168 FXUS64 KSHV 060427 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1027 PM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 955 AM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 - Damp and dreary conditions will stick around until sunshine returns on Sunday. - A warming trend will bring temperatures back into the mid and upper 60s by the middle of next week. - The next earliest opportunity for cool temperatures and rain may come late next week or early next weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 955 AM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 The final areas of light rain or drizzle in our far southeastern zones should end this evening as the forecast period begins, leaving the region chilly and dry through the overnight hours. The recent rainfall and already moist air mass present will create a risk for fog early tomorrow morning, especially for the western half of the CWA. As of now, the fog is expected to remain patchy. However, the evening forecast package may update the fog coverage or intensity depending on future model runs. The region will remain cloudy until a drier airmass moves in from the northwest on Sunday. A wintertime northwest flow pattern will help keep conditions dry and clear for next week. Afternoon high temperatures will be near average for the first part of the week-- mostly in the upper 50s to low 60s. The combination of clear skies, subsidence, and a southerly wind shift will begin a warming trend midweek and bring unseasonably warm temperatures back to the area. Much of the region could see temperatures in the mid to upper 60s by Wednesday or Thursday. Long range models are beginning to hint at a low to mid-level boundary moving through the Four State Region during the day on Friday, which will likely be the earliest that we could see cooler air and rain chances return. 57 && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1022 PM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 Latest 00z time height/cross sections along with latest HRRR output is suggesting the fog development overnight may not be quite as extreme as earlier runs had predicted. Given that and the fact that we have a descent mid level cloud deck between 7-10kft across our airspace attm, have removed much of the IFR VSBYS and instead, replaced with MVFR VSBYS with a mix of MVFR/IFR ceilings after midnight through the early to mid morning hours before VFR conditions return. Not completely confident all terminal sites will see VSBY restrictions but it does appear that we should lose the mid level cloud cover closer to sunrise with high clouds continuing which may be just enough to keep fog development at bay. Otherwise, VFR conditions should prevail areawide from mid to late morning and through the afternoon into the evening hours on Sat. Look for patchy fog development once again overnight Sat Night just beyond this 24 hr terminal package. 13 && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
