854 FXUS64 KSHV 031150 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 650 AM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1033 PM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 - Cooler than average temperatures will continue into the new work week as the northeasterly winds linger through Tuesday. - We will likely see areas south of I-20 require a Heat Advisory once again by Tuesday or Wednesday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1033 PM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 With the recent rain, we are starting to see some fog development in portions of the region. Winds are expected to stay light overnight, which will allow for some patchy fog to continue. Any fog that does develop should mix out a few hours after sunrise Sunday morning. The high pressure over the Desert Southwest is keeping our upper- level flow out of the northwest, advecting relatively cooler and drier air into the Ark-La-Tx. This will bring temperatures closer to the realm of seasonal, with afternoon highs down to the upper 80s and low 90s through Monday. Model guidance is continuing to pick up on a shortwave trough moving along the flow and impacting the area on Monday. The associated vorticity advection is being picked up by the NBM, and bringing increased PoPs through southeastern OK and eastern TX Monday afternoon. The location and timing of the trough could still be in flux and will be further refined in future packages. The brief respite in temperatures will be over on Tuesday, as the pressure gradient across the CONUS brings surface winds back to a southerly orientation. In addition to the increased warm air and moisture advection, the Desert Southwest high pressure center will expand and shift to the east, keeping large-scale rain at bay. Temperatures look to be creeping back into the mid 90s through next week and may bring heat indices back up to heat product criteria. Afternoon sea breezes may bring some showers to our southeast zones late next week, but the long term is looking to stay hot and dry. /57/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 647 AM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025 For the 03/12Z TAF period, most sites are VFR with post-frontal drier air filtering south across our airspace. The few exceptions are across East TX where low cigs persist and will likely linger through mid morning along with some patchy fog before it scatters out and lifts as heating commences. A modest cu field will develop toward midday with some passing high clouds as well through much of the period. So overall, a quiet period is expected with mostly SKC conditions returning around 04/00Z as light E/NE winds prevail around 5 kts on average through the daytime hours while near calm overnight. /19/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
