What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Shreveport, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Apr 24, 10:12 PM CDT, 1 hour 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 24, 10:12 PM CDT, 1 hour 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
1012 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2019

.SHORT TERM.../Tonight/

Current MCS continues to steadily march E across E TX/SE OK/SW AR
and into NW LA attm, ahead of the well-defined closed upper low
that is gradually advancing E across Cntrl TX. Drier air aloft has
begun to entrain NE across SE TX ahead of the low, with the
mosaic radar imagery indicating an abrupt end to the convection
across ECntrl TX. The latest mesoanalysis indicates that a warm
front is beginning to mix N into portions of Deep E TX/Lower
Toledo Bend Country into Cntrl LA, with MUCapes beginning to
increase to 500-1000 J/Kg from Deep E TX into much of N LA/far Srn
AR in advance of the current MCS. With the SSWrly LLJ increasing
to 40-50kts overnight across this broadening instability axis,
some uptick in the convection intensity will be possible, with
isolated SVR convection mainly in the form of damaging
winds/isolated tornadoes. It is interesting to note that the
latest progs suggest that H700-500 lapse rates do increase a bit
in wake of the advancing convection, which could be advected in to
help amplify this convection a bit late over Ncntrl LA. Locally
heavy rainfall will also be possible as what has been observed
this evening over portions of E TX, near a remnant MCV that has
yielded widespread rainfall totals of 3-5+ inches from NW Gregg/SW
Upshur across much of Smith Counties, and even 6.50+ inches in
far Ern Henderson County along the Wrn shore of Lake Palestine.
However, given the progression of the ongoing convection now,
believe that any flooding will be localized as the dry slotting
will help to erode this convection from W to E after 06Z, exiting
all but the far ESE zones of Ncntrl LA by 12Z.

Have updated the forecast to raise pops to high end categorical
areawide, although tapered pops to chance/slight chance through
06Z across the Ern sections of Ncntrl LA. Did make some minor
adjustments to min temps, with the rain cooled air expected to
help cool temps into the lower 60s across much of E TX/SE OK/SW
AR/extreme NW LA. Otherwise, the remainder of the forecast is in
good shape.

Zone update already out...grids will be available shortly.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 719 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2019/

AVIATION...
Cigs are expected to gradually deteriorate this evening, as areas
of convection continues to spread ENE across much of E TX/SE
OK/adjacent sections of SW AR/Wrn LA through mid-evening, and
across the remainder of N LA/Scntrl AR mainly by/shortly after
06Z Thursday in advance of a closed upper low/trough. IFR cigs,
reduced vsbys, wind gusts in excess of 35kts, and extreme
turbulence will be possible from the stronger convection, which
will primarily affect the LFK/SHV/ELD/MLU terminals. This
convection will quickly diminish from W to E after 06Z, clearing
the MLU terminal by/shortly after 12Z. While cigs may return to
VFR in wake of the departure of the convection, low MVFR/IFR cigs
are expected to redevelop late tonight areawide, before slowly
lifting by late morning/early afternoon Thursday. VFR conditions
should return to the E TX, TXK, and SHV terminals by early to mid-
afternoon, before eventually spreading into the remainder of
Scntrl AR/Ncntrl LA by the end of the 00Z TAF period. However, sct
-SHRA with isolated -TSRA should redevelop along the base of the
trough from late morning through the afternoon across portions of
SW AR/N LA, and thus have included VCSH for the SW AR terminals
only as low confidence precludes mention elsewhere. The VFR cigs
will eventually begin to scatter out areawide during the evening
with the departure of the upper trough. SE winds 5-10kts this
evening will become Lt/Vrb with the arrival of the convection,
before eventually becoming W 10-15kts with higher gusts after
15Z. /15/
