130 FXUS64 KSHV 081822 AAA AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1222 PM CST Fri Nov 8 2024 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 1004 AM CST Fri Nov 8 2024 Cloud coverage remains heavy this morning as some overrunning convection has been present on the SHV radar. Mesoanalysis indicates that surface obs are running about 5 to 10 deg F cooler this hour when compared to 24 hours ago. At the same time, reflectivity returns present are within an elevated instability core, with the surface instability trapped just to the south of the KPOE radar site, and along the stalled boundary in the same location. Convective showers are likely through the afternoon, with PoPs increasing into the evening as a cold front approaches from the west. Some of that surface instability will attempt to climb north across East Texas this afternoon, where a marginal severe threat is located. Main concern through the rest of today and overnight will be the chance for urban and small stream flooding due to excessive rainfall across East Texas, and SE Oklahoma as the boundary approaches. KNAPP && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1222 PM CST Fri Nov 8 2024 LIFR/IFR cigs with reduced vsbys in -DZ will linger across the region through much if not all of the 18Z TAF period, near and N of a stationary front that lingers from Deep E TX across Cntrl and NE LA. MVFR cigs may return for at least a portion of the afternoon at LFK/MLU as the front tries to slowly retreat to the WNW. A cluster of -SHRA with embedded convection continues to linger while slowly shifting N across extreme NE TX/SW AR, and will affect TXK through 20-21Z before ending, although additional scattered -SHRA should redevelop by mid and late afternoon along and N of the front and shift N across the region through the evening/overnight hours. Have continues VCSH/-SHRA mention at all terminals by late afternoon and especially after 00Z, with some embedded thunder possible. Vsby reductions are likely as well, with the convection slowly marching E along a secondary weak cold front that will eventually become stationary by Saturday afternoon from SW AR into extreme NW LA/Deep E TX. Should see some cig improvement by/after 12Z at TYR as MVFR cigs return, but IFR cigs will persist elsewhere through the end of the TAF period before some improvement is noted with the diminishing convection. ENE winds 7-10kts this afternoon will diminish to 5kts or less after 00Z. /15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
