.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1224 AM CDT Mon Mar 16 2026

Strong post-frontal gradient winds will continue across the Four
State Region through the next 12-24 hours before waning. This will
facilitate efficient cold air advection overnight and through the
day, prompting another areawide Freeze Warning on Monday night
into Tuesday morning. Starting on Tuesday and continuing through
the rest of the week, is a very gradual warmup with no significant
chance of rain through next weekend. This is due to persistent
ridging with a ridge axis that shifts along and east of the
Mississippi River Valley by Wednesday, positioning southerly flow
and subsequent warm air advection across the Four State Region
(mid-to upper 80s, even some 90s are not out of the question by
next Friday). Long-range guidance suggests somewhat increased
uncertainty in synoptics beyond next weekend as ridging breaks
down and potential for the next frontal passage increases beyond
the seven-day forecast window. Higher uncertainty remains for any
precipitation in and beyond this forecast window. /16/

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 650 PM CDT Sun Mar 15 2026

VFR conditions will continue through the 16/00Z TAF period. A
narrow but broken line of strong to severe convection along a
strong cold front will quickly shift ESE across the remainder of
Deep E TX/N LA/SCntrl AR through mid-evening, exiting the MLU
terminal by 03Z. Cigs along/ahead of this convection will range
from 4-6kft, but strong wind gusts up to 45kts will be possible.
Behind the convection/front, cigs will quickly lift, with
AC/cirrus cigs increasing late this evening overnight, before
diminishing by/shortly after daybreak Monday. NW winds in wake of
the fropa will remain strong and gusty, with the strongest gusts
up to 40kts possible this evening through a portion of the
overnight hours before gradually weakening. NW winds 15-25kts with
gusts to 40kts this evening will weaken slightly to around 15kts
with gusts to 30 kts after 10Z. /15/
