What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Shreveport, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Feb 1, 3:57 AM CST, 4 hours 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 1, 3:57 AM CST, 4 hours 22 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
357 AM CST TUE FEB 1 2011

.DISCUSSION...
COLD FRONT CURRENTLY PUSHING ACROSS THE WESTERN FRINGES OF THE
FORECAST AREA FROM IDABEL OKLAHOMA TO TYLER TEXAS. RAINFALL HAS
ENHANCED CONSIDERABLY OVERNIGHT WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR EAST OF THE
FRONT WITH SOME STORMS BEGINNING TO BECOME MUCH BETTER ORGANIZED.

COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE AN EASTWARD MIGRATION THIS MORNING WITH
THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF IT. LOW-
LEVEL JET HAS BEEN AVERAGING AROUND 60KTS THIS MORNING AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...PROVIDING SUFFICIENT SHEAR AND ROTATION TO RAISE
CONCERNS REGARDING THE UPCOMING SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. MAIN
IMPACTS WITH THIS SETUP WOULD LIKELY BE DAMAGING WINDS...ISOLATED
TORNADOES...AND LARGE HAIL. AS THE MORNING PROGRESSES...EXPECTING
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SQUALL LINE ACROSS EAST TEXAS...PUSHING
RAPIDLY EAST TOWARD THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

BEHIND THE FRONT...TEMPERATURES WILL RAPIDLY FALL BELOW FREEZING
WITH WIND SPEEDS INCREASING TO OVER 20 MPH WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 35
MPH. THE COMBINATION OF THESE FACTORS WILL LEAD TO A NUMBER OF
PROBLEMS ACROSS NORTHEAST TEXAS... SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...AND
SOUTHERN ARKANSAS. BECAUSE OF THE RAPID RATE OF COOLING WITHIN THE
COLUMN...LINGERING PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO TRANSITION TO
SLEET AND SNOW ACROSS THESE AREAS. HOWEVER...SINCE DRY AIR IS
FORECAST TO RAPIDLY BUILD BEHIND THE FRONT...THE THREAT OF
FREEZING RAIN WILL BE MINIMAL...WITH MOST OF THE AREA
TRANSITIONING TO QUICKLY TO SNOW. WITH SUCH HIGH WIND
SPEEDS...BITING COLD WIND CHILL VALUES...BELOW 10 DEGREES...WILL
PROVIDE UNCOMFORTABLE CONDITIONS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. IN FACT...MAY
HAVE TO EXTEND THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY THROUGH WEDNESDAY IF WIND
SPEEDS HOLD ABOVE 10 MPH AND TEMPERATURES REMAIN AT OR BELOW
FREEZING. FINALLY...HARD FREEZE CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH
TONIGHT AS THE ARCTIC HIGH BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION.

ELSEWHERE...LAKE WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT DUE TO INCREASED
WIND SPEEDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STEEP PRESSURE GRADIENT...LEADING
TO UNCOMFORTABLE WIND CHILL VALUES AREAWIDE. OTHERWISE...EXPECT FREEZING
CONDITIONS EVERY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. /05/

&&

.AVIATION...
A MIX OF IFR CIGS WEST...TO VFR CIG EAST. THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT IS
STRUGGLING OVER THE OUACHITAS FOR NOW...BUT AS THE COLD AIR DEEPENS
IT WILL SOON SPILL OVER MUCH OF I-30...HEADING FOR I-20. ALREADY
DRAPED INTO NE TX/ SW AR FROM NEAR KTYR...TO KLBR...TO NEAR
KDEQ...TO KMEZ WITH FALLING 40S. WE HAVE BEEN SEEING AREAS OF
CONVECTION FIRING AHEAD OF THE FRONT...SOME WITH ISOLATED SMALL HAIL
ATTM. KSHV VAD PROFILER SHOWING 50-60KT SRLY LLJ SPREADING N ACROSS
THE AREA ATTM...DEVELOPING AND LIFTING THIS CONVECTION QUICKLY
NORTHWARD NEAR 50 KTS.  OUR SFC WINDS WILL PICK UP A BIT AHEAD OF
THE FRONT WITH SOME SSE GUSTS TO 20 KTS. HOWEVER...BEHIND THE FRONT
IS THE REAL DEAL WITH THE HEAVY...DENSE COLD AIR ADVECTION. CAN/T
RULE OUT A BRIEF PERIOD OF RAPL POSSIBLY MIXED WITH -SN MAINLY NW OF
A GGG...TO TXK/HOT LINE BETWEEN 15-20Z BEFORE THE PRECIP ENDS...BUT
LITTLE/NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED...WITH ONLY MINOR ACCUMULATIONS
POSSIBLE IN EXTREME NE TX/SE OK/SW AR...N OF A OSA...TO 404...TO DEQ
LINE. HOWEVER...VERY STRONG WNW SFC WINDS OF 17-25KTS...WITH GUSTS
TO 30-35KTS WILL FOLLOW THE FROPA...AND PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY AND
INTO THE EVENING...DIMINISHING TO 10 TO 20KTS OVERNIGHT. WE SHOULD
IMPROVE TO MVFR DURING THE AFTERNOON FM W TO E AS COLD AIR DEEPENS
AND LIFTS CLOUDS. /24/
