIGs through the evening/overnight.
Sustained 5-10kt terminal winds will be breezy at times through
the period, gusting as high as 15kt. Hi-res suggests that SHRA
initiation will be sometime around or shortly after 03/12z.
Therefore, any mention of SHRA/VCSH has been deferred to the next
TAF package.
