Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest Arkansas...
Northwest Louisiana...East Texas...and Extreme Southeast Oklahoma
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
309 PM CDT Tue Sep 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible
this evening over Deep East Texas and the southern sections of Northcentral
Louisiana, near and ahead of a weak surface front that will linger over
Lower East Texas and North Louisiana. However, the approach of a strong
upper trough from the northwest, associated with an upper level low pressure
system that will shift southeast into the Mid-Mississippi Valley tonight,
will reinforce a cold front southeast into the area late tonight through
Wednesday morning, with scattered showers and a few thunderstorms developing
along the front and spreading south into East Texas, Southern Arkansas, and
North Louisiana. These showers will diminish from north to south during the
day, with slightly cooler and drier air spilling south in its wake. Mild and
dry conditions are expected Wednesday and much of Thursday, before the parent
upper level low drifts south-southwest into the Lower Mississippi Valley,
bringing about increased cloud cover and the potential for wrap-around
showers Thursday night and Friday across areas along and north of I-20 across
Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, and portions of extreme
Northern Louisiana. Below normal temperatures and mostly dry conditions are
expected this upcoming weekend.
