...New DISCUSSION...

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 1047 AM CST Fri Nov 8 2024

The most significant concern in the near term will be the
potential for heavy rainfall that may develop, especially Saturday
aftn/evng when upper jet support and moisture transport seem to
maximize over the ArkLaMiss "Delta" region. A limited flash
flooding threat is taking shape and we`ll be sending out some
messaging for this soon. /EC/

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1155 AM CST Fri Nov 8 2024

Low stratus continues to be the primary concern. Ceilings will
continue to improve through the afternoon and evening with VFR
categories becoming more common, then as has been the case, we`ll
see ceilings lower overnight with IFR/LIFR categories most
prevalent by early Saturday morning. SHRA will be on the increase
as well overnight through Saturday, especially for western sites
in closer proximity to the frontal boundary. Otherwise, expect
occasional BR to reduce vsby as well, especially in rain areas.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 514 AM CST Fri Nov 8 2024

Mostly IFR/MVFR ceilings prevail at TAF sites this morning and
this will continue through the morning hours. Ceilings should
begin to lift after 17-18Z, with mostly VFR conditions at sites
this afternoon through the evening hours. Expect a return to
MVFR/IFR conditions overnight along with a few showers possible.
