Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
1031 PM CDT Sun Mar 26 2017

.DISCUSSION...
Have updated the forecast to include severe thunderstorms number
88. Adjusted the overnight low temperatures by lowering slightly
and made changes to the rain chances for the Northwest sections of
the Four State Region. This evening the upper level trough axis
trailed from Central Kansas across Central and into Southwest
Texas, with a surface low over Central into Southwest
Oklahoma and a dryline dropping Southwest across Texas.
Widespread to numerous strong to severe thunderstorms were ongoing
in associated with the upper trough and the surface systems, and
will continue into the overnight hours. The higher chances for
showers and thunderstorms will remain over the Northwest sections
of the Four State Region as the surface low lifts to the Northeast
toward North and East Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas, trailing
the associated dry-line/cold front into Northeast Texas near 7 AM
Monday. The surface boundary will move across the forecast area
during the day Monday and as it slows expected to become nearly
stationary over parts of Deep East Texas and lower Northwest and
North Central Louisiana by Tuesday morning. /06/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 818 PM CDT Sun Mar 26 2017/

AVIATION...
Mid and upper lvl clouds decks streaming into area from west,
flowing out of line of svr tstms crossing near the I-35 corridor.
Giant hail being ejected from these storms as lapse rates very
steep at all lvls near storms as seen on 00z FWD raob. These
storms may weaken with loss of daytime htg, as well as less
unstable airmass as seen on 00z SHV sounding. S-se winds around 10
kts over ne TX/se Ok. If storms do diminish, low cloud development
still expected in with moisture coming off the gulf.
As sfc winds becmg sw by late mrng to midday Monday, VFR
conditions across area Monday aftn. /VII/

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 311 PM CDT Sun Mar 26 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Mid-level shortwave to move into west-central Arkansas tonight
allowing for sufficient instability to support strong to severe
convection mainly along the I-30 corridor. Moisture, however, a
key ingredient in convective development is still lacking.
Surface dewpoints in the lower 50s across this area raises some
questions on whether moisture could recover quickly enough to
support ongoing deep layer convection. Will continue monitoring
south- central OK and north Texas for persistent convection along
with low-level moisture advection throughout the evening.
According to rapid refresh guidance, convection is forecast to
move into McCurtain county and northeast Texas just before
midnight and continue through around 3 AM. Most of the convection
will remain north of Interstate 20. Damaging winds expected to be
the main threat.

Weak frontal boundary that will be the trigger for overnight
convection will swing east across the region on Monday bringing a
chance of showers and thunderstorms to the ArkLaTex. Front is
forecast to linger south of Interstate 20 through Tuesday allowing
for a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms each day. Front
to lift north on Wednesday as a surface low deepens across the
Texas Panhandle. Pressure gradient to increase areawide with south
winds possibly approaching Lake Wind Advisory criteria across
east Texas on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Strong to severe thunderstorms again possible on Wednesday night
as a surface and upper-low across Texas wing northeast across the
ArkLaTex. Damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes will be
possible with this system. Progressive pattern to continue with
another chance of strong to severe thunderstorms late in the
forecast period. Models are still inconsistent on the timing and
location of this system.

Temperatures throughout the forecast period to range from highs in
the upper 70s to lower 80s each day and lows in the 60s through
mid week before dipping into the 50s late in the work week. /05/
