222 FXUS64 KSHV 211744 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1244 PM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 1056 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024 As of 10:45 AM, temperatures are already approaching the upper 80s with mostly sunny skies. Afternoon temperature maximums will reach the low-to-mid 90s with light easterly winds. With weather and observed trends continuing as anticipated, forecast grid adjustments were not necessary at this time. /16/ && .SHORT TERM... (Friday through Saturday) Issued at 155 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024 Quiet weather remains in the forecast to start our weekend, as upper-level ridging slightly bulks up to our east. Given the placement of the high pressure, there is at least some chance that some showers get pushed into our SE zones, so I have introduced some low-end PoPs to account for this chance. Other than that, the warming trend really gets under way today, extending well into the long-term. /44/ && .LONG TERM... (Saturday Night through Friday) Issued at 155 AM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024 As the ridge builds and shifts west into the weekend, our already hot temperatures will continue to climb. Many locations could be approaching triple-digits by Sunday, with many more actually reaching triple-digits by Monday. In turn, it sure looks like heat products will be needed to start the new workweek, as ApparentT`s look to climb over 105 degrees. However, the ridge looks to erode towards the middle of the workweek, as a trough and cold front begin to move into the Midwest. There is still a lot of discrepancy with this system, but if we`re lucky the low pressure will drop south enough for us to see some decent rain through Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately, it doesn`t look like this system will do much for our afternoon highs, as mid to upper-90s are still anticipated through the rest of the week. /44/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1231 PM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024 VFR conditions will prevail throughout the TAF period ending 22/18Z.
