406 FXUS64 KSHV 122330 AAA AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Shreveport LA 630 PM CDT Sun Oct 12 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1246 PM CDT Sun Oct 12 2025 - A prolonged stretch of temperatures in the upper 80`s and low 90`s will continue into the new week. - High pressure overhead will keep the region dry until a shift in the pattern by the end of the week. - Rain prospects are returning to the forecast as the ridge breaks down. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1246 PM CDT Sun Oct 12 2025 High pressure remains locked in overhead, keeping the region dry and warm to finish the weekend. Compared to 24 hours ago, no real change is present as temperatures are nearly identical, if not a degree or two warmer. At the same time, dew points below 60 deg F continue to provide a form of comfort to the return of the upper 80`s and low 90`s. This pattern will carry us into the new week with little to no change expected through the middle of the period as the center of ridge will be parked directly overhead Tuesday and Wednesday. By the back half of the forecast and to end the week, a pattern change aloft will look to increase local rain chances by the start of the weekend. Long-wave troughing across the Rockies will start to break down and displace the ridge by Thursday, with the deterministic guidance hinting as a cold front moving into the region sometime in a window between late Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Compared to yesterday, the progression looks to be a tad slower, with the arrival of any FROPA being closer to the late stages of the aforementioned window. For now, this will be something to monitor as the return of rain would be a welcomed site to many. 53 && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 630 PM CDT Sun Oct 12 2025 VFR conditions will continue through the 13/00Z TAF period. Some elevated cu may linger this evening/overnight near the low level ridge center over portions of E TX/Wrn LA/SW AR, as some thin cirrus spreads SE and gradually diminishes. Another scattered cu field should develop over much of the area by late morning/midday Monday, as periods of thin cirrus spreads ESE across the Nrn half of the region. The cu field should diminish during the early evening, although cirrus cigs will gradually increase from the WNW. Lt/Vrb winds tonight will become SSE around 5kts over E TX, but remain VRB across SW AR/N LA. /15/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
