447 FXUS64 KSHV 090520 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1220 AM CDT Thu May 9 2024 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 1201 AM CDT Thu May 9 2024 Storms continue to weaken on a widespread basis and we have allowed Tornado Watch 210 to expire. && .SHORT TERM... (Thursday through Friday) Issued at 1201 AM CDT Thu May 9 2024 No other changes at this time except to remove the Tornado Watch headline from the zone forecast wording for the rest of tonight. /24/ && .LONG TERM... (Friday through next Tuesday) Issued at 339 PM CDT Wed May 8 2024 Quieter weather briefly returns through the weekend before precipitation chances are reintroduced early next week. Quasi- zonal flow aloft will allow for a mid-level trough to drift eastward across the Four Corners into the Southern Plains. This trough, in combination with ridging shifting further east across the Mississippi River, will maintain enhanced southerly flow and moisture through most of early next week. Precipitation chances will remain through the same time period as a result. /16/ && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1217 AM CDT Thu May 9 2024 For the 06z TAF package, having to account for remnant convection across our NE TX and SW AR terminal sites but if progs are correct, this activity should continue to dissipate the closer we get to sunrise. Boundary interaction near the I-20 Corridor may tend to limit northward expansion of MVFR/IFR ceilings and will also need to contend with the development of patchy fog mainly near and south of the I-20 corridor as well. Do have all terminals becoming low VFR ceiling wise by late morning and into the afternoon but introduced VCTS once again with a complex of strong to severe convection that is forecast to move rapidly eastward from Central Texas through the tail end of this TAF package. 13 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
