688 FXUS64 KSHV 241125 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 625 AM CDT Fri May 24 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Friday through Saturday) Issued at 412 AM CDT Fri May 24 2024 Active weather will continue through the next 18-24 hours before a lull returns across the Four State Region. This is due to troughing along a meandering frontal boundary with weak shortwaves in quasi-zonal flow aloft all acting to instigate rounds of convection across the Southern Great Plains into the Ark-La-Tex. High-resolution guidance/CAMs suggest the next round of convection developing ahead of the frontal boundary as it shifts southward across north-central Texas, with developing thunderstorms shifting further southeast of the I-20 corridor after sunset Friday and continuing overnight. Compressional heating (especially where storms don`t form) will also keep temperature maximums/minimums above average, reaching the upper 80s/low 90s and low-to-mid 70s, respectively. /16/ && .LONG TERM... (Saturday Night through Friday) Issued at 412 AM CDT Fri May 24 2024 Somewhat of a respite from active weather will arrive across the Four State Region going into next week. This is due to frontal passage expected by early next week coinciding with generally overrunning shortwaves in quasi-zonal flow transitioning to northwesterly flow as ridging builds in further north across Texas. This will not preclude parts of the area from just about daily chances of afternoon convection, and about 1 to 2 inches of rainfall according to the latest WPC QPF. Temperature maximums/minimums will respond in-kind with upper 80s/upper 60s lower 70s, respectively (and back to near normal for this time of the year). /16/ && .AVIATION...
