503 FXUS64 KSHV 070701 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 101 AM CST Thu Nov 7 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Thursday through Friday) Issued at 1227 AM CST Thu Nov 7 2024 The stalled cold front should begin to retrograde today, which will allow for some scattered showers across the area. Temperatures will also climb a few degrees across the region, but thankfully no wholesale change in temperatures are expected. However, by Friday, the upper-level low will begin to eject into the Plains, which will greatly increase our rain chances into the weekend. Over the course of the short-term, no weather hazards or impacts are anticipated. /44/ && .LONG TERM... (Friday Night through Thursday) Issued at 1227 AM CST Thu Nov 7 2024 The bulk of this rainfall should work into the region by Friday night, as the upper-level low and cold front continue to push east. At this time, the threat for organized severe weather seems to be diminishing, as there will be a lack of instability across the region. However, I`m not willing to write that possibility off just yet. With that being said, some of this rainfall could be heavy at times, with locally heavy rainfall and isolated flash flooding possible through Sunday evening. This cold front also looks to become displaced from the main trough, stalling out along the I-30 corridor. This will shift the heaviest rain axis to our far eastern zones, before it finally exits the region on Monday. This will allow for a brief dry spell, before another system may clip the region towards the middle of the workweek. This will increase rain chances across the region once again. Aside from the locally heavy rainfall over the weekend, no additional hazardous weather or impacts are anticipated over the long-term. /44/ && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1103 PM CST Wed Nov 6 2024 For the 07/06Z TAF period, expanding stratus deck will gradually overtake our entire airspace overnight through Thursday morning with widespread MVFR/IFR cigs and eventually LIFR at most sites closer to daybreak. In addition, cannot rule out some patchy fog with reduced vsbys but this should be more localized compared to the more widespread low cigs. Gradual improvement is expected by the afternoon with MVFR/low VFR cigs returning. A few spotty showers will be possible across our eastern terminals so did add VCSH at both KELD/KMLU through the overnight hours. Otherwise, look for light N/NE winds overnight to trend more E/NE on Thursday between 5-10 kts. /19/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
