372 FXUS64 KSHV 230002 AAA AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Shreveport LA 602 PM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1040 AM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 - Weak cold front will knock down temperatures today across the entire Four State Region but temperatures across our southeast half will remain above normal for late November. - Next storm system poised to begin impacting our region late Sunday Night but especially Monday through Tuesday bringing with it at least the potential for heavy rainfall and severe storms. - Much colder air is poised to infiltrate our region Wed into Thu with a chance at freezing overnight temperatures across our far northern zones Wed Night and Thu Night. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1040 AM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 Upper-level flow will stay relatively zonal ahead of the incoming low pressure system expected Monday. But tonight and tomorrow will stay dry with Sunday`s high in the upper 60s and low 70s. Mid- level moisture will begin to return to the region on Sunday night. Recent model guidance has shown a slightly slower progression of the upper-level trough but initial short-range model solutions have kept rain time of arrival at Monday morning and lasting through the overnight hours. The main concern at this time is the flash and urban flooding potential associated with the rain. The hope is that the recent dryness has set soil up to absorb much of the rainfall, but paved and low-lying areas will need to be monitored for pooling water through Monday night. There is also a risk of severe weather, but this is highly dependent on co-occurring forcing and instability. Both hazards will be most likely along and north of the I-30 corridor and will be a major focus for future forecast packages. Upon the cold front`s passage late on Tuesday, cooler air and drier conditions will return to the Ark-La-Tx. Afternoon highs in the 50s/60s will be the perfect fall conditions for the holiday on Thursday. Overnight lows will be flirting with freezing for our northwestern zones, but the worst of the cold will stay to our north. A hint of the next round of rain looks to be coming late this period thanks to a longwave trough. 57 && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 538 PM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 All TAFs are VFR currently, although MVFR cigs with bases from 2 to 3k feet AGL are oozing into SE OK and portions of SW AR and will likely impact TXK and ELD TAFs later on this evening or overnight in at least temporary fashion. Some visibility reductions are possible, although any dense fog should be very isolated and is not represented in any TAFs through tomorrow morning. Farther south into the I-20 corridor, there is more confidence in patchy IFR ceilings and maybe some visibility reductions in TYR, GGG, SHV, and MLU from approximately 5 AM through 9 AM. This was represented in most of these TAFs to one degree or another. Above the low stuff, expect increasing cirrus from 20 to 25k feet. Sub VFR conditions could linger a while into tomorrow morning at ELD, but confidence is decent that VFR conditions will prevail in all areas by noon. Otherwise, current light winds from the northwest at around 10 mph will become light this evening and gradually veer to the northeast and east by tomorrow morning. This winds will eventually start veering to the southeast tomorrow night in advance of an approaching storm system that will bring rain, storms, and bad flying conditions to the area Monday and Monday night. /50/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Issued at 534 PM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 Spotter activation is not expected over the next 24 hours. However, spotter activation may be needed Monday and Monday night due to the threat of severe weather and heavy rainfall. 50 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
