469 FXUS64 KSHV 041755 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1155 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1234 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025 - Wet and chilly through Friday, with widespread rain, cool temperatures, and lingering clouds. - Dry conditions settle in late in the weekend, cool start to next week followed by a warming trend into the middle of the week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 945 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025 The next several days will stay cool with on and off again rain through at least Friday afternoon thanks to the recent inflow of moisture. Areas in the south and southeast portions of the region are more likely to experience much steadier rainfall, possibly seeing rainfall totals exceeding 1". Rain and patchy drizzle will slowly push their way to the east beginning late overnight tonight. There will be a brief return of the showers Friday morning for much of the southeastern half of the area before clearing out for good Friday afternoon. Cloud cover will be slower to clear due to surface low pressure and ample mid-level moisture. Areas could see peaks of sunshine Saturday afternoon, but it won`t be more consistently clear across the Ark-La-Tx until closer to Sunday afternoon. A benign northwest flow pattern will set up over the Four State Region by the beginning of next week, keeping skies clear and temperatures near-normal in the 50s and low 60s. Overnight lows will get chilly, with areas north of I-20 falling near or below freezing Monday and Tuesday morning. Surface winds look to shift southerly late Tuesday morning which will begin another warming trend through the end of the forecast period, where we will be flirting with near 70 degree highs in our southern zones by Wednesday afternoon. 57 && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1146 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025 IFR and LIFR continue to hold a firm grip on the airspace this afternoon as persistent RA/DZ/BR and low OVC CIGs make for challenging flight conditions. This looks to continue well into the afternoon and into the early evening for some. Guidance does suggest that we could see some subtle scattering of the low and dense OVC across the west and NW airspace but with little change expected across the mid-deck and high level coverage. The only benefit here will be the departure of the persistent RA and some gradual flight condition recovery, though instances of DZ may continue well beyond 00Z. Towards the back half of the period, elected to introduce a slight break to the low and mid-deck, but again likely remaining BKN/OVC aloft, with the dense low clouds remaining an issue across the southern terminals of the airspace. Best chance for VFR right now looks to be across the western terminals in ETX with a mix of MVFR and IFR elsewhere. 53 && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
