.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1112 PM CST Mon Dec 22 2025

Warmer and more humid conditions have returned to the region in
wake of a warm front this past morning. We saw some of the stratus
clear several hours ago, but it is starting to expand again. Along
with the expansion of the low clouds areawide, models continue to
hint at some fog development. We have already seen some patchy fog
across the region over the past couple of hours, with the most
being concentrated across our Central Louisiana zones. The
expansion of fog will need to be monitored closely overnight, as
some fog could be dense at times.

Upper ridging is still expected to rapidly settle over the region
today, which should finally give us some sunshine. This ridge is
forecasted to remain in place through the rest of the Christmas
Holiday week, yielding dry conditions and partly cloudy skies
over the area during this period. At the same time, the region
will maintain low-level southwesterly flow. This will result in
unseasonably warm temperatures over the area this week, which is
commonly associated with flow from this direction. Record highs
can`t be ruled out, as afternoon temperatures will range from the
mid to upper 70s over the next few days, with some isolated low
80s possible. By the end of the week and into the first half of
the upcoming weekend, we could see widespread highs in the upper
70s to lower 80s. In addition to the heat, we will also need to
watch for the development of low clouds and fog overnight each day
during this period. However, this daily fog should burn off by
mid-morning. Much needed rain chances will return Sunday as another
cold front moves into the region. This should bring an end to the
above normal temperatures by early next week, with overnight lows
possibly returning below freezing. /20/
