25What 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 16, 6:53 PM CDT, 1 hour 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 16, 6:53 PM CDT, 1 hour 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 653 PM CDT Sun May 16 2021 .AVIATION... For the 17/00Z TAF update, sloppy MVFR/IFR flight conditions will continue well through the period as -TSRA/-SHRA invades our airspace from the west. This convection will gradually reach KMLU by 17/03Z and diminish before the second wave of -TSRA/-SHRA arrives across our airspace from the west mostly after 17/12Z. This second wave will reinforce MVFR/IFR cigs/vis through the end of the period. /16/ && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 258 PM CDT Sun May 16 2021/ SHORT TERM.../This afternoon through Monday night/ Well our short run of dry weather has already ended for East Texas with a line of showers and isolated thunderstorm activity edging into Clarksville, Tyler and Jacksonville at this time. All this activity is moving slowly Eastward at 25 mph. Rain cooled low to mid 70s are lining up for our far west East Texas counties. Elsewhere, low to mid 80s and breezy. Another cluster of showers and thunderstorms is near Toledo Bend dam now and is lifting more northward. HRRR gets this up to Shreveport and Bossier before sunset. A strong upper low is in the desert southwest of the U.S. and will likewise be moving slowly to the ENE. This upper low has now sent the first of many impulses that will make for an all wet work week coming. SE winds will persist for days on the surface keeping us muggy and loaded moisture wise for new storm production. Meanwhile, our temperatures will be mild and close to average for mid May, but it is looking like a much wetter than average month area wide with mid month totals already there. /24/ LONG TERM.../Tuesday through Saturday Night/ A broad upper low will remain over Eastern Colorado until late Wednesday keeping southwesterly flow aloft in place and a rich plume of deep layer moisture streaming into the area. A stationary front will be located from Southern Arkansas westward along the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas to a surface low in Eastern New Mexico. Scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms should be ongoing along the warm front and across East Texas. This activity will gradually spread eastward during the day across most of the forecast area. A complex of thunderstorms should slowly move into and across the region Tuesday night through Wednesday night as the upper trough begins to lift northeast into the Central Plains and the frontal boundary sags southward towards the Interstate 30 corridor before stalling once again. This will likely be the most likely time period for heavy rainfall and flash flooding. At this time, it is still a bit early for any flood headlines so will hold off for later forecast issuances. By Thursday morning, vertical ascent will decrease considerably across the region with the upper low far to the north. However, a cutoff shortwave trough in Central Texas will still supply sufficient lift for a broad area of scattered showers and thunderstorms in a warm air advection regime across the eastern half of Oklahoma and Texas. Rainfall amounts should be considerably lower with this activity compared to Tuesday-Wednesday. Rain chances will gradually decrease from east to west through Saturday as ridging aloft and at the surface over the Southeast CONUS begins to expand and retrograde west. After sunrise Thursday through Saturday night, convective coverage and intensity can generally be expected to be lowest during the overnight and early morning hours before peaking during the afternoon and evening. Little has changed regarding storm total rainfall amounts through Saturday afternoon. Rainfall totals may remain below 2 inches across our easternmost parishes of Louisiana, but totals will increase dramatically farther west. Amounts closer to 4 to 5 inches will be possible in Extreme East Texas, Southwest Arkansas south of Interstate 30, and Extreme Northwest and Western Louisiana. 6 to 8 inches, with isolated higher amounts, are possible east of a line from Lufkin TX to Nashville AR. /CN/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Isolated thunderstorms will increase over East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and possibly portions of Southwest Arkansas and Western Louisiana this afternoon, and spread across the remainder of the region tonight. Brief heavy rainfall will be possible, with additional shower and isolated thunderstorm redevelopment possible across Southeast Oklahoma and adjacent Southwest Arkansas late tonight. A couple of isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of Southeast Oklahoma and East Texas through this evening. If any severe storms develop, damaging winds and large hail will be the primary risks. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday... Showers and thunderstorms will increase across the region Monday with the passage of an upper level disturbance. Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms can not be ruled out over East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, adjacent sections of Southwest Arkansas, and Western Louisiana, with locally gusty winds and brief heavy rainfall possible. Showers and thunderstorms will increase once again Tuesday afternoon and continue through much of this week, with the threat for locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding possible through Thursday over East Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, and possibly Western Louisiana. Cumulative rainfall amounts of three to five inches are possible over these areas, with isolated higher amounts in excess of eight inches possible, especially over portions of East Texas. This rainfall will result in new rises and possible flooding on area creeks and bayous, rivers and lakes. Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible each day as well, with damaging winds the main threat. These showers and thunderstorms are expected to gradually diminish across the region by Saturday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Activation of emergency management personnel...amateur radio operators...and storm spotters should not be needed through tonight. 09
