What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Dec 9, 6:21 PM CST, 2 hours 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 9, 6:21 PM CST, 2 hours 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
621 PM CST SUN DEC 9 2012

.DISCUSSION...
HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST FOR ADDITION OF SEVERE TSTM WATCH 678
UNTIL MIDNIGHT. POPS ALSO ADJUSTED FOR THE BACK EDGE OF THE
CONVECTION. FRONT RUNNING AHEAD OF SCHEDULE SO SOME CHANGES TO
WIND...TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 317 PM CST SUN DEC 9 2012/

DISCUSSION...
STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES TO DIG SOUTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN
ROCKIES THIS AFTERNOON. IT IS EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE EAST TONIGHT...REACHING
THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY MIDDAY MONDAY. THIS IS SOMEWHAT FASTER THAN
PREVIOUS FORECAST. CONVECTION SHOULD BE EAST OF THE AREA BY EARLY MONDAY
MORNING WITH ONLY SOME LIGHT RAIN LINGERING IN EASTERN PORTIONS OF
THE CWA. THE COLD CANADIAN AIR WILL ARRIVE FASTER...SO WILL MAKE SOME
DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENTS TO TEMPS FOR TONIGHT AND MONDAY.

ORGANIZED CONVECTION IS SLOW IN DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON...AS MID
LEVEL LASPE RATES ARE LACKING. BUT LATEST INDICATIONS SHOW THE POTENTIAL
FOR A SQUALL LINE STILL EXIST...WITH BEST CHANCES OF SEVERE STORMS
ACROSS SOUTHERN ARKANSAS INTO NORTHERN LOUISIANA AND DEEP EAST TEXAS.
STRONG WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT AS STORMS GAIN STRENGTH OVER
THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AS THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE CWA TONIGHT...EXPECT
NEARLY A TWENTY DEGREE DROP WITH A COUPLE HOURS AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE
WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE LOWER 30S ACROSS THE NORTHWEST
ZONES BY MORNING. NAM STILL HINTING AT SOME VERY LIGHT SNOW ACROSS
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO ADJACENT SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS AROUND DAYBREAK...
BUT THINKING NOW IT WILL BE TOO BRIEF FOR MENTION IN THE ZONES AND
SHOULD BE CONFINED TO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF MCCURTAIN...SEVIER AND
HOWARD COUNTIES. SKIES WILL CLEAR QUICKLY FROM THE NORTHWEST MONDAY
AS DRIER AIR FILTERS INTO THE REGION. WINDS WILL BE QUITE GUSTY AS
THE COLD AIR SPILLS IN...BORDERING ON LAKE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.
HOWEVER...NOT THAT IMPRESSED WITH CURRENT WINDS SPEEDS ACROSS OKLAHOMA...
SO WILL STICK CLOSE TO MOS NUMBERS TONIGHT AND MONDAY...MAYBE JUST
SLIGHTLY FASTER.

STILL LOOKS LIKE A HARD FREEZE IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES
MONDAY NIGHT AND MAYBE TUESDAY MORNING. WILL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK MONDAY.
ANOTHER TROUGH WILL CROSS THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT WITH NO MOISTURE.
MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES BY THURSDAY. THE
NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN LOOKS A LITTLE DELAYED THIS RUN...WITH MODELS NOW
SHOWING THE BEST CHANCE FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS ANOTHER
FRONT MOVES INTO THE REGION.

AVIATION...
MOSTLY LOW VFR CIGS WITH MULTIPLE DECKS...AND SOME TEMPO MVFR CIGS
AT SPOTS THIS AFTN. SOUTH WINDS AROUND 10 KTS WITH A FEW GUSTS 15-20
KTS HAS REMAINED PRETTY STEADY TODAY. SCATTERED LINE OF CONVECTION
JUST AHEAD OF COLD FRONT JUST NORTH OF A KTYR TO KTXK LINE. COVERAGE
ALONG THIS LINE REMAINS MORE ISOLD OVER SW AR ATTM. THIS LINE IS
MOVING VERY SLOWLY AS DEEP SW FLOW ORIENTED SAME DIRECTION AS
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. POTENTIAL FOR STRONGER TSTM ACTIVITY THIS EVE
STILL EXISTS AND THIS LINE MAY SOLIDIFY. AFTER FROPA...NORTH WINDS
15 TO 25 KTS...AND MOSTLY VFR CIGS WITH -RA TO CONTINUE INTO
NIGHT...SOME ICING POSSIBLE ALOFT IN EVAPORATIVE COOLING BEFORE PCPN
ENDS. DECREASING CLOUDS BY EARLY MORNING...VFR SKC AND CONTINUED STG
NORTH WINDS FOR MOST OF MONDAY./VII/.
