Area forecast discussion, Dec 14, 8:01 AM CST, 2 hours 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
801 AM CST Fri Dec 14 2018
.AVIATION...
For the 14/12Z terminal forecast will prevail IFR through
most of the period with brief periods of MVFR with periods of
showers and thunderstorms today and mainly showers overnight.
Rains end before 15/12Z Saturday. Visibility restrictions will
range from 1/4 statute miles to less than 3. There will be periods
of higher visibilities equal to or higher than 6 statute miles.
Wrap around cloud cover will linger through the period out beyond
the end of the terminal forecast period. A tight pressure gradient
between a large surface low over North Louisiana and surface high
pressure over the Plains will produce strong and gusty Northerly
winds of 15-25 knots with higher speeds mainly over East and
Northeast Texas and Southeast Texas today and over much of the
ArkLaTex overnight. Conditions to improve Saturday night. /06/
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 536 AM CST Fri Dec 14 2018/
SHORT TERM...Today Through Saturday/
This morning a large and tightly wound surface low pressure
system was centered over North Louisiana and covered much of
Gulf Coast States and expanded North into the Middle Mississippi
Valley and into the Lower Great Lakes area. The tight pressure
gradient between this low and the surface high pressure
system over the Western Central Plains and into the Pan Handles of
Texas and Oklahoma and into West Texas will be producing strong
and gusty Northerly winds over Southeast Oklahoma and much of
East and Northeast Texas for today from around 8 AM until 6 PM
CST. Have issued a lake wind advisory for this event and as the
surface low shifts to the East those strong winds may shift into
parts of Louisiana and South Arkansas this evening and could still
affect parts of Southeast Oklahoma and Northeast Texas. The
middle and upper level closed low was centered over Southeast
Texas this morning and will be shifting to the Northeast into
Western Mississippi and Southeast Arkansas and into the Tennessee
Valley by early Saturday morning as the upper low takes a similar
but slightly more Southeast track. Showers and thunderstorms will
continue today along the occluded surface front extending from
the surface low center to the East and Northeast and around the
back side of the surface low with a cold front wrapping around its
back side. Have trended to showers during the overnight hours
which will be tapering off from Southwest to Northeast with most
having ended by 6 AM Saturday morning. /06/
LONG TERM.../Saturday Night through Friday Night/
Saturday Night, the closed upper level low shifts north and east
into the Carolinas and we are left with weak ridging aloft across
the Southern Plains. A trough develops across the Baja region during
the day Sunday and begins to lift out into the Plains Monday into
Monday Night with another upper level trough close on its heels
moving into the the Plains by Tuesday. Timing discrepancies between
the medium range progs with the ejection of this next midweek trough
make the extended forecast a difficult concerning our next
precipitation chances but we will continue to follow the ECMWF
solution which is more progressive with next week's trough. This
will result in precipitation chances Tuesday Night through Wednesday
Night before most of the lift in association with this trough moves
north and east of our region Thursday into Friday.
Look for moderating temperatures through much of next week ahead of
the trough by the middle of next week when we should see a weak
frontal passage. Temperatures will cool down slightly by the end of
next week but nothing cold for the middle of December by any
standards. /13/

A few strong thunderstorms will be possible today as an upper level low pressure system approaches our region from the west. Cold air aloft in association with this system could be the key ingredients for the production of hail with these thunderstorms today. An isolated severe thunderstorm cannot be ruled out either with large hail the main threat. There will be a heavy rain threat with this activity as well but that threat will be mainly across Southern Arkansas through the day. Showers should end from southwest to northeast across the Four State Region late tonight. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday... No hazardous weather is expected at this time. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Activation of emergency managers, spotter networks, and amateur radio operators, should not be needed today due to the isolated strong to severe thunderstorm threat across the region. 13
