134 FXUS64 KSHV 221121 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 621 AM CDT Sun Sep 22 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Sunday through Monday) Issued at 107 AM CDT Sun Sep 22 2024 Upper-level ridging will remain in place off the Gulf Coast, but continue to flatten out over the course of the short-term. The flattening and retrograding of this ridge will coincide with a deep trough and cold front pushing through the Plains. This cold front will eventually begin to work into the region by tonight, resulting in increased shower and thunderstorm chances north of I-30. These showers and thunderstorms will continue to work east into Monday morning, before diminishing into the evening hours. Temperatures will continue to run above average this short-term, with highs ranging in the low to mid-90s. However, look for a drastic swing in temperatures in the long-term, as an even stronger front works into the region. /44/ && .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through Sunday) Issued at 107 AM CDT Sun Sep 22 2024 By Tuesday night, a much deeper trough and cold front will begin moving through the Plains, working into the region by Wednesday morning. Here, the low looks to become cut off and stall somewhere overhead. This will do two things: keep cooler air filtering into the region, and allow for narrower bands of heavier precipitation to form along deeper moisture flow from the Gulf. In turn, below average temperatures are possible into the weekend, aided by the increased cloud cover and rain. Additionally, a few locations could see localized 1-2 inches of rainfall with these heavier bands. Unfortunately, these amounts will be isolated, and many locations won`t see much QPF over the next seven days. /44/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 618 AM CDT Sun Sep 22 2024 For the 22/12z TAF update...Surface observations are showing a bit more locations reporting lower visibility than originally anticipated. Have added some BR and lower visibility for KMLU through 22/13z this morning. KLFK has been the other location with visibility below 6sm this morning, however, multiple non airport sites are also reporting some lower visibility and BR. Once this burns off later this morning, VFR conditions should prevail for the rest of the day. We will see an increase of cloud cover, something we are already seeing on satellite imagery, from the northwest through the day and into the overnight hours. /33/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
