Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
1157 PM CST Sun Dec 31 2017

.AVIATION...
For the 01/06Z TAF period, VFR conditions are now observed at all
sites with the exception of LFK where the low stratocu deck still
holds MVFR cigs for a few more hours before clearing to the south.
Elsewhere, cirrus moving in from the west will gradually fill in
where SKC conditions have been occurring this evening and should
persist through much if not all of the period. This will be the
extent of any cloud cover as drier Arctic air continues to settle
into the region with sfc high pressure building south. N/NE winds
will remain quite steady overnight near 10 kts on the average with
some occasional higher gusts. Speeds should drop off slightly as
the day progresses on Sunday with even more drop-off after 02/00Z.

Arkansas, southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest

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

The coldest temperatures thus far this winter season will
continue to spill south into the area today and tonight, with
overnight low temperatures falling into the teens to near 20
degrees. As a result, a Hard Freeze Warning is in effect for all
of the region. These very cold temperatures combined with north
winds 10 to 15 mph will also result in dangerously cold wind
chills areawide tonight through Monday morning, with wind chill
values ranging from 0 to 10 above zero. Thus, a Wind Chill
Advisory is also in effect areawide tonight through Monday
morning. This will enhance the risk for frostbite and hypothermia
to any exposed skin if you must be outside for any length of time.
Be sure to check on the elderly and those without adequate
heating, and bring your pets inside from these very cold
temperatures.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday...

Temperatures will remain near or below freezing over the area
Monday and Tuesday afternoons, with overnight readings expected
to fall well into the teens Monday and Tuesday nights. Temperatures
will finally climb above freezing Wednesday, before a reinforcing
cold front moves back through the area Wednesday night, resulting
in colder temperatures Thursday. The airmass will gradually begin
to modify late this week through next weekend, as a southerly
wind returns to the area.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Activation of emergency managers, skywarn networks, and amateur
radio operators, should not be needed through tonight.
