239 FXUS64 KSHV 261747 AAA AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1247 PM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 1041 AM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024 Once again today`s high temperature is the primary feature requiring modifications to the forecast this morning. As of a quarter until the 16Z hour, temperatures have climbed into the upper 70s and lower 80s at many area sites. Based on this warming trend, and not expecting much in the way of cloud cover this afternoon except for some scattered Cu across our easternmost zones, while dew points remain comfortably low, have elected to bump highs up 1-2 degrees, reaching the middle 80s for most of the ArkLaTex and lower 80s north and east. Otherwise, ingested the latest several hours worth of temperature and dew point observations and interpolated through to 00Z. /26/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1247 PM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024 VFR conditions will continue through the 26/18Z TAF period. A scattered cu field has developed across the region early this afternoon, but should diminish by/shortly after 00Z. SKC is expected overnight, although areas of cirrus and some AC cigs should begin to spread SSE into portions of SW AR by the end of the TAF period on the backside of an upper low that will drift into the mid and Lower MS Valley. NNE winds 8-12kts, with some occasional higher gusts to 20kts over NE LA, will become light N or Lt/Vrb after 00Z. /15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
