.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 1205 AM CDT Sun Apr 19 2026

 - Rain will continue to come to an end to the southwest this
   morning.

 - Some patchy fog will be possible for areas between I-20 and
   I-30 this morning .

 - Dry and pleasant conditions through Monday night, followed by a
   warming trend and some thunderstorm chances.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1205 AM CDT Sun Apr 19 2026

Radar imagery early this morning is just showing a few lingering
showers across our far southern zones that should clear out of the
area in the next few hours. Meanwhile, surface observations are
showing some lower visibility across southwest Arkansas, northeast
Texas and far northern Louisiana. I have added some patchy fog in
these areas to account for this. Morning temperatures will range
from the upper 30s across our far northern zones, lower 50s across
our far southern zones, and then the 40s for points in between.
Despite clearing skies, temperatures will struggle to climb much,
with afternoon highs ranging from the the lower to mid 70s across
the region, leading to what should be a beautiful day.
Temperatures Monday morning will range from the mid to upper 40s
across the region before reaching afternoon highs in the mid to
upper 70s.

Rain chances will return to the area on Tuesday, mainly across our
western zones. This will greatly limit temperatures, keeping them
in the lower 70s across our east Texas counties and then the mid
to upper 70s across our eastern zones. Rain chances will then
remain in place for portions of the region through the rest of
the week and into next weekend, where some additional widespread
rain could be possible. We will see high temperatures reach back
into the 80s for portions of the area on Wednesday, with more
widespread readings in the 80s for Thursday and Friday. While
there will be some potential for strong to severe storms at times
next week, there remains enough uncertainty in the models to say
we are not expecting it, but will monitor it for any changes,
because after all , it is spring across the ArkLaTex. /33/

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 639 AM CDT Sun Apr 19 2026

For the ArkLaTex terminals, Patchy dense fog and VLIFR cigs at
KGGG/KELD with wet ground and light wind. Visibility has been
bouncing a few sites under the thinning mid and high clouds.
Winds will be N/NE winds 5-10KTs and we`ll slack and veer late day
and especially after sunset. Nice Spring weather will kick off
the new work week, with some additional showers during mid & late
week. Prevailing winds will keep southeasterly. /24/
