940 FXUS64 KSHV 021120 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 520 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1219 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 - The coldest air of the winter season for the Ark-La-Tex (so far) will occur in the next 12 hours. - The next chance of rain occurs by late Wednesday. - Dry, seasonable conditions return by this weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1219 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 The mid-latitude longwave train continues apace with trough arrival about every three days across the Four State Region. This synoptic pattern will continue to favor shorter atmospheric recovery times, limiting convection to marginally severe thunderstorms at most and stratiform precipitation (in liquid form) at a widespread minimum. The next rounds of precipitation arriving Wednesday night into Friday night will carry the same characteristics as frontal passage on Thursday and post-fronntal isentropic upglide through Friday delivers the same milquetoast convective variety we`ve come to expect in the past few weeks. WPC QPF adds this all up to a northwest to southeast 0.01-1.25 inch rainfall gradient over the next 7 days. Temperatures will respond in kind with maximums and minimums moderated below normal under precipitation by the end of the week, and back to near-normal (maximums in the 60s, minimums in the 40s) when the precipitation is not falling and clouds are thinner. /16/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 515 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 For the 02/12Z TAFs, skies have begun to clear across our western airspace. Elsewhere, IFR to MVFR CIGs remain, and are expected to improve through the course of the day, scattering out and eventually lifting to VFR areawide, with a few high clouds if not SKC at area terminals, followed by increasing BKN to OVC high cloud decks by the end of this forecast period. Winds will remain northerly through daylight hours at speeds of 5 to 10 kts, becoming light and variable by sunset and swinging around to southerly overnight while remaining light. /26/ && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Issued at 1156 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025 Spotter activation is not expected at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
