808 FXUS64 KSHV 030510 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1110 PM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1054 PM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 - A warming trend will begin Monday and continue through the new work week, with above normal temperatures returning Tuesday and beyond. - Dry conditions will continue through the coming work week into at least the first half of next weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1054 PM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 The air mass over the Four State Region has dried out significantly during the last 24 hrs, per comparisons in the 00Z KSHV raobs, in wake of the longwave trough passage that has dug into the Central Gulf. The late evening sfc analysis depicts sfc ridging anchored from the Mid-South into E TX, with light winds and a clear sky resulting in good radiational cooling as temps have fallen off sharply since sunset. This will be the coldest night over the next 7 days, as we set to begin a warming trend Monday as heights rise in response to upper ridging over NM/W TX that will continue to expand E into the Srn Plains and Lower MS Valley Monday, and persist through at least midweek albeit flattening as it drifts S along the TX/LA coasts into the Nrn Gulf. Meanwhile, sfc ridging will linger over the region for one more day, before shifting slowly E of the area Tuesday into the TN Valley and the SE CONUS. Thus, max temps Monday will return closer to normal before rising heights/subsidence beneath the upper ridge and a SSErly low level flow returns on the backside of the departing sfc ridge results in an extended period of above normal temps through the remainder of the work week into the first half of next weekend. The upper zonal jet will shift farther S across the CONUS for mid and late week, which will nudge the flat ridging farther S into Deep S TX and the NW Gulf, although the warming trend will continue as higher dewpoints (55-60+ degrees) advect N into the region. Despite the increase in low level moisture, dry conditions will continue through much of the extended period, although a pattern change looks to take shape for the latter half of next weekend as a longwave trough begins to amplify over the Plains which will traverse the MS Valley, reinforcing a cold front SE into the region during the Saturday night/Sunday morning timeframe. Attm, low level moisture return ahead of the front looks to remain shallow, but may still be enough for isolated -SHRA development over portions of SCntrl AR/N LA, before cooler, drier, and more seasonal temps return by the end of the extended period. 15 && .AVIATION...
