348 FXUS64 KSHV 061751 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1151 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1114 PM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 - Dry weather dominates: Expect significantly drier conditions for the entire week, with no widespread precipitation in the forecast for the area. - Temperatures will fluctuate, featuring a warm peak on Sunday, a cooler start to the week on Monday, followed by another warming trend into Thursday, and then cooler for next weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 954 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 Dreary conditions will temporarily clear out overnight tonight. Despite the greater radiational cooling potential, low temeratures will stay warm in the 40s. Clouds will return Sunday morning and possibly bring a few more showers to our far southeastern zones during the afternoon. A zonal to northwest flow pattern aloft will keep conditions clear and dry once this cloud cover fully clears out Sunday night thanks to a frontal passage. Even with clear skies, temperature trends will vary through the week next week. The same front that clears the clouds Sunday night will bring a cooler airmass into the region. This airmass will keep temperatures cool on Monday and Tuesday before a southerly wind shift begins a warming trend over the following few days. Afternoon temperatures could climb into the 70s in several areas by Thursday. Another cold front is expected to move through the Ark-La-Tx late Thursday night and knock temperatures back into the 40s and 50s for Friday. The most recent run of the NBM has taken precip chances out of this last frontal passage, but there are still plenty of model runs between then and now where things can change. 57 && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1145 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025 For the 06/18z TAFs, visibilities have improved in most locations, but IFR/LIFR ceilings persist across much of East Texas and into portions of Southeast Oklahoma and extreme Southwest Arkansas. Satellite loops over the last several hours have shown these clouds have been gradually eroding from southeast to northwest. Thus, VFR conditions are expected to prevail at all TAF sites by 06/20z. However, southerly winds will allow low-level moisture to pool across the area overnight ahead of another cold front. IFR/LIFR flight conditions should be expected areawide after 07/06z, including the potential for patchy dense fog. The cold front will quickly move across the area after 07/12z resulting in a wind shift to the northwest. The clouds may begin to lift and scatter at KTYR behind the front, but IFR/LIFR ceilings should persist at the remainder of the TAF sites through the rest of the period. /09/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
