Severe Thunderstorm Warning 134, NWS Shreveport, LA

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
253 PM CDT Fri May 25 2018

.SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Saturday Night/

A line of showers and thunderstorms that developed along an outflow
boundary from a southeastward moving MCS across southeast OK earlier
this morning, has slightly loss its perfectly linear look late this
aftn. Though scattered showers and thunderstorms continued to affect
portions of southeast OK, northeast TX and southwest AR, with
isolated showers and thunderstorms elsewhere. Earlier this aftn,
portions of the line of storms across McCurtain County did reach
strong levels as it interacted with rather moist low levels
/dewpoints in the upper 60s to lower 70s/ with hail, wind gusts and
brief moderate rainfall being the main results, but have since
become sub-severe. Can not rule out the occasional wind gusts
that could warrant a Significant Weather Advisory or even a
Warning but a widespread severe weather threat is low.

As we continue to approach sunset, high-res solutions such as the
HRRR exhibited a waning trend though with lingering precip as we
head into the overnight hours. Thereafter, northwest flow aloft
persists and another embedded impulse could once again ignite an MCS
across southern OK, hence the mean-flow will propagate it to
across the northwest zones aoa sunrise. Will once again have to
look out for an outflow boundary that could aid in the generation
of additional isolated showers and thunderstorms that model
solutions sometimes struggle to pick up on. Elsewhere, daytime
destabilization and plentiful moisture will yield isolated showers
and thunderstorms. Just like what is expected tonight, the
convection will gradually dissipate several hours after sunset
tomorrow night.

MOS guidance overnight temps is over-doing it a bit as persistence
over the last several nights have been a few degrees cooler than
what guidance have depicted. Furthermore, guidance is also a few
degrees cooler during the day than what actually occurs. Will
therefore continue to manually tweak both the overnight and daytime
temps accordingly /overnight lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s and
daytime highs mainly in the lower 90s/.

Side Note: We continue to monitor the newly upgraded Subtropical
Storm Alberto as it continues to become better defined just east of
the Yucatan Peninsula. The National Hurricane Center still has a
track that shows Alberto making landfall somewhere between southeast
LA and the FL Panhandle Monday/Tuesday. The Weather Prediction
Center still has the heaviest rainfall /4-7 inches/ across extreme
southeast LA and eastward to the remaining Gulf coast States.

.LONG TERM.../Sunday through Thursday/

Alberto will be approaching the northern Gulf Coast while the
ArkLaTex will still be under the influence of surface high
pressure coupled with an upper level ridge. Our region will be on
the west side of Alberto through about Wednesday before Alberto
begins to pull out of the southeast US to the northeast. With this
current forecast track, only far eastern portions of the area
will see showers and thunderstorms from Alberto.

Being on the west side of Alberto and under the influence of the
ridge aloft will allow for the area to experience compressional
heating from subsidence. The extended timeframe will see some 10 to
15 degree high temperature readings well above normal. Some
locations will be experiencing near record high temperatures towards
the latter part of the extended, if not flirting with triple digit
readings. Long range guidance keeps the area dry throughout the
period. /35/

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of south central
Arkansas, southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest
Louisiana, southeast Oklahoma, east Texas and northeast Texas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight...

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible this
afternoon into tonight across the entire Four State Region. The
best chances for thunderstorms will be late this afternoon during
peak daytime heating, but storms may linger longer into the
evening as a remnant MCS continues to move through the region.
There is a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms possible late
this afternoon and evening east of a line from Mount Vernon TX to
Lufkin TX, with damaging winds and large hail being the primary
threats. Otherwise, expect brief heavy downpours, gusty winds, and
frequent cloud to ground lightning. While an isolated storm could
become severe elsewhere, widespread severe thunderstorms are not
expected.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday...

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible each day
from Saturday through Monday. The greatest thunderstorm activity
is expected each afternoon during peak daytime heating, and any
storms that develop will gradually dissipate during the evening.
Brief heavy downpours, gusty winds, and frequent cloud to ground
lightning will be possible, but widespread severe weather is not
expected.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Activation of emergency management personnel, amateur radio
operators, and storm spotters may be needed later this afternoon
into tonight.
