927 FXUS64 KSHV 021723 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1123 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1223 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025 - One more day of below normal temperatures is expected Sunday before a warming trend results in a return to above normal temperatures Tuesday through at least the start of next weekend. - Dry conditions will continue through the entire forecast period. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1223 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025 The early morning water vapor imagery indicates a closed low nearing the MO Bootheel, with the trailing longwave trough extending farther SW into Deep S TX and the NW Gulf. Much drier air aloft has spilled SE into SE TX/portions of Acadiana in wake of the trough, with only some patchy residual low AC in VC of the H850 trough over portions of SCntrl AR and N TX. Of particular concern are the areas of FG that has developed late this evening across SCntrl AR to the I-20 corridor of N LA into E TX, ahead of a reinforcing weak cold front that still lingers from just S of the Red River over extreme NE TX into the Nrn sections of SW AR. The FG is evident from the 12.3-10.35u satellite imagery this morning, with the expectation for the FG to gradually shift S (and possibly diminish across its Nrn fringes) as the colder air begins to seep farther S into extreme NE TX/Srn AR overnight. As of 05Z, sfc obs, traffic cams and cams from the LA Mesonet have not indicated that the FG is that dense, although that may change some overnight as it drifts farther S. Still not sure how far S the FG will drift as the short term progs have not initialized well on it yet, with the exception of the 00Z HRRR. For this reason, will hold off on a Dense FG Advisory and will continue to monitor. Otherwise, sfc obs across Southern McCurtain County OK into much of SW AR have not cooled as much as previously forecast, with the lack of more significant cold advection expected to keep min temps warmer as well. Thus, have had to trim back the existing Frost Advisory to drop Little River, Hempstead, and Nevada Counties. The FG should quickly lift by mid-morning, with sfc ridging shifting SE into the Mid-South into ECntrl TX through the day. One more day of below normal temps are expected Sunday in wake of the fropa as it mixes S through the area, with readings ranging throughout the 60s. Sfc ridging will then become anchored over the Lower MS Valley Sunday night, with a clear sky/light winds resulting in good radiational cooling and the coldest night of the 7 day forecast period. Frost should become more expansive over much of SW AR and portions of N LA late Sunday night, before a discernible warmup commences Monday as upper ridging now over the Desert SW, shifts E into the Srn Plains and Lower MS Valley. Sfc ridging remains progged to shift farther E into the TN valley and SE CONUS Tuesday, with a SSWrly low level flow commencing and contributing to even warmer temps Tuesday through the remainder of the upcoming new work week. In fact, temps will near/exceed 80 degrees over much of the region Wednesday through Saturday, as flat ridging aloft persists along the Gulf Coast and NCntrl Gulf. A zonal flow atop the weakening ridge is expected through at least the first half of next weekend, with the ensembles suggesting that any troughing will remain N of the region. Thus, a lack of forcing S of the trough and limited low level moisture return will preclude mention of pops in the latter extended attm. 15 && .AVIATION...
