309 FXUS64 KSHV 111822 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1222 PM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 949 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 - Fire starts and spreading will be more likely across the western half of the region today due to dry conditions and elevated winds. - Temperatures will quickly bounce back to the upper 70s and low 80s through this week. - Rain returns to the forecast late this weekend, even with model uncertainties remaining. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 949 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 Dry and breezy conditions on Tuesday will continue into the beginning of this forecast period. As such, the Fire Danger Statement will continue until 11pm CST tonight. Winds will weaken below 10mph by daybreak Wednesday and briefly come up again midday before weakening during the afternoon. The sustained southerly flow and quasi-zonal flow aloft will promote a warming trend through this week. Luckily, low-level moisture return will also be present and help to reduce fire danger with this warm up. Temperatures look to reach the upper 70s and low 80s by the weekend with few clouds to speak of. The next round of rain continues to be hard to pin down. Models have alluded to a general trough moving through the region and bringing rain and a possible severe weather risk. Recent model guidance is leaning more into the solution of a cutoff low developing and taking on a much slower prorogation speed. The NBM is starting to align with this trend and has shifted PoPs to be first introduced to the Ark-La-Tx at 06z on Sunday. This is still earlier than some guidance is suggesting, but future packages could continue this trend if guidance continues to align this way. The NBM also is keeping PoPs in the forecast into next week to account for the slow moving nature of this low. If the persistant rain verifies, there should be some drought relief on the way for the region. 57 && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1200 PM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 For the 11/18Z TAF period, VFR conditions prevail this afternoon with mostly SKC aside from some very thin cirrus traversing our airspace. This general trend will continue this evening as gusty S/SW winds gradually decrease to around 10 kts or less. By early Wednesday morning, some cu/stratocu around 3Kft is expected to expand northward from the coast with continued southerly flow increasing Gulf moisture across our airspace. Although cannot rule out MVFR cigs along and south of I-20 terminals by 12/09Z, have limited coverage to just SCT for now and will reevaluate in future TAF cycles. /19/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
