Area forecast discussion, Nov 29, 6:55 AM CST, 3 hours 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
655 AM CST Tue Nov 29 2016

.AVIATION...
For the 29/12Z TAFs, patchy fog is creating some low vsbys at a
few sites this morning with MLU being the primary culprit. LFK
will also experience some fog and low cigs as they continue to
advect northward this morning. Expect improvement to occur later
this morning, but MVFR cigs may still linger over LFK/MLU through
early afternoon. These sites are also the most likely to see some
convection later this afternoon as another short wave transitions
across the region. Cannot rule out convection at ELD/SHV as well,
but the remaining sites should remain dry as a cold front arrives
later this evening into the overnight hours. South winds will veer
throughout the day as the front approaches before shifting to the
W/NW around fropa.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 425 AM CST Tue Nov 29 2016/

DISCUSSION...
The dryline that ushered in active weather yesterday has stalled
and will washout later today. The upper level low to the west will
push a cold front through later today with a warm front moving
northeast ahead of the front. Expect an increase in clouds today
which will keep temperatures in the 70s and dewpoints in the upper
40s to lower 50s. The low level moisture along with warmer
temperatures could allow east texas and central Louisiana areas
to see severe weather later today, mainly hail and wind. The cold
front will move out early Wednesday morning with cool drier air
behind the front with surface high pressure providing subsidence
and cooler conditions during the early morning and overnight
hours. We will provide graphics about the severe weather this
morning showing the areas in the slight risk.

The next weather maker will be another trough of low pressure out
of the Pacific northwest that will move into southwestern US. The
GFS and Euro show the trough moving into the area on Saturday
with overrunning ahead of the front. The difference in the models
are in the timing of the rain ending the EURO moves the rain out
early monday while the GFS keeps the overrunning conditions into
Tuesday and early Wednesday.
