Cold Weather Impacts Southern U.S. This Weekend

The ArkLaTex region is experiencing a cooler weather pattern, with temperatures dropping into the 40s and highs in the 60s, but warmer conditions are expected late this weekend and into early next week, with a return of rain by Tuesday. Similarly, New Mexico has seen exceptionally cold temperatures, but a ridge of high pressure will bring warmer weather this weekend, with potential rain and snow in higher elevations early next week. Southeast Louisiana is also facing a chilly spell, with highs in the low 60s and frost possible in some areas on Saturday morning. In Western Kansas, freezing morning temperatures are expected, with a slight warming trend over the weekend before colder air arrives next week. All regions are preparing for a mix of sunshine and clouds, with varying chances of precipitation leading into the Thanksgiving holiday. As weather systems shift, residents should stay informed about changing conditions across these states.
