623 FXUS64 KSHV 151202 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 602 AM CST Sat Nov 15 2025 ...New AVIATION... .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... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 554 AM CST Sat Nov 15 2025 Low CIGs and FG are present across portions of the airspace this morning. This is expected to remain in place through the early hours of the period before a gradual lifting and scattering out of the low ceilings trend later in the day. One of the main concerns through the afternoon will be breezy S/SW winds between 10-15kt, with an occasional gust near 20kt not ruled out across the western terminals in ETX. By the evening, a trend towards SKC looks to be the theme ahead of the return of some upper level cirrus drifting in from the SW. 53 && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
