890 FXUS64 KSHV 032255 AAA AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Shreveport LA 555 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Tuesday Night) Issued at 253 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 Active weather will continue to impact the Four State Region with yet another round of severe thunderstorms possible through the evening. This is due to an ongoing synoptic setup (ridging to our west, troughing to our northeast) allowing for northwesterly flow to continue channeling disturbances across the Southern Great Plains into the Four State Region. Including the latest round expected to arrive through this evening into the night. Given the conducive enough atmosphere, the SPC has accordingly issued a new Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 8PM CDT. Convection associated with this disturbance will diminish by tomorrow morning and temperature maximums/minimums will remain in the lower 90s/low-to- mid 70s, respectively. /16/ && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Sunday) Issued at 253 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 A fairly active weather pattern will continue through the rest of the week into the weekend across the Four State Region. The aforementioned synoptic setup will not change much until ridging across the Four Corners/West Texas builds eastward into our area by the weekend. Until then, additional MCSs cannot be ruled out and are notoriously tricky to catch in their initiation, speed, and intensity by high-resolution guidance, reducing ideal forecast certainty. That said, the best windows for more activity will be on Wednesday and later this weekend as a frontal boundary somewhat interrupts the best environment for convection between those two times. Temperature maximums/minimums will remain near-to-above normal in the lower 90s/mid-70s, respectively. /16/ && .AVIATION...

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 555 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 A large NE to SW convective complex continues to push SSE across NE TX/Srn AR, and will affect the I-20 terminals in E TX/N LA between 00-04Z, resulting in gusty winds to 50kts, reduced vsbys, low MVFR cigs, and extreme turbulence. These storms may eventually reach LFK as well, but have lower confidence in this occurring, although some tempo thunder was included here as well from mid to late evening. In wake of the convection, VFR conditions will return, and should remain VFR with elevated cigs through the overnight hours over much of the region. Some MVFR cigs may develop/affect LFK if the convection does not push through this area later this evening. However, another thunderstorm complex may develop overnight over Ern/SE OK, and spread SE into NE TX/SW AR/N LA by/after 12Z Tuesday, affecting the area terminals through the morning before diminishing by midday/early afternoon. In its wake, VFR conditions will return, with elevated convective debris lingering through the afternoon, with a scattered cu field returning with diurnal heating as well. SSE winds 5-10kts, except gusty in/near the convection, will become more Srly 9-12kts in wake of the second round of convection Tuesday morning/afternoon. /15/
