309 FXUS64 KSHV 191926 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 226 PM CDT Sat Oct 19 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday Night) Issued at 136 PM CDT Sat Oct 19 2024 Upper-level ridging will continue to dominate the short-term, as it will move directly overhead by tomorrow afternoon. In turn, the forecast will very much be copy and paste for the next few days. Highs tomorrow will range in the mid-70s to low 80s, with overnight lows remaining in the low-40s to low-50s. /44/ && .LONG TERM... (Monday through next Friday) Issued at 136 PM CDT Sat Oct 19 2024 Upper-level ridging will continue to flatten out, as the closed low pressure over the Rockies begins to eject East on Monday. In turn, afternoon highs will continue to climb, potentially reaching 90 degrees in some locations by Wednesday. This closed low will be absorbed by the larger troughing pattern over the Midwest, which will then begin swinging SE by Thursday morning. A cold front will trail this trough into the Plains, eventually stalling just to the north of our region. Because of this, only a few of our northern zones could see their temperatures drop, with most of the region remaining in the mid to upper-80s into next weekend. Little to no precipitation over the next week remains likely. /44/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1231 PM CDT Sat Oct 19 2024 For the 19/18Z TAF update, VFR vis/cig conditions are expected through the period with continuing light easterly surface winds across the entire airspace. /16/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
