755 FXUS64 KSHV 222149 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 349 PM CST Fri Nov 22 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday Night) Issued at 214 PM CST Fri Nov 22 2024 Surface high pressure has settled over the region today. This will result in mostly clear skies and light winds. Under these conditions, expect very good radiational cooling tonight, with patchy frost as overnight lows are expected to drop into the 30s areawide. Freezing temps will be possible again across portions of Southeast Oklahoma and Southwest & South-Central Arkansas. High pressure will start to slide east of the region on Saturday, but mostly clear skies will remain. However, light southerly winds will return, which will result in a slight warm-up across the area. Highs will range from the upper 60s to lower 70s, with the warmer temps across our East Texas and Western Louisiana zones. The southerly winds will also yield warmer overnight lows on Saturday night, with temps expected to fall into the 40s areawide. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through next Thursday) Issued at 214 PM CST Fri Nov 22 2024 Dry conditions will remain on Sunday and through out the first half of Monday, but with southerly winds still in place, expect the warming trend to continue. It`s very likely some areas could see afternoon highs into the lower 80s during this period. The cooler and more seasonal temps will return late Monday into Tuesday, as a cold front moves across the region. Despite the southerly winds in the days preceding the front, deep-layer moisture will be limited. Long-range models are only suggesting slight to low chance pops along the boundary, mainly across our South-Central Arkansas and Northeast/Central Louisiana zones. The seasonal conditions will be short-lived, as the front will return northward as a warm front to about the Interstate 20 corridor on Wednesday. Highs will return back into the low to mid 70s. Rain chances will also return by Wednesday night and remain on Thursday, as an upper trough will swing across the Plains, bring another cold front across the region. Expect cooler temps to return in wake of this front, with the hint of morning lows near or below freezing again by the end of the work week. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 347 PM CST Fri Nov 22 2024 Thin cirrus will infiltrate portions of our airspace overnight but VFR conditions will prevail through the 24hr TAF cycle. Look for winds to become mostly calm overnight with SE to S winds returning on Saturday by late morning with speeds generally under 10kts. 13 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
