826 FXUS64 KSHV 011135 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 635 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1246 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 - Nice late summer season day on tap for our Labor Day holiday with a few more lower 90s in the ArkLaTex, but still a range of 80s north of I-30. - The short work/school week will continue to warm afternoon temps with afternoon sunshine, but we will be done with most rain chances for a few days behind a cool front, so our lows will be cooling as we finally see stars during the overnights. - The next chance for widespread rainfall will remain in flux as the weekend cool front now looks to hold up across our extreme northern Counties. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1246 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 We had quite a range of temps for our Sunday with still more rain and clouds over northeast and deep east Texas, but where rain did not fall we saw partly sunny skies and mid to upper 80s north and some low 90s. Our winds were SE by late day with a shift back to E/NE for Labor Day. We have a weak cool front on approach for Tuesday with NW winds on tap. These NW winds on the surface will dry out the air a bit with less humidity and little to no rain for a few days through mid to late week. The bulk of cooler temps for us will be found trending down each morning this week with clear to fair skies each night through mid to late week. By that same token, fewer clouds and will see a bit of a warming trend for the afternoon highs, which will be in upper 80s and lower to middle 90s. However, with that initial NW wind on Tuesday will linger through Thursday, allowing for less humidity which will keep us out of the excessive heat range through the week ahead. Winds will back to SW for Friday, our warmest to hottest day expected. The next chance for widespread rainfall will come late Friday night and overnight as the front draws near. At this time, the models are more content to keep the cooler and drier air over the OH River Valley early in the weekend. So being on the edge of this boundary will allow for better rain chances again, but the really wet NW flow will simply be more of a zonal W flow aloft running under the boundary. There will be some weak areas of low pressure running along the front, will allow for some daytime and night time convective activity as we push through the weekend. If we can get enough convection to assist, the cool front may drop south of I-20 into more of NE TX and LA by Sunday. So this may be our next concern for some slow moving heavy rainfall, but through the short work week we will be free of any such risks from the WPC. And our QPF outlook for next weekend is looking quite manageable at this time with an inch or two at most. /24/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 626 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 Outside of light showers north of KTXK this morning, much of the airspace continues to maintain VFR while handling a mix of BKN/OVC CIGS between 7-9kft, with little in the way of any VSBY reductions. Through the afternoon, much of the airspace should see a mix of SCT/BKN around 5-7kft, with some lingering mid and high cloud. Hi-res continues to suggest the return of VCSH/VCTS closer to and just after 18z. Given the isolated convective regime, direct terminal impacts should be minimal. What does materialize convectively should dissipate after 00z, with clouds continuing overnight. Terminal winds through the period will hold an E/SE appearance, generally around 5kt. KNAPP && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Issued at 120 AM CDT Sun Aug 31 2025 Spotter activation is not expected at this time throughout our long Holiday weekend. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
