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 Apr 2, 2:52 PM CDT, 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 2, 2:52 PM CDT, 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
252 PM CDT MON APR 2 2012

.DISCUSSION...
WATER VAPOR LOOP THIS AFTERNOON SHOWING CLASSIC UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
FILLING AS IT MOVES QUICKLY NE FROM THE SE TX COAST INTO THE HEART
OF OUR REGION. CONVECTION HAS PRIMARILY BEEN CONFINED TO A LARGE
COLD POOL WHICH EXTENDS FROM JUST EAST OF THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH
METROPLEX...EAST TO NEAR THE AR/LA BORDER AND THEN SE INTO SE LA.
AIRMASS NORTH OF THIS LINE HAS BECOME VERY UNSTABLE NOW WITH CAPE
VALUES IN EXCESS OF 3500J/KG AND THUS...THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD
CONTINUE TO SHIFT NORTH INTO SW AR/SE OK FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
GIVEN THE GENERAL MOVEMENT OF THE LINE NNE NEAR 30 MPH...THE
CONVECTION MAY ONLY BE CONFINED TO OUR EXTREME NORTHERN MOST
COUNTIES BY 4 PM. HOWEVER...AIRMASS RECOVERY IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY
TO OUR SOUTHWEST WHERE WFO HGX HAS SEEN QUITE AN INCREASE IN STORM
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY TO THE SOUTH OF THE UPPER LOW WHERE STRONG
LAPSE RATES STILL EXIST. TEMPERATURES HAVE REBOUNDED INTO THE MIDDLE
70S ACROSS PORTIONS OF SE TX THIS AFTERNOON AND IT REMAINS TO BE
SEEN JUST HOW MUCH AIRMASS RECOVERY OUR SOUTHERN ZONES CAN GET TO
SUSTAIN THE CONVECTION MOVING BACK INTO OUR DEEP EAST TEXAS
COUNTIES.

WILL CONFINE HIGHEST POPS TO OUR EXTREME NORTH FOR EARLY THIS EVENING
AND TAPER THEM LOWER ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN ZONES BUT THIS WILL BE A
LAST MINUTE DECISION BASED ON COVERAGE TO OUR SOUTHWEST BY PRESS
TIME.

CLOSE ON ITS HEELS IS A MORE IMPRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WHICH
HAS BEEN SHOWING SIGNS OF CUTTING OFF ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS
REGION THIS AFTN. WELL DEFINED DRYLINE HAS SET UP ACROSS THE TX
HILL COUNTRY CURRENTLY WITH CONVECTION EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG
THIS FEATURE LATER THIS AFTN/EVENING. DRYLINE GETS A PUSH EASTWARD
TOWARDS THE I-35/I-45 CORRIDORS BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTN TUE AND
WILL LIKELY BE PUSHING INTO OUR WESTERN MOST ZONES BY TUE AFTN.
SPC CURRENTLY HAS THIS AREA BLANKETED IN A SLIGHT RISK AND THIS IS
WARRANTED GIVEN THE EXTREME INSTABILITY ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED ACROSS
OUR WESTERN HALF TUE AFTN/EVENING. INCREASED POPS FOR LATE TUESDAY
AND KEPT BLANKET LIKELY POPS AREAWIDE FOR TUE NIGHT EVEN THOUGH
THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD BE LESS ACROSS OUR EASTERN ZONES TUE
NIGHT AND SHOULD DIMINISH AREAWIDE WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING TUE
EVENING.

MADE VERY LITTLE CHANGES BEYOND WEDNESDAY BUT THE GENERAL
CONSENSUS IS UPPER RIDGING BEGINNING TO DOMINATE BY THE END OF THE
WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND WITH LOW END CHANCE POPS RETURNING EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS DIRTY WESTERLY FLOW RECOMMENCES ACROSS OUR REGION.

PRELIMS TO FOLLOW...13.

.AVIATION...
LINE OF CONVECTION ROUGHLY FROM JUST N OF KTYR...TO KTXK...TO KMLU
CONTINUING TO MOVE NWD...WITH ADDITIONAL CONVECTION MOVING INTO THE
REGION FROM THE S. EXPECT IFR VSBYS VC CONVECTION WITH GUSTS TO NEAR
40 KTS AND SMALL HAIL POSSIBLE. MVFR/IFR CIGS VSBYS DUE TO BR AND
STRATUS EXPECTED AGAIN AFTER 03/06Z...WHICH SHOULD LIFT 03/17-19Z.
OTHERWISE...WINDS GENERALLY OUT OF THE SE AT 5-10 KTS THROUGH THE
PD...WITH SOME GUSTS POSSIBLE DURING PEAK MIXING. STRONG UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH THE REGION ON TUE...BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND
OF CONVECTION BY TUE AFTERNOON/EVENING. /12/
