179 FXUS64 KSHV 141147 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 547 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1125 PM CST Thu Nov 13 2025 - Little change in our current pattern aside from a slow warming trend, and really for lows more than highs keeping mid 80s. - Early next week will start to see more cloudiness and still a slight chance for some rainfall with a weak front nearby. - By midweek, we will start to see some whole pattern changes as overrunning light rain gives way to some potential heavy thunderstorms as a deep upper trough brings focus to SW flow. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1125 PM CST Thu Nov 13 2025 The late summer pattern we endured with expanding drought conditions is slowly working back into our mid fall "rainy" month with continued warm and dry weather. The current pattern is locked in around the major ocean coastal players aloft and on the surface. This surface high over the N Gulf will soon be reinforced in the back door over the Appalachians into the SE U.S., essentially keeping us in this warm and dry S/SW flow through the weekend. This warming trend will bring in more low to mid 80s in for highs and lows edging into the 60s, widespread for us by early next week. We may see a couple of warm record lows by then, but our highs have been hotter record wise with mostly mid to upper 80s through mid month. The models are still looking at a slight chance for rain early next week, but this air mass at 1029mb keeps over the Great Lake states and it`s cold front will push down to along I-20, but the cold air keeping more in the Ohio valley. This air mass will follow the trend and end up further reinforcing the semi- permanent surface high over the Gulf coastal waters to start next week. The next system to follow will be the deep upper trough setting up on the west coast now, that will cross the intermountain west in two parts early next week. A secondary core low in the NW Pacific will quickly drop into the deepening pattern and we will see our SW flow aloft start to bring in all the Pacific moisture to our area by mid and late week. By late Tuesday and into Wednesday, light showers and isolated thunder will arrive with the lead short wave on the stationary front. Then then through Thursday the axis of heaviest amounts and most likely chance for some bumpy storms will occur overnight into early and midday Thursday. Timing at present is an ally for less heating and perhaps less bumpy storms. Then the heavy thunderstorm activity will be shifting the heavy axis to our east by sunset. The remainder of this system will slowly clear from W to E during Friday. For this time with all the added clouds our highs will trend cooler back into the 70s and lows, rain cooled lower 60s and eventually 50s again by Friday. /24/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 541 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 Areas of low cloud and FG this morning across our Deep East TX, NW Louisiana and SW Arkansas terminals. This should burn off quickly after sunrise, but for the time being, MVFR and even brief instances of IFR/LIFR may exist through 15z/16z. By the afternoon, a mix of SCT/BKN coverage should exist as a CU field develops. Clouds should begin to dissipate into the evening with the chance for some BR/FG potential once again overnight, but confidence on direct impacts were not high enough to include at this time. S/SW winds around 10kt look to hold once again for this afternoon, becoming lighter overnight. 53 && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Issued at 1125 PM CST Thu Nov 13 2025 Spotter activation is not expected at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
