346 FXUS64 KSHV 080212 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 912 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 ...New UPDATE... .UPDATE... Issued at 906 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Upper-ridging continues to influence the Four State Region this evening as clear skies prevail. Might be some upper-level cloud debris from TX panhandle storms overnight, but beyond this, conditions are expected to remain quiet. Temperatures are a few degrees warmer this evening when compared to last night, so thinking is that the afternoon package will remain on track and lows by tomorrow AM will be in the low to mid 70`s. Aside from adjusting hourlies to match latest trends, no updates are needed at this time. RK && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday Night) Issued at 144 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Quiet weather is expected to continue over the next 36-hours, as high pressure ebb and flows off to our west. Due to this ridge, winds will continue to hover between 5-10 MPH in the afternoon, with very limited to speak of in the cloud department as well. Afternoon highs will continue to range in the mid to upper-90s, with lows getting into the mid-70s. Some locations may hit or exceed Heat Advisory criteria tomorrow, but I decided against issuing one since tomorrow is the hottest day of this stretch, and temperatures will begin to drop by Sunday. /44/ && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through next Thursday) Issued at 144 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 The upper-level pattern will begin to break down into Sunday, as a trough and cold front begin to move south from the Midwest. This cold front will be responsible for increasing rain chances across the area into Monday, and slightly dropping afternoon highs into Tuesday. Thankfully, additional widespread rainfall is not expected with this front, and severe weather chances appear to be limited at this time as well. However, it`s worth mentioning that some guidance is hinting at a secondary trough moving through the region into Wednesday, which could bring some more organized rain chances back to the region. Even if that were to happen, this secondary system appears to be very progressive, and will likely be clear of the area by Thursday night. From there, it looks as if we begin to enter into a typical "summer time" pattern, with rain chances becoming diurnally driven in our southern zones, and afternoon highs climbing to the 90s each day. /44/ && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 609 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 High pressure centered across the southeast to allow for weak southerly winds tonight, becoming to 5 to 10 knots on Saturday as the pressure gradient increases areawide. Otherwise, VFR conditions to prevail through the terminal forecast period. /05/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
