076 FXUS64 KSHV 031755 AAA AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1155 AM CST Wed Dec 3 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1018 AM CST Wed Dec 3 2025 - Another round of cold rain will start falling this evening, continuing through Friday afternoon/evening. - Conditions stay dry for the first half of next week with sunshine returning to the region by Monday. - Warm weather may be on the horizon again beyond the middle of next week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1018 AM CST Wed Dec 3 2025 A few adjustments have been made to today`s forecast: cloud cover has been bumped up and high temps for this afternoon have been lowered to align with recent observations and trends. The persistant stratus deck will keep the region cooler than previously forecasted, but other parameters are currently on track. As for this forecast period, low-level isentropic lift and increased moisture advection will bring rain back to the region beginning this evening. This will be a slow and steady rain lasting through at least Friday afternoon for most areas, making flooding not a concern for this event. Luckily, temperatures tonight look to stay mostly above freezing, which limits the risk of freezing precip. The exception to this would be the far northern portion of McCurtain Co, OK who could see some drizzle tonight. Confidence isn`t high enough to introduce this possibility into the forecast, but is worth mentioning. Much of the southeastern half of the forecast area are likely to see at least 1" of rain in the coming days, with some areas furthest southeast possibly seeing total rain amounts in excess of 2". High temperatures in the afternoons will stay in the 40s and 50s through Friday thanks to the rain. Rain should be completely clear of the Ark-La-Tx by Saturday morning, with clouds lingering until Sunday. Calm northwesterly flow aloft should keep next week dry with near-normal temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Overnight lows for areas north of I-20 could creep into the mid to upper 20s without the insulating cloud cover. However, CPC is hinting at another return to above- average temps and below- average precip for the 8-14 day period. 57 && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1155 AM CST Wed Dec 3 2025 IFR/low MVFR cigs to start the TAF period will slowly lift through the afternoon, but remain MVFR through the evening, before areas of SHRA develop by mid to late evening and quickly spreads NE across the region. As it does so, cigs will become IFR with reduced vsbys across much of E TX prior to 06Z, and over the N LA and TXK terminals between 06-12Z. Some isolated/embedded thunder can not be ruled out within the -SHRA mainly S of I-20, but low confidence precludes mention in the TAFs attm. Even as this first wave of convection diminishes from W to E between 09-12Z Thursday, scattered areas of -RA/-DZ will linger across the area, before the second wave of SHRA moves into the region by/after 18Z. Thus, IFR cigs and reduced vsbys will persist through much of the afternoon Thursday before gradual improvements will be seen. SE winds 5-9kts this afternoon will become VRB 5kts or less after 00Z, before backing to the ENE around 5kts after 06Z. /15/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
