Mesoscale Discussion 0026
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0306 PM CST Thu Jan 09 2025

   Areas affected...Portions of northeast Texas into far southeast
   Oklahoma and far southwest Arkansas

   Concerning...Freezing rain 

   Valid 092106Z - 100100Z

   SUMMARY...Freezing rain and perhaps some snow/sleet mix will
   continue spreading northeastward across northeast Texas into the
   early evening. Some locations could see freezing rain rates around
   0.10 inch/3 hours.

   DISCUSSION...Recent mosaic radar data shows a swath of mixed winter
   precipitation spreading northeastward across north-central TX --
   where surface temperatures are hovering around 32-33F. Within a belt
   of strong deep-layer southwesterly flow, and at the nose of an
   eastward-shifting plume of warm advection, this activity will
   continue expanding across northeast TX into this evening. Here,
   forecast soundings indicate a deep/saturated profile with a
   warm-nose temperature around 0.1-0.2C atop sub-freezing surface
   conditions -- favoring partial melting of descending hydrometeors.
   This should support primarily freezing rain, though some mix of
   sleet/snow will also be possible. Freezing rain rates around 0.10
   inch/3 hours will be possible in some locations across northeast TX
   into far southeast OK and southwest AR through the evening.
