424 FXUS64 KSHV 171208 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 608 AM CST Mon Nov 17 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1218 AM CST Mon Nov 17 2025 - Cloudy and mild start with patchy fog likely to improve by around lunch with a warmer afternoon and gusty S/SW winds. - This pattern is going to continue into midweek with little change expected as southerly winds warm our dew points. - Our much advertised wet end to the work week is still on course in similar fashion with 1 to 3 inches and some higher amounts. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1218 AM CST Mon Nov 17 2025 Well as expected our weak cold front Sunday did move over S AR and actually in N LA in the backdoor down to near Shreveport and Bossier City, Ruston and Bastrop with light E/NE wind. This really helped to keep the clouds locked in over the boundary with a high on Sunday of only 80 in Shreveport compared to a record tie of 85 on Saturday. This front is going to be lifting slowly back north early on Monday with a few showers and maybe even a thunderstorm or two along and north of I-30 around daybreak as a short wave moves over the plains to our north. Otherwise, skies will be cloudy areawide with some patchy and dense fog confined to our southern most Counties and Parishes. Say from Jacksonville to Center, across Toledo Bend into Natchitoches and Jena. The clouds and some fog will lift out before lunchtime with more sunshine and warmer temps again for the next few afternoons. The big difference is the wind direction shifting back from E/SE to S/SW today with some mid to late morning gusts, continuing into the afternoon. This same pattern will be locked in again for a few days with low to mid 80s for highs and lows climbing back through the 60s. The WPC precipitation outlook is maybe a little better than lastnight, but still not back in the 5 to 7 range for a max. They have a Marginal risk over our NW corner of the cwa, increasing to Slight risk for excessive rainfall Thursday and Friday. We look to receive a good inch in the Parishes and some to two to three totals West of I-49 over E TX. Farther N in NE TX into SE OK/ SW AR along I-30 perhaps some 4 inches with isolated locales. The GFS and ECMWF are in good agreement swinging the upper low over the OK/TX Panhandles midnight on early Friday with our heaviest push utilizing daytime heat in the afternoon and carrying forth into the evening hours with eyes watching the radar. So we are still looking forward to a wet end to the week with some heavy convection ahead of a Pacific cold front arriving early on Saturday with showers and thunderstorms still lingering over the weekend along and south of I-20. Farther north will be partly cloudy, but temps everywhere will drop back to seasonal. A 1022mb high will park briefly over the Natural State for a nice end the weekend, before the secondary Pacific upper low moves over OK/AR late on Tuesday with another really good bullseye of an inch or two for what may be a normal amount for our November after all. There could be some more cold air late in the month after Thanksgiving. /24/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 602 AM CST Mon Nov 17 2025 Another round of dense BKN/OVC CIGs at or below 3kft this morning, along with isolated BR/FG across the southern third of the airspace as flight conditions fluctuate between MVFR/IFR and brief instances of LIFR. This is expected to continue through sunrise, with conditions looking to improve as the stalled boundary overhead lifts north and the CIGs scatter out through the afternoon and early evening. That being said, gulf moisture advancing northward behind the front will once again support low CIGs overnight. A tighter pressure gradient this afternoon will support southerly terminal winds between 10-15kt with gusts approach 20kt. 53 && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
