An arctic cold front progressed southeast across the Ark-La-Tex during the daytime hours on February 7th, with temperatures falling from the 70s on the 7th, into the 20s and lower 30s by the morning of February 8th. Extensive mid and high clouds moved back into the region during the daytime hours on the 8th, and thickened up ahead of a shortwave trough that progressed east across Central and East Texas during the afternoon and evening. Large scale forcing and overrunning of warmer air atop the cold, dry, arctic air in place ahead of this trough resulted in areas of sleet initially developing by midday and through the afternoon over East Texas and Northwest Louisiana. Afternoon temperatures over these areas were above freezing as they climbed into the mid 30s to near 40 degrees, such that no ice accumulations occurred initially. However, the warmer air overrunning the cold air mass resulted in a mix of light rain and sleet from the mid-afternoon through the evening. Temperatures cooled to near freezing during the evening through the overnight hours across much of East Texas and North Louisiana along and south of the Interstate 20 corridor as the rain/sleet mix continued, resulting in the light rain changing over to light freezing rain and sleet. Minor ice accumulations were observed (less than one-tenth of an inch), mainly over elevated objects including bridges and overpasses, trees and other vegetation across North Louisiana, which resulted in the closure of Interstate 49 through Shreveport between Interstate 20 and Bert Kouns Industrial Loop, as well as the Interstate 49 interchange along Interstate 220 in North Shreveport. What ice accumulations were observed quickly melted by mid-morning on February 9th as temperatures climbed back above freezing.
