What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 22, 6:53 AM CDT, 1 hour 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 22, 6:53 AM CDT, 1 hour 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
653 AM CDT Wed Apr 22 2020

.AVIATION...

LIFR/IFR/MVFR quickly returning northward this morning across NE
TX with only mid and high level cloud cover elsewhere with the
exception of the TXK and ELD terminals where VCTS associated with
elevated convection has brought ceilings down to MVFR already this
morning with an outflow boundary.

Look for scattered to numerous periods of convection moving from
southwest to northeast across our airspace from late morning
through the afternoon and evening hours.

Gradient winds from the SSE and S will increase today with
sustained winds ranging from 12-18kts with gusts upwards of 30kts
possible.

Showed and ending to the trend from west to east late this evening
into the overnight hours but kept IFR/MVFR ceilings riding through
the end of the TAF period. Winds overnight across our western
terminal locations should see winds veering around to a SW and W
direction with speeds gradually decoupling.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 347 AM CDT Wed Apr 22 2020/

SHORT TERM.../Today through Thursday/

Unexpected severe predawn convection has put me behind the eight
ball so to speak but changes to this forecast package include an
expansion of the Flash Flood Watch to include the remainder of
Deep East Texas, the remainder of N LA which now includes the
entire I-20 Corridor and our adjacent border counties in S AR.
Also bumped the time up of the watch now running it from 2 pm this
afternoon through 7 am Thu. This based more on wide ranging
disagreements with various progs and their QPF output thru
tonight. Something 00z progs are consistent with is the I-20
Corridor and perhaps S AR getting a little more into the excessive
heavy rainfall threat and given WPC's expansion of the MDT risk
further west and north, thus my reasoning in expanding our FFA.

A tightening pressure gradient will result in increasing
southeasterly and southerly winds today and for this reason, will
issue a Lake Wind Advisory with this package, running it from 15z
this morning through 06z tonight.

Initially early this morning, convection across our northern most
zones should stay mostly elevated with mainly a large hail threat
but observations earlier, upstream from McCurtain County, were
measuring some severe wind gusts as well. This convection should
remain across our northern tier this morning before lifting out
north and east as we await upstream forcing and our much larger
severe weather threat later today/this evening. Convection should
become more widespread with storm intensity increasing as well
along and ahead of an eastward moving drying east of the I-35
Corridor in Central Texas and Central Louisiana. If boundary layer
heating can become maximized by late morning east of the
corridor, there is more than enough deep layer bulk shear for the
development of supercell thunderstorms and mid level lapse rates
will support very large hail. As these storms move into our region
from the west later this afternoon/evening, they should begin
encountering a backed low level wind field which will only
increase the tornado threat with 0-3km SRH values in the 400-500
m2/s2 range. A widespread damaging wind threat is concerning as
well with some indications of an MCS eventually becoming the
dominant storm mode by late evening into the overnight hours
across our eastern half.

Convection should have moved out of our region by 12z Thu with
drier, post frontal conditions to follow.

Thanks for the Coordination this morning SPC/WPC as well as
TSA...LZK...JAN...HGX...and FWD.  Prelims to follow...13.

LONG TERM.../Thursday Night through Wednesday Night/

In the wake of our upper level trough, another trough quickly
moves into the Plains late Thu Night into Friday and with it will
be an increase in upper forcing which will set the stage for
additional storm chances Fri into Friday Night. There will not but
much time for low level moisture return in the wake of our present
trough so didn't get carried away with pops but chance pops are
warranted before the system exits our region to the east and
northeast early on Saturday. A pleasant weekend is in store with
mild temperatures during the day and cool nights. Kept low end
chance pops going for late Tue into Tue night given the
uncertainty on northwest flow nocturnal convection possibilities
with an expansive ridge developing across the Intermountain West
next week.
