532 FXUS64 KSHV 090606 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 106 AM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1153 PM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025 - Post-frontal air mass will continue to slowly filter south over the next 24 hours with dew points dropping into the 50s. - Temperatures will only see a modest dip behind the front with most locations topping out somewhere in the 80s through Friday. - Upper-level ridge will expand back over the region this weekend with warmer temperatures and southerly winds returning. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1153 PM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025 The push of noticeably drier air behind the recent cold front has been slightly delayed, but the latest sfc obs indicate dew points in the 50s just north of our region. These lower dew points will gradually spread farther south over the next 24 hours with a more pleasant feel to the air by this time tomorrow night. Temperatures will respond accordingly as well as we should manage to shave off a few degrees Thursday afternoon as compared to the past several days as highs will largely range through the 80s. Overnight lows will be even more pleasant as this dry air tends to cool rapidly after sunset with 50s expected virtually areawide by daybreak on Friday morning. NW flow aloft will maintain slightly milder conditions through Friday, but the upper-level ridge will really begin to expand back eastward into our region throughout this weekend. That will result in rising temperatures once again, especially through the early to middle part of next week. Look for temperatures to nudge back into the mid and upper 80s with some lower 90s also creeping back into the forecast for next week. Unfortunately, this pattern will only continue to support the status quo in the rain department and that does not bode well for our expanding drought conditions across the region. /19/ && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 102 AM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025 VFR conditions currently prevailing across our airspace as much drier air is backdooring its way into our region from the northeast attm. Thin cirrus is working its way across our region however and that will continue through at least the morning hours. Will need to watch for the possibility of some low MVFR/IFR ceilings mainly across the TYR/LFK terminals closer to sunrise which could continue through mid-morning but the backdooring drier low level airmass should eventually win out across our far west and southwest terminal locations. Look for northeast winds near 10kts with some higher gusts as we go through the day. 13 && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
