738 FXUS64 KSHV 221641 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1041 AM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 ...New DISCUSSION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 959 PM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 - Weak cold front will knock down temperatures today across the entire Four State Region but temperatures across our southeast half will remain above normal for late November. - Next storm system poised to begin impacting our region late Sunday Night but especially Monday through Tuesday bringing with it at least the potential for heavy rainfall and severe storms. - Much colder air is poised to infiltrate our region Wed into Thu with a chance at freezing overnight temperatures across our far northern zones Wed Night and Thu Night. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1040 AM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 Upper-level flow will stay relatively zonal ahead of the incoming low pressure system expected Monday. But tonight and tomorrow will stay dry with Sunday`s high in the upper 60s and low 70s. Mid- level moisture will begin to return to the region on Sunday night. Recent model guidance has shown a slightly slower progression of the upper-level trough but initial short-range model solutions have kept rain time of arrival at Monday morning and lasting through the overnight hours. The main concern at this time is the flash and urban flooding potential associated with the rain. The hope is that the recent dryness has set soil up to absorb much of the rainfall, but paved and low-lying areas will need to be monitored for pooling water through Monday night. There is also a risk of severe weather, but this is highly dependent on co-occurring forcing and instability. Both hazards will be most likely along and north of the I-30 corridor and will be a major focus for future forecast packages. Upon the cold front`s passage late on Tuesday, cooler air and drier conditions will return to the Ark-La-Tx. Afternoon highs in the 50s/60s will be the perfect fall conditions for the holiday on Thursday. Overnight lows will be flirting with freezing for our northwestern zones, but the worst of the cold will stay to our north. A hint of the next round of rain looks to be coming late this period thanks to a longwave trough. 57 && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 541 AM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 For the ArkLaTex terminals, SKC for most with some SCT stratocu around 5-6kft and some very low stratus/BR right ahead of our cool front from Toledo Bend up in N/NE LA with BR at KMLU. NW winds 5-10KT & few gusts are on tap all day with just some late day cirrus arriving. Cooler start on Sunday with increasing high and mid clouds by sunset as our next upper low is on approach, bringing much convection to our Monday and night. Then below seasonal cold for our Thanksgiving travels under fair skies. /24/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
