820 FXUS64 KSHV 101105 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 605 AM CDT Sun Aug 10 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1130 PM CDT Sat Aug 9 2025 - Slightly cooler conditions expected through the remainder of the weekend into much of next week. - Rain chances return to the area starting Sunday and becoming more widespread on Monday and Tuesday. - Hot and dry conditions to possibly return late next week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1115 PM CDT Sat Aug 9 2025 An inverted upper-level trough extending across the northwestern gulf into the ArkLaTex and the mid-Mississippi River Valley to bring big changes to the forecast through the remainder of the weekend into most of next week. Instability associated with the upper-trough will allow for sufficient mixing to limit high temperatures to the low to mid 90s through Tuesday. However, with low-level southerly flow across the ArkLaTex resulting from a surface high across the Appalachians, dewpoint values in the mid 70s will continue to support afternoon heat index values around 100 to 105 degrees each day. The upper-trough will linger across Texas into Oklahoma through the majority of the forecast period allowing for increased chances for diurnally driven afternoon convection each day across mainly the eastern half of the ArkLaTex with the highest chances on Monday. The upper-trough to eject east on Wednesday night into Thursday to be replaced by a westward building upper-ridge which will bring a return of hot and dry conditions across the region late in the workweek with temperatures by Friday possibly approaching 100 degrees across portions of north Louisiana and south-central Arkansas. /05/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 602 AM CDT Sun Aug 10 2025 Seeing some early morning cumulus on IR this morning with heights ranging from near 35hdft to near 5kft. We will see more of this as the morning continues and especially by late morning into the afternoon hours. Cannot rule out some brief ceilings near 4-6kft today along with isolated convection once again across portions of NE TX, SW AR and N LA. Storm chances do not warrant a mention in the 06z TAF package however. Any remnant convection should quickly dissipate after 00z this evening. Look for mostly E to SE winds today with speeds generally under 10kts outside of convection outflow boundaries. 13 && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
