480 FXUS64 KSHV 111027 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 527 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1106 PM CDT Sun Aug 10 2025 - Precipitation chances to increase across the region starting today and into Monday and Tuesday - While it will remain hot across the region into next week, heat index values should remain below critical thresholds - Unsettled pattern could continue into the middle/end of next week && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1120 PM CDT Sun Aug 10 2025 An upper-level trough across the western gulf, along with a second trough across the central gulf, will support an unsettled weather pattern through much of the work week across the ArkLaTex. Instability associated with the two upper-level disturbances will allow for increased cloud cover, limiting afternoon high temperatures to the lower to middle 90s through the week, as well as bringing increased chances for afternoon showers and thunderstorms each day. The highest rain chances will be from Tuesday through Wednesday, mainly across north Louisiana and south Arkansas as the central gulf disturbance moves inland into south Louisiana and Mississippi. Despite the disturbance moving north into the Ohio River Valley by Thursday, rain chances will not completely diminish across the ArkLaTex due to the west gulf trough expanding and lingering across north Texas into Oklahoma through late week. An upper-level ridge to build west across the northern gulf coast allowing for gradual warming across Louisiana and Arkansas on Friday and Saturday with afternoon highs forecast to climb into the mid 90s. Otherwise, surface high pressure to the east will allow for continued moist southerly flow across the ArkLaTex maintaining dewpoint values in the low to mid 70s through the period. /05/ && .AVIATION...
