334 FXUS64 KSHV 151802 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 102 PM CDT Tue Jul 15 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1158 AM CDT Tue Jul 15 2025 - Mostly dry conditions will prevail through at least Thursday morning, with only slight chances across our northern zones today. - Heat Advisories return on Tuesday and may extend into Wednesday. - All eyes remain hyper-focused on the tropics as there is a 40% chance of some tropical development across the northern Gulf Coast by the end of the week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1158 AM CDT Tue Jul 15 2025 Although radar imagery has gone quiet early this afternoon, models continue to suggest the idea that there could be some isolated convection across our northern zones this afternoon so I have maintained some mention of PoPs across this area through this evening. Otherwise, mostly dry conditions have settled in to the region and will remain in place through at least Thursday morning. Despite the heat today, I have elected to lay in the bed we made and not issue a Heat Advisory for this afternoon as I still think we will be borderline at best. I was on the fence for Wednesday too, and after some consideration, I decided to go with a Heat Advisory for portions of our eastern zones. Please see the latest headlines for details on exact location. Pretty good chance that Heat Advisories could be extended into Thursday for some portions of the area as heat index values will remain at critical levels. Our next good chance of any precipitation for portions of our area won`t come till later in the week and in the form of tropical moisture. There is some uncertainty with this system, especially with the model runs today. I don`t think models will start to level out till the system is fully in the Gulf and we can see how it starts to interact with the waters there. Regardless, NBM continues to show increased rain chances from the system late Thursday and into Friday, but the overall theme of location and timing will be refined through the week as the picture becomes more clear. This system will also play a major role in what our temperatures this upcoming weekend will look like, so just continue to monitor the forecast for the latest. /33/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1244 PM CDT Tue Jul 15 2025 For the ArkLaTex terminals, just a slight chance for a few shwrs/isold TS at KLFK with the mid aftn sea breeze. Also at KELD near a departing upper low. Otherwise, just a touch of MVFR at KLFK 12-15Z. Winds today are SW 5-10 and a few gust, then backing overnight to S/SW 5KT or less. Wednesday will prevail SW 10KT again with an even drier day. However, the Gulf looks to open for widespread convection later this week with an inverted trough movg W along the LA/TX coast. /24/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
