656 FXUS64 KSHV 101947 AFDSHV Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 247 PM CDT Fri May 10 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday Night) Issued at 239 PM CDT Fri May 10 2024 Quiet post-frontal weather will continue through the next 36 hours across the Four State Region. This is due to surface ridging that is making its way across the Intermountain West into the Great Plains. It will quickly traverse the Southern Plains toward the southeast U.S. in the next 36 hours, beginning to reintroduce southerly winds by Saturday night. Temperatures will remain near seasonable levels in response with maximums/minimums in the 80s/60s. /16/ && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through next Thursday) Issued at 239 PM CDT Fri May 10 2024 Active and wet weather returns through the rest of the weekend and through most of next week across the Four State Region. This is due to a quasi-zonal synoptic pattern augmented by a series of slower troughs and faster embedded shortwaves across northern Mexico and the Southern Plains. The first of these disturbances will arrive late Sunday into most of Monday, then a break in activity precedes the next round of activity is expected late Wednesday into early Friday. Day 1-7 QPF values continue to trend wetter with widespread 3-5 inch totals expected and isolated higher amounts not out of the question (especially with rainfall expected later next week). Temperature maximums/minimums will be moderated by this activity as a result, remaining in the low-to- mid 80s/upper 60s. /16/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1217 PM CDT Fri May 10 2024 For the 10/18Z TAFs, VFR conditions will prevail at area terminals throughout, primarily in the form of scattered to broken high clouds, though some lower VFR cigs are possible with the development of a small Cu field this afternoon. Northeast winds will continue at 10 to 15 kts sustained with a few gusts in breezier areas, before becoming lighter and variable overnight. /26/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
