010 FXUS64 KSHV 150658 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1258 AM CST Sat Nov 15 2025 ...New DISCUSSION, SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1222 AM CST Sat Nov 15 2025 - Little change in the short term period for a nice weekend with warm and humid late summery conditions. Morning clouds, then more sunshine and mid 80s into early next week. - One last good Canadian air mass will fall short of our area to start the week, but it will be helpful pacing the coming rain. - By midweek, the much advertised deep upper trough arrives with loads of clouds and rainfall, clearing Friday for the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1222 AM CST Sat Nov 15 2025 More weather reruns this weekend and early next week with above average temperatures and moist southerly winds off the Gulf of America. The models are in fairly good agreement early next week will see a cold front graze our Four-State area with S/SW winds this weekend, backing to SE briefly with even a chance for NE wind, albeit lightly over S AR by Monday. So no frontal passage or cold air mass arriving, but increased clouds this cooler air boundary to our NE, will be great to slow rain event for all the coming Pacific moisture to climb on, and slowly pace across the midSouth. Light showers and some isolated thunderstorms will start to show up for a few sites into Tuesday into Wednesday, but still it`s the mid to late part of next week that is looking now much wetter. First for our I-30 corridor into midweek, and then slowly shifting eastward through the end of the week with an axis of heavy rainfall occurring during mainly Thursday into Friday for the ArkLaTex. High end amounts of 1 to 3 inches for all of our zones with some bullseyes of 3 to 5 inches along and north of I-30. We will start to trend cooler each day after Tuesday, but even more so by Wednesday with added clouds the rain approaching. We will trend down into the 70s for highs and 50s for low with the heavy rainfall areas late week. Timing of the main moisture axis is a little slower now for more of Thursday`s daytime heating across our area. So perhaps a better chance for some bumpy storms to develop, and then finally light Northerly winds during Friday with a weak 1020mb air mass for a beautiful fall weekend. This is a Pacific cold front and not Canadian air mass, so limited drying and cold for the weekend, but closer to seasonal and some welcomed sunshine. The good news is we will not have to wait weeks again for more rainfall, instead another deep trough quickly following in the now busy Westerlies pattern will be arriving Monday into Tuesday. We may even be ramping up more heavy rainfall in the pattern during the early part of that last week. And right there is the good news for overall November rainfall totals, a period of above average rainfall in the CPC 6 to 10 outlook. And all just ahead of the busy travel days around our Thanksgiving holiday. /24/ && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1045 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 Still not confident on the amount of fog potential overnight through sunrise Saturday as we continue seeing light south winds areawide and temp/dewpoint depressions are still pretty high. Having said that, backed off the IFR VSBY possibilities at the ELD/MLU and LFK terminals, instead going with MVFR VSBYs through 13-14z at those locations. Still counting on the possibility of MVFR ceilings across our NE TX terminals as well as the TXK and SHV terminals developing after midnight and continuing through mid morning on Saturday. Given the tighter pressure gradient in place for Saturday, we should see southerly wind gusts upwards of 25kts possible across our NE TX terminals as well as the TXK and SHV terminals through late afternoon. 13 && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
