283 FXUS64 KSHV 070556 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1256 AM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1100 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026 - Showers and thunderstorms again possible on Sunday. Those with outdoor activities scheduled should plan accordingly. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors! - Periods of locally heavy rainfall on Sunday will bring a localized flooding threat across some areas. Remember, turn around, don`t drown! - Peak afternoon heat index values by the middle of next week may approach 105 degrees. Summertime heat safety plans should be reviewed and readied. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1100 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026 An upper-low centered across the Texas Panhandle has been the main driver for convection across the region this evening. With the loss of diurnal heating, overall convective intensity is expected to diminish. However, lingering showers and thunderstorms may remain possible through much of the overnight hours due to an overall unstable atmosphere rich in gulf moisture remaining in place. The upper-low will move northeast on Sunday with low-level moisture advection continuing. Could see convection redeveloping along and south of I-20 as early as mid-morning, increasing in coverage throughout the afternoon. A few strong storms may be possible north of I-30 during the afternoon and evening. In the wake of the departing upper-low, an upper-level ridge in the Gulf of America is forecast to build north across the ArkLaTex and remain firmly established through much of the the workweek. Subsidence associated with the ridge will allow for mainly dry conditions and afternoon high temperatures in the mid 90s from Wednesday onward. Afternoon heat index values approaching 105 degrees may also be a concern nearly areawide each day. A weak frontal boundary to drift south across the region late in the work-week providing enough low-level instability to generate a few afternoon showers and thunderstorms beneath the prevailing upper-ridge on Friday. /05/ && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1240 AM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026 For the 07/06z TAFs, strong to severe convection persists across Northeast Texas just south of the I-30 corridor with additional storms to the southwest in and south of the DFW Metroplex. High resolution model guidance suggests this activity should gradually dissipate early in the period, but this is uncertain. KTXK could be affected by 07/09z, but will continue to monitor. Another round of showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop near 07/12z and spread east across the region, likely affecting all TAF sites before exiting the area to the north late in the period. MVFR/IFR ceilings should develop before sunrise in most locations with a slow improvement expected after daybreak. Nuttall && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
