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 May 11, 4:47 AM CDT, 4 hours 38 minutes earlier.

.AVIATION...

Changed very little in the 12z TAF package compared to the 06z TAF
package. Depending on location of convection, either began
prevailing TSRA trending VCTS by mid to late morning, then
prevailing TSRA once again through the end of the TAF package or
began current package with VCTS and trended towards prevailing
TSRA given that overwhelming majority of high res solutions
suggest best storm coverage will be this afternoon into the
evening hours before we lose the coverage across our northwest
airspace later tonight.

Look for ceilings mostly IFR or LIFR with in and out MVFR
conditions as well. Went with VRB on the winds given the multitude
of outflow boundaries that will be present today with mostly MVFR
to IFR VSBYS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 305 AM CDT Tue May 11 2021/

SHORT TERM.../Today through Wednesday/

Getting more and more concerned for the possibility of widespread
flooding issues developing today through tonight as opposed to
more isolated flooding and it is for that reason that a Flash
Flood Watch has been issued with this forecast package to include
all but our extreme northern zones through 12z Wed.

The scenario is really the same as it has been the last 24 hours
or so and that is the heaviest rainfall is not co-located with the
true surface cold front which was located just south of our CWA as
of 07z but more co-located along strong low level theta-e advection
with the head of this low level forcing noted across NE TX just
north of the I-20 Corridor attm. While PWATS at or near 1.5
inches does not scream widespread flash flooding, most of this is
located in the lowest 10kft or so of the profile. When you
combine these factors along with the possibility of the stalled
boundary to our south beginning to slowly lift northward over the
next 12 to 18 hours, not to mention more in the way of upper
forcing upstream coming at us from the Texas Hill Country, then
you have the perfect ingredients for more in the way of widespread
flooding concerns, especially across portions of our CWA which
are very waterlogged from heavier rainfall that has been observed
over the last couple days. Pushed the Flash Flood Watch out
through 12z Wed as at least the northwest portion of our Flash
Flood Watch area should be losing the effects of both low level
and upper level forcing by that time. The watch across our
southern and eastern zones may have to be extended beyond 12z Wed
as this area will likely not be done yet with the heavier rainfall
potential.

Cannot rule out the possibility of some strong to severe
thunderstorms today through tonight as well given the rather steep
lapse rates in place and MUCAPE values but given the increasingly
widespread nature of the convection, this large hail/damaging
wind threat should be isolated, hence the Marginal Risk per SPC's
Day One Outlook.

Upper flow to become more zonal for Wednesday but as stated
above, more in the way of low level forcing may result in the
current Flash Flood Watch possibly needing to be extended for our
southeast but will adjust if necessary attm.

Thanks for the coordination efforts this morning FWD,HGX,LZK,JAN,LIX
and WPC.

Prelims to follow...13.

LONG TERM.../Wednesday Night through Monday Night/

Shower and thunderstorm chances will finally be exiting the region
at the start of this long-term period, as proper upper level forcing
kicks the stalled frontal boundary out of the area. In the wake of
this front, upper level ridging will settles in. This will allow for
a short dry period for the Four-States region under limited forcing,
and dry NW flow. Temperatures during this timeframe will also begin
to rebound to a seasonal feel with limited cloud cover, and the slow
transition to south winds by the weekend.

Things start to get interesting towards the start of next workweek.
At this time, there is pretty good agreement in guidance that
ridging aloft will slightly break down into more SW flow, and a
series of shortwave disturbances begin to move east across Texas.
Due to the increasing dewpoints, these shortwaves will once again
increase shower and thunderstorm chances, particularly in our
western zones on Sunday. By Monday night however, it appears as if a
rather progressive trough will be moving through the plains, along
with a cold front. This cold front will become rather elongated, and
potentially stall SW to NE along portions of Oklahoma and Texas.
While this stalled front will not be stationary nearly as long as
the previous one, it will stall long enough to allow for another wet
48 hours for the area. Both the Euro and GFS favor a band of
potentially heavy rainfall moving across the region towards the end
of this long-term, and into the start of next workweek.
