253 FXUS64 KSHV 141151 AAA AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Shreveport LA 651 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Saturday through Sunday) Issued at 252 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 KEY MESSAGES... - Typical summer weather will continue as rain chances become more scattered and driven by daytime heating this weekend. - Rainfall totals into the middle of next week are likely to range at 0.50-1.5 inches with higher totals further east, closer to the Mississippi River and Gulf Coast. - A weather pattern change will allow for drier and hotter conditions later next week. Somewhat active weather will continue with ridging over the Southern Rocky Mountains to our west combined with inverted troughing overhead setting up a mini-northwest flow pattern through the weekend. That said, the degree of intensity or impact from will be muted by drier air infiltration and slightly quieter embedded flow aloft. The next more significant shortwave arrives by Sunday, driving higher chances of rain. Dew points will remain above 70 degrees, maintaining muggy outdoor conditions for the foreseeable future. Temperature maximums and minimums will remain near-normal in the upper 80s/lower 90s and mid-70s, respectively. /16/ && .LONG TERM... (Sunday Night through Saturday) Issued at 252 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 Long-range guidance continues to suggest the aforementioned trough axis trapped behind Atlantic ridging to gradually weaken by the middle of next week before finally being displaced by ridging to the west. With convection becoming more suppressed and southerly winds continuing, temperature maximums will return above normal reaching the mid-90s by the end of next week. /16/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 651 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 LIFR cigs have developed this morning across Deep E TX, NCntrl and NE LA, which should continue to gradually spread N into portions of NW LA and extreme Ern TX through mid-morning before lifting/becoming MVFR. Farther W, MVFR cigs have also developed over portions of ECntrl and NE TX into SE OK, with improvement expected here by mid to late morning as well, with VFR conditions returning areawide by late morning. While the cu field should scatter out by midday, scattered convection that has developed over Galveston Bay and portions of SW LA will begin to spread N by mid to late morning, into portions of Lower E TX and N LA through the afternoon. Confidence has increased with convection coverage affecting the E TX terminals between 18-24Z and N LA (SHV/MLU) by/after 22Z. Additional scattered convection spreading SE across Srn KS/NE OK attm may eventually spill into SE OK/SW AR by mid and late afternoon, affecting the SW AR terminals by/after 00Z Sunday. Since confidence has increased since the 06Z TAF issuance, have also included VCTS mention for the TXK/ELD terminals, which could eventually interact with ongoing convection expected over portions of N LA. However, the convection should diminish over these areas by late evening, with elevated convective debris expected to linger over the area through the remainder of the 12Z TAF period. While some LIFR/IFR cigs and patchy FG may develop over the rain- cooled areas late, confidence is higher for IFR cigs to develop across Deep E TX/WCntrl LA after 08Z. However, the remainder of the area may eventually see these low cigs develop by/after daybreak Sunday, before gradually lifting through the morning. S winds 5-8kts today will diminish to 5kts or less after 00Z, except strong/gusty in and near the convection this afternoon/evening. /15/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Issued at 651 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 Spotter activation may be needed this afternoon and evening for the potential for isolated strong to severe thunderstorms across the region, as well as the threat for brief heavy rainfall and minor flooding. /15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
